Prepare for unforeseen consequences...
That, or nothing will happen except for SCIENCE, and then all the /x/enophiles will look like douches.

whats lhc

[Esuohlim]

Is this some 4chan shit

Someone let me know so I can punch his one-way ticket to Infraction City

[Tadao]

Here you go Darkvare, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

I almost forgot about this.

It's actually pretty important.

[pac-man]

Let's not go punching any tickets just yet. Apparently there's this big supercollider in Europe, and it's on switch is getting flipped in 23 hours. If it works, hooray for science. If it doesn't, well who knows. I love countdowns!

EDIT: Wasn't there a thread about this a couple months ago? I remember reading an AP story about it, at least. Hold on to your butts (but on the bright side, milhousE, 4chan will be gone).

[Esuohlim]

Oh wait no I know about this.

Except I thought this already happened in June.

I was typing out an open letter to CERN about how they should focus a steady stream of mass-laden particles onto the event horizon trajectory so that Hawking Radiation would be negated and humanity would end in a femtosecond. My argument is based on the idea that the ultimate purpose of any ethical system is to alleviate suffering, and this would actually therefore be the most altruistic event in history.

I haven't finished it yet, though.

[pac-man]

You've doomed us all!

[Esuohlim]

If you don't finish it by tomorrow JonathanClement will.

[LordSappington]

I'm still pissed I can't find my crowbar.
Also, if you're not dead by Saturday, put a stereo r something in your yard and blast out Still Alive; that's what I'm doing. I'll try and get a recording of people's reactions.

[liquidstatik]

NAH ITS COOL DUDE

[liquidstatik]

I hope we don't die, so I can hear what happens

[Esuohlim]

If something happens you won't even understand it anyway, best to just toke up son 8]

[liquidstatik]

tbh me and my friends are gonna toke up 'til the countdown hits zero 8]

[Tadao]

Maybe you'll find that elusive particle first.

[liquidstatik]

[liquidstatik]

FUCK YOU GUYS

[LordSappington]

With as high as you say you're going to get, you're probably going to fuck SOME guys

[pac-man]

Jesus... they need to hurry up and start this fucking thing.

[LordSappington]

I REALLY want to beat down some headcrabs.

[executioneer]

thumbs down @ this thread

Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the LHC might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles.[16][17][18] In response to these concerns, the LHC Safety Study Group, a group of independent scientists, performed a safety analysis of the LHC and concluded in a report published in 2003 that there is "no basis for any conceivable threat".[19] In 2008, drawing from new experimental data and theoretical understanding, the LHC Safety Assessment Group (LSAG) published a report updating the 2003 safety review, in which they reaffirmed and extended its conclusions that LHC particle collisions present no danger.[20][21][22][23] The LSAG report was reviewed and endorsed by CERN’s Scientific Policy Committee (SPC),[24] a group of external scientists that advises CERN’s governing body, its Council.
