discuss.

[Kyo]

No.

[Vandole]

You down with LHC?



yeah you know me

[Boyiee]

They aren't colliding tomorrow.

Oct. 21st you can repost this and get the same answers that it's not the last day. It's just a laser test tomorrow.

[Korietsu]

Well, considering one of the faculty of my school is working with the LHC project, I have no doubts in my mind that if we are blown to bits, or completely and utterly destroyed. IT WILL BE FUCKING AWESOME. The engineer in me says, lol this shit won't happen.

[Lujei]

Some of the replies are just pathetic. I hope they're trolling.

im a 17 year old girl and im 5 months pregnant. im getting really ticked off about all this fuss as ive stopped eating because im so scared that the world is going to end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Krandor]

The only people who think that the LHC will destroy the world are idiots. If they really think it's going to suck us all into a black hole, they should just do the world a favor and kill themselves now.

On the plus side, if they end up being right, we won't have to listen to the gloat.

[Mizango]

Thank you Krandor, Thank you. It's Y2K all over again.

The idiots of the world chiming in on something they once again know absolutely nothing about.

Can the 2012 people go with them too?

[thebearofscience]

bring on the fucking black hole

edit: i've always wanted a near-apocalypse. that'd be awesome.

[Korietsu]

Actually, I'd speculate they're the same people Brisk.

It still amazes me how word of mouth and hyperbole work with the public media. Pretty much the same thing as what was feature today in Wired.com's http://www.wired.com/science/discove...dayintech_0909

However, you would have to admit, to have a fuck up that large off technology that by the galactic standard is quite low (as based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale).

[Mizango]

God I hope so.

[Exoduso]

lol black holes... okay.

I wonder what people will say after the mayan calendar ends and nothing actually happens... oh yeah, they must've miscalculated the mayans' calendar, it's actually 2022.
Point is, you will always have idiots looking for the end of the world and the apocalypse, because they're just that... idiots.
-_-

[brisk]

I seem to recall my parents telling me that our culture's calendar is in the 2500s (Cambodian). You missed apocalypse Asia!

[Rigor]

So... does this mean that I shouldn't start looting?

[Korietsu]

Start looting when they start actually smashing particles. This is just a test fire of a single particle beam.

Not necessarily idiots but more likely religious, and probably Christian. Christianity began as an apocalyptic cult, and had some difficulty resolving their apocalyptic/millennial beliefs back in the time of Apostles, And were forced to essentially change their "end of the world beliefs" since the end never came and eventually Christianity as a mainstream religion began to eliminate those views completely although some Christian Sects/Cults still hold apocalyptic beliefs/practices.

But overall people are always looking towards the end of the world as they see it a way to test their faith/dedication to any religion. Not to mention, when do religions get the best conversions? Thats right, when people think they are going to die.

So really I just see this as the usual "end of the world, by some nameless device" theme thats been going on for thousands of years and will probably not happen in my lifetime.

[Kyo]

Every blackman in amercia has their sachel's ready for looting, rigor, make it happen, rain down the bikes.
