@Rchayes88: If you would feel more secure when the LHC would be encased in lead, check out radiation protection. 1cm lead = 9 cm packed earth. So basically the LHC is shielded by the equivalent of 11 meters of lead already. Thinking that radiation can only be stopped by lead is a myth.

Incredible. Can`t wait till it comes back online.

I saw alot of comments about anti matter in this section.. You probably all just read it in Angels and Demons.

anti matter were observed in a collider in conneticut, however it was only observed in a split second and in these collisions, nothing is certain, so cant really say anything for sure. but yeah it is a common theory that anti matter can make energy by annihilation, a process which takes matter and anti matter and they simply blast away when they collide, turning into pure energy.

"Will this help us unite as a human race, as we are supposed to be? "

An international experiment that sits on the French Swiss border with scientists from countries all around the world working together to discover some of the deepest truths of the universe to be given freely to all humanity. It sounds like it already has.

"Will this tell us the truth about ourselves and not what religions tells us? "

I think that is what science has been trying to do since its inception.

Any message that promotes the destruction of the World by LHC whatsoever is false. The power needed to generate a singularity is beyond the measurement of electronvolts. Say, the 14 Tev generated by LHC = momentum of a flying mosquito, annd does a mosqueto ture into a singularity when it collides with another? of course not, energy neede to make a black hole exponentially exceeds our current capabilities, or that what we shall ever be capable of.

last year people were shitting themselves that this was going to destroy the world. Hmmm..... nothing happened... it broke... maybe the earth broke it on purpose!

fuuck your yourmomiszero, its steven hawking who is a yank, and the people fucking us up and making us die are the swiss and the french

[wiez5]

i bet you wish electricity was never invented because that used to be a mystery too.

[godzilla74114]

about wasting time to try and store anti-matter. Or trying to develop a storage system.
