Big Bang Day - Who Would Dara O'Briain Throw into a Black Hole? - BBC Radio 4

[buffaloface1]

what would you bin in a black hole. my internet history

[alexhamster1134]

why are the swear words bleeped? they dont offend anyone in the 21st century. shit fuck cunt.

[Antigen800]

Dara you should grow a beard.

[Smithpolly]

Why is Dara in heaven?

[CalumGilhooly]

I like Dara very much, respect him as a comedian and a clever man but I would instantly uninvent nuclear physics and all the nuclear power stations and weapons if I could. Send all the Uranium, plutonium, strontium, etc. etc. into a black hole and save our planet from what these eejits are doing to us and our beautiful pale blue dot.

[bossmonkeykj]

@CalumGilhooly that's incredibly short sighted... nuclear physics accounts for half the physical forces in existence. You're willing to do away with a better understanding of the universe we live in because people misuse it? People misuse science all the time. Whose fault is that?

[CalumGilhooly]

@bossmonkeykj You try living near Fukushima or Chernobyl or watch your family dying from the effects of DU rounds and tell me I'm short sighted. I'm not talking about the study of how the universe was created and how it is held together but using nuclear physics for weapons and power stations that we cannot control and that produces waste we cannot dispose of is, in my opinion, incredibly short sighted bordering on downright psychotic and I am not alone in holding that opinion. I think Einstein

[bossmonkeykj]

@CalumGilhooly that's my point. I didn't say I agreed with the application of the knowledge, but knowledge on its own is never to blame

[CalumGilhooly]

@bossmonkeykj Me too I'm simply saying that I wish all the fissionable material, the most toxic substances known to man, to be GONE!

[spannerotoole]

Physics rocks, no. But geology rocks.

[RzTriikz]

sience rocks 

[BarefootBeggar]

Fat Dara = sexy. Thin Dara = weird and not sexy.

[Schlurble]

Dara not a scientist? So he claims, with his theoretical physics degree >_>

[DeathMetalShredd666]

FOOM!!!

[Hitlerrrchan]

anyone ever notice that to be famous or a comedian in hollywood you essentially just have to be jewish, know people, or be lucky enough to get producers to like you. whereas in britain it seems like the funniest and most well respected comedians are all educated at oxford, cambridge, or in some way have an enormously impressive education and intellect? it seems that way to me. why can't we have those? ;_; why do we get russell brand sent to us. cause he appeals to us? WHYY

[Spazmac118]

@Hitlerrrchan Russell Brand = Douchebag

 Frankie Boyle = Sorta uneducated Dara Obriain = Educated

Dara is smart but if you go to study physics at a high level (even in school) you will know what hes talking about. Peace

[frickinradical]

@Hitlerrrchan well you have him now ...and unfortunately we do not accept refunds or returns

[tiddlypom]

@Hitlerrrchan if you think Dara O'Briain is Jewish, then there's a lot you don't know about the world yet

[Hitlerrrchan]

@tiddlypom i never said he was jewish. try reading my comment again.

[elfwhitewave]

he's going really grey already

[DieChavScum]

It was a great day. I understood it, but my class wouldn't listen, because they don't understand anything.

There was no danger of a black hole, yeah, it could have occurred but it would be the size of 2 atoms.

[ARADude360]

rember that day all my school was frightened

[UltraSexy911]

Dara is an idiot!!!!!!!

[BarefootBeggar]

Dara's cute.

[fuzzyhairedwhore]

I agree

[ThinGuyJoe]

Its funny really because even if there was a black hole at CERN (which there won't be) it wouldn't manifest when they turned it on back in September... the media... they know nothing.

[iRobb94ii]

eh, i remember the whole big bang black hole worlds gonna end thing, but tbh, i couldnt care less about the big bang, and im sure other people will agree. You have the religionists, they believe God created the world. Scientists, they believe it happened due to a big bang and you have the others. Who like me couldnt care less as we believe we should focus on now or the future or whatever, and wait to find out when a time machine is invented or something.

[godsmack86]

dara looks like god with all that white light

[curleysnork]

wouldnt it be funny that when you died and your heading to the gates of heaven that he is actually god. and he will say im hear and frankie is in hell lol

[godsmack86]

i actully could see that happening. i think i would be seeing frankie though

[numberonenobody]

are you kidding me!!!? ... everyone knows frakie would be god, lol

[SHAOLINSINZ]

bill hicks was closer to a god noone done it like bill, dara o brian n frankie boyle are just funny motherfuckers.

[MattCFC300]

George Carlin is better than Bill hicks but Hicks is a legend in his own right.

[ELMcADAM]

@MattCFC300 opinions, opinions, opinions lmao.

[xplosiv026]

@godsmack86 what do you mean looks like?

[TheRainstorm97]

@godsmack86 Stop talking about black roles like that you racist! You and your white background, rrrr!

[wormyrug]

@godsmack86 somewhat ironic considering he's an atheist

[cannibalfan01]

@godsmack86 maybe because he is

[Destro7000]

@godsmack86 oh that's what god looks like, I've always wondered. A man with a lot more white lighting on him than usual.

[thesilentsaiyan]

bleargh, this video has completely thrown my perspective out, all that white background and the massive white writing! Did anybody else get that?

[abfahrtranqui]

"I'd tell all the homeopaths that it would suck out all toxins from their system... and then... ya, just one step further... HLUP!"

[bloodsnipe12]

we're not gunna die now shut up retards

[canyonerodriver]

janey he looks old

[Jgoo24]

Ben Miller is a physicist and now Dara O'Briain is a cosmologist??

They'll be telling jokes next!

[zenib03]

for some reason u always put the same thing up

[aquapunk0]

To the F***heads on Tues who said we'd Die!

HahAHaHAha.

You phail at physics.

I'm the only person who actuallt got 35% of the physics of it, and who actually had bothered to read it up.

You know, instead of just being a sheep about this whole affair.

And I was right.

[rachy13xx]

Well we might fail at physics but you will fail at english because you can't spell fail! Also they said it might take 4 years to have any effect!

[Jgoo24]

They havent actually done anything yet, they've only just started it up.

we're still not going to die though

[troumer]

No, actually we will all die.

It won't have anything to do with CERN and we won't all go at once, but we will all die.

Anyone else notice Dara's canine teeth? Wow...

[joshp0093]

are you a goth troumer?

[troumer]

No, not really. Just someone who's still very puzzled by the needlessly artsy direction/production of these clips. Once you get past the lighting, there's the make-up. And I bet they either specified or provided that shirt.

It's shame b/c it distracts from the content, which is actually quite good.

[cacacacosa]

i love this man

[missgreeneyes56]

I'm off to look at Mozart.

[missgreeneyes56]

Well, there you go, there. Big Bang Day. It was as interesting as the Eurovision Song Contest. Physics is boring. Leave it to God. He understands it.  I don't and nor does Dara.

[jimbobeire]

Oh, this is the trouble with people believing crazy headlines. Those huge particle accelerators at CERN and other places have been used many times before. This time they're just looking for a different particle, with a funny name, and the newspapers are having a field day with it. There will be no black hole or end of the universe folks. a 5 minute study of what a black hole is would show why not, so stop panicking.

[nibbleswillow]

Very dissapointed no black holes no aliens no superheroes what a waste of money lol!!!

[TheOmega11]

I agree with you nibbleswillow. Wasted money for nothing except a massive machine that does what space already does anyway. lol

[DieChavScum]

TheOmega11, wtf? Do you even understand what a supercollider does?

[TheOmega11]

Jokes are easy to make, but apparently too difficult to understand.

[jedaaa]

you really dont seem to know what its for young grasshopper (TheOmega11)

[TheOmega11]

No, but alas, that is what the interweb is for...

[K3val]

even if "space" would do that (which is not true) but we couldn't thats the basic understanding for you of why we need that...

[comegetasample]

VrtyBrtn is rite im 13 and i dont wanna die a virgin so if the world is gona end im screwing the first fit girl next to me lolage !!!

[turtleheadedbadger]

you're an idiot

[Childrenwithguns5000]

wow well were really in a black hole if im drinking a cup of tea right now arent i

[InstantH3llMurd3r]

And it didn't happen.

[zenib03]

well they jus sent 2 up and it went through the tunnel thing they neede it to go through , im glad were ok till know , the have suceeded in the 1st 2 but are plannig 2 do more

[DannyPhantomDanielle]

Who cares if "the world ends"?! We're all just going to die even if this black hole doesn't destory Earth.. so I don't know what most gullible fools are so worried about..

[VrtyBrtn]

True, but it would be nice to die from old-age after having had a decent life than have the world end because of a mistake made by some ironically stupid scientists.

[TheOmega11]

How would that be considered "ironic"? lol

[VrtyBrtn]

Because as scientists they ought to be clever, so the hypothetical stupidity would be ironic because of how they shouldn't have made a mistake because of their being clever. :)

[TheOmega11]

No the joke was that scientists weren't bright. :/ lol

[VrtyBrtn]

Well that's another way of putting it. :P

[ChrisDavies700]

Action at a distance being ironic with telepathy

[jadeypoo102]

i don't know how old you are.

but i don't want to die young

[kangol99]

when is it?

[KSEboom]

10th September (Today)

[backups121]

theres more chance of winning the lottery 5 days in a row..

[laguna4ever]

tryna whipe out the earth with out the publics permission! basterds... lol i doubt it will happen in disaster but u fucking basterds!

[sloth564]

chill the fuk out, its a slight chance it will make a black hole and kill us all...they always say the worlds gonna end everyfuking year, grow up

[paulorpauly]

ye i no lol its liek a 1 in 5millio chance it will happen lol

[fortresskepper]

barsterds

[rachy13xx]

what the hell do they think they're doing ?? If it does destroy Earth then what is the point in doing it in the 1st place ?? The whole experiment will be pointless!! Why can't they just accept that people have different views on how the world was created! For scientists they're not very bright and they could be being suicidal!!!

[kuzzlenuzzle]

Well, they just turned it on and we're not dead, so I guess they're brighter than you think.

[jrs2003]

That's exactly like saying that the first explorers shouldn't have gone to the edge of the world because they would have fallen off the side and been killed.

The experiment will not destroy the Earth.

They are trying to clear up the argument of the "different views" and put one definitive one.

For someone exacting prejudice upon this, you're not very bright. :P

[PJHoutman]

Well, you might be right - however (!), the explorer went to the Americas because they believed that there was something there, something we could walk on, build on, farm on, etc.

This experiment, as you say, is just trying to clear up an argument, and that is no reason to spend such bizarre amounts of money.

[chrislibertine]

no, the explorer didnt go to america because they belived there was some thing there! they were infact looking for a new route to india...

[SHAOLINSINZ]

yes congratulations for believing what they told you, but anyone who has researched the characters that led the conquest understand they knew it was there, and were really conquering the land by killing the natives.

which is why white people think they run America which is complete lies they just live on stolen land.

Americans have little history.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

I don't think any white person thinks he's running America.

[SHAOLINSINZ]

Most Americans bear in mind theres 270 million most certainly do not even know there own history so what i mean by that is they think they "own" America based on what people from Europe chose to conquer. Even though America is a puppet country that has been owned and used accordingly by leaders who have come from further back than rome and the british empire.

[dunmharu]

they are trying to discover the higgs-boson particle, its a magic wand that stops noobs like you posting on the internet

[rachy13xx]

Haha funny guy :D but no one seemed to know what was happening at the time so people made assumptions.

Chinnss:)

[xxlolownedxx]

when is it? wasnt it meant to be 1:00pm today?! (09 sept)

[InstantH3llMurd3r]

To be perfectly honest, (if it happens) I don't really care.

Our lives are underwhelmingly futile.

Furthermore, spaghettification in theory is painless, after all.

And, who knows, there may yet be life in a singularity.

[zenib03]

omg how stupid, wht is the point tryin to know more about somet if u gonna die , this has 2 be stopped by someone or else i jus pray this does not mess up .

[operationturkey]

Don't believe all them media bullshit about this. The chances that a black hole is created is minute, and even if one is made it will exist for a tiny fraction of a second. It really poses no threat to anyone.

[chezamblan]

The verdict of an exhaustive safety assessment is that world is not going to end when scientists switch on the Large Hadron Collider. Professor Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith says there have long been high energy particles flooding in from the cosmos - and if they were dangerous they would have killed us a long time ago.

[MdRn123]

this happens all the time n spaCE TO PLANETS LIKE jupitor and they hit each other much more faster and u dont see jupitor dissaPEARING

[furiso2]

Jupitor is made of gas.

[alexanderheritage]

WorldNews92, you may be happy to remain a monkey, picking at your own arsehole for yummy crumbs and shrieking at the eclipse but the rest of humanity has a aimed a little higher. As is evidenced by CERN.

Do fuck off, contemptible little mammal.

[happyidiottalk]

@alexanderheritage LOL, you sir, made me do laughing.

[WorldNews92]

If I could throw anything into a black hole...

...Firstly, I would throw in the Swiss, for attempting to destroy the whole world in the name of science; secondly, I would throw in Peter Higgs, who discovered a particle that is the reason why the Swiss are attempting to destroy the world in the name of science.

[TRzIHEADSHOTz]

Somert says in bible man kind will wipe thier own race out

[Tarkan1989Asap]

if this fucks up , we are all fucked up... i don't think they should even bother taking the chance i mean, why try something that possibly wotn even work , anything could go wrong other than that why not live ur life here on earth and stop trying to civilise... seruiosly after wednesday if im dead then fuck you very much.

[paulwolves2k7rs]

i agree with tarkan.

[scottmasson01]

it's not guna fuck up. The bloke that did the risk assesment said himself that the theory for CERN creating a black hole doesn't make sense. Its all on Brian Cox's documentary "Big Bang Machine" watch it.

[bboycarl1]

So what?! They cant even make a proper percentage because it has never been done before, no one really knows what is going to happen and half of it is going of a theory from Hawkins and that theory cannot be proved!

thats why this needs to be STOPPED!!

[scottmasson01]

this is nothing to do with Hawkins. Stop throwing his name about because he is the only scientist you know of.

[operationturkey]

Actually Hawkins verified that a tiny black hole could be created. But other than that he has nothing to do with the experiment.

[scottmasson01]

o ok. I didn't know that cheerz OperationTurkey

[alabzam]

I agree with you.

Loads of people at my school were acting fucking stupid because of this.

If something was going to go wrong the goverment would do something about it.

[BioniclekillerX]

go f**k your self TROLL2020

[BioniclekillerX]

This cid all go f***ing wrong and F**k us all

[ProgPortUK92]

Well ive just read the page about it all, there is no chance of getting a black hole explains hawking... so dont believe in any crap saying oh there is a chance of getting a black hole and us dying.... whatever...

[portersbabe]

Hawking said himself that he got it wrong .

[itsChristonabike]

Who said when they switch the LHC on there will be a big flash then a sign saying "level two"

[scottmasson01]

Frankie Boyle

[itsChristonabike]

Yeah, that's it, from mock the week, cheers matey!

[athenryguy]

what u mean himself??? he is amazinly funny and brilliant

[AlexTheRussianAnt]

Boo!

[misterfisherman]

at least it would stop us from having to pay tv tax anymore.one plus side for the end of the world

[popkkskall]

ghjghj... brilliant (!)

Can't wait for Big Bang Day!

Torchwood. Been waiting for it for months.

[PeteMP1992]

LOL They might make a new Rift!

[popkkskall]

Aye...

That's where Torchwood 4 got to ;)

[StrathpefferDrummer]

physics is fun. tehe.

[RIPdementia]

Love it. That's a pretty comprehensive video description there as well ^^

[scrumpled]

lol at video description: "ghjghj"

woo dara o briain

[crystalwolf]

haha ye I was about to say that :P
