try clapping at the speed of light.

[TrueThanny]

Actually, no. When you clap your hands together, you're not causing any atomic collisions at all. You're just bouncing electric charges against each other.

But the worries about the LHC destroying the earth are quite idiotic.

[Lavabug]

Awesome editing and choice of music.

[NightzKidz]

You'll be able start understanding the basics when you hit University.

[DramaJoker]

What class is that lol :D

[imagfgoober]

ugh im like the smartest guy in my class

(im 13) and i hardly undarstand this

kinda hard

[then33k4]

somebody had to say it and i agree.

[pschaffner74]

Remember that at the atomic size it is mostly empty space, if you make an entire atomic nucleus to be the size of a grape, the first electron would be slightly more than two miles away!

[mannybutch2]

It is hard to grasp that these particals actualy pass through metalics and other stuff...like a 'ghost' say..how does the stuff pass though something any way?? how small do you have be to ''miss'' the particals/atoms of the object you are passing through??

That is a bit wack! but i know it to be true for the simple reason that x-rays do it.

Mad stuff science!..but i wish they would hurry up and get some results soon..all these religious nuts need a bit of whats comming!! TRUTH!!

The more we discover, the more times we can ask the questions "why" and "how." Some people attempt to answer the subsequent by saying "God" where as others continue the search and ask "why and how" yet again. You cannot defame the pioneers of physics without simultaneously proving yourselves ignorant by taking advantage of its applied discoveries ( i.e. your computer)

Furthermore, the discovery of the fundamentals of physics hardly discredits the exsistance of a "GOD"

[Neeboopsh]

a: you can't spell "molecules". b: you dont slap molecules together at the LHC. c: those two gross inadequacies of your knowledge make your critiques of science totally invalid. have a good day, and please. go read a book :) not something by lee strobel either :)

[ncwdane]

actually as some scientist Have discovered the intelligent design such as the so called simple single cell as it used to be called, after seeing it takes over a trillion organized well orchestrated functions to happen, they actually became creationist, slapping a few molicules together doesnt prove a big explosion created life & Organization, lol,
