CERN In Focus

[bahrom69]

What is the main objective of this huge project? Who is financing all of this? What are they going to do with this knowledge? These are the questions which will bring you to the truth of all of this.

[Sgrunterundt]

@bahrom69 "What is the main objective of this huge project?"

Discovering the basic laws of the universe.

"Who is financing all of this?"

Most European countries.

"What are they going to do with this knowledge?"

We don't know yet. It is ground research. But it is the continuation of the basic human curiosity that has brought us to where we are today. People also asked Faraday what electro-magnetism could be used for. He replied: "what is the use of a new born baby?"

That baby has grown up.

what is CERN?

[grotillum]

@DrDarkEnergy

I think you are a creationist. So please stop the bullshit, you don't even know what you are speaking. All you care about is that stupid holly book who approves slavery and tells us that the world was made in 6 days (LOL).

[adzii1]

7 days get it fight!

[rinomanfroni]

I can barely understand what that guy in the blue shirt says. His accent is way too strong!

[quarkphotonect]

Blimin French person!

[Jutsum19]

when is this available for the average consumer.

[rkaid7]

LoL, youtube no hopers.

The cost is about the same as 2 stealth fighters no?... in the scheme of it, the cost is nothing.

The benefit could change the way we see and use science helping all of humanity.

[Mastaplan213]

I Believe that these fucking idiots wasting billions of dollars on this shit, and i dont believe that its gonna fuck up the earth of any shit like that but still that money is for what looking at particles? Who the fuck needs to do that?

[Perrickan]

Do you own a mobile phone? You know, a technology made possible by particle physics?

[DamianHuggies]

This experiment has a chance of curing cancer.

If I was in charge of this money, I would take this opportunity instantly.

[riciard55]

help the starving first

[KiwiBro26]

I rekon! this money could have been better spent!

[adamdrummer86]

Well... if you only knew how monumental this development and discovery of what they are calling "The Grid". Then you would retract your last statement. This is ground breaking scientific technology. Thinking about science without certain boundaries that held us back in the past.

[kingscorpion420]

this is all new to me can anyone tell me what vern is about?

[HiAdrian]

google / wikipedia

[gratch12]

bug reports are good btw, they help eliminate mistakes. but i noticed that CERN lacks the prefix CON..CONCERN

[1944GPW]

We're told confidently that nothing untoward will happen when it's switched on. But the primary magnet control screen software seen at 5:59 in this clip has a 'Bug Report' button clearly visible... this fills me with confidence!

[faustus999]

what is the date that CERN experiments begin. can anyone help please.

[stophateing]

june or july if the magnet dont get busted again

[Clandestine06]

may 2008 iv heard,

can anyone tell me if im wrong,

i really want to know the date so i can look it up somewhere on the date or watch the news

do you think it will be on the news?

[HiAdrian]

June seems likely at the moment. I also hope it'll get some kind of media coverage, but i have my doubts about that.

[Clandestine06]

yeah i know what you mean,

i hope its all over the news and stuff.

like when they switch it on,

crazy stuff happens haha.

as in time travelers and things like that.

...well thats what John Titor said back in 2000-2001 anyway.

got my beliefs:) haha.

[bigbenakacrazy]

it will be on the news if something goes horribly wrong lol :p

[WolYou]

May 2008: LHC cooling starts

June 2008: LHC Cooling finished

July 2008: Commissioning of beams and collisions

until November 2008: LHC at 10 TeV

End of November: Shut down for Winter

Spring 2009: LHC at 14 TeV

Summer 2009: The Earth has got it's own wormhole :)

[sidewaysfcs0718]

please tell me ur kidding :)

[jnajy]

If everything goes to plan, it will be switched on in May 2008.

[lysergicaddict]

Im not so mathematically savvy, I want to know, is there any possibility of the CERN project creating a black hole?

sorry if this sounds silly.

[Vapaamuurari]

Mo it wasnt silly question at all for the main purpose of cern is to build fucking big black hole that will suck us all into its depth and death. And if you STILL suspect, main character behind the cern HATES US ALL!!!!! So logically he wants to destroy us all.

And second thing is, that, black hole is so nasty, that it will destroy even our soul this means we aint going to heaven since our soul is destroyed.

[kingscorpion420]

how could yo possably know it will destroy our souls. How do you know we just wont pop out the other end reasembled. You just dont know like the rest of us.

[Clausfarre]

This guy... CERN is a billion dollar project and none could be found to present this who did not have a world record thick french accent??

I just spilled coffee on my rug in my living room. I'm cranky.

[jogayot]

agreed... "det soll fodi sedeeshn". thank god for his female counterpart.
