The Large Hadron Collider at CERN reaches operation temperature in eight days on the 10th of September 2008 and will begin the test phase. On October 21st the first collision will take place.
This could mean that we could be about to take a closer step to the unified theroy of evertything, enter a new age of science, or all be sucked into a black hole, stranglet, or a rip in space time; depending on who you talk to. 
This thread is to be used to follow the progress of the last weeks of preparation.
So T minus 49 days. |

I hear a microsingularity would just evaporate anyway. |

Indeed, if Hawking radiation is more than a theory. On paper it looks good, decay of a black hole at that size should mean it is gone within a micro second. Even before it effects it's local area, if they detect Hawking radiation the man himself will be proven right. If not, blame him!  |

Good read for anyone interested in the LHC. |

"I am in fact immensely irritated by the conspiracy theorists who spread this nonsense around and try to scare people. This non-story is symptomatic of a larger mistrust in science, particularly in the US, which includes intelligent design amongst other things. The only serious issue is why so many people who don't have the time or inclination to discover for themselves why this stuff is total crap have to be exposed to the opinions of these half-wits."

Did anyone else find that part eerily similar to that Skynet scene in T2..? 
I for one welcome our new micro black hole overlords. |

Or a couple particles will collide and nobody will care anymore.
**** that, I'm rooting for unified physics. |

I'm 38 years old. Should I still be finding a picture of a couple of penii (is that even a word?) so hugely amusing? |

If it does open up a gateway of some kind which is highly unlikely due to the energies involved, that would be the coolest thing evar!

Iirc the universe we live in was started by a bigbang in cern, using a LHC trying to find out how the last universe started.
