I like riding my motorcycle and getting blowjobs.

good luck with your black hole machine

[Barry Obama]

creating a singularity in our solar system is a really really bad idea.

That's some disturbing shit.

Fuckers.

thats the plan. they are trying to create a black hole/anti matter/singularity...a little tiny one ... etc.


seems like a bad idea to me

I was watching a program on the History channel a while back about the Bermuda triangle, and some theories for the bizarre changes in energy and how batteries get drained within seconds in certain areas could be the work of small black holes in the ocean. And I just read that the black holes this thing would make should be too small to even see. That was just what I watched on tv and read on the internet though, so who knows. But assuming there are black holes, already present in our world, and that they would be super tiny, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. It's like Jurassic Park, just it's actually happening and it means a lot more..

If any of the models are right, the accelerator should create a black hole anywhere from every second to every day, each roughly possessing 5,000 times the mass of a proton and each a thousandth of a proton in size or smaller, Landsberg said.

Still, any fears that such black holes will consume the Earth are groundless, Landsberg said.

For one thing, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking calculated all black holes should emit radiation, and that tiny black holes should lose more mass than they absorb, evaporating within a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, "before they could gobble up any significant amount of matter," Landsberg said.

They would each take about 100 hours to gobble up one proton.

At that rate, even if one did not take into account the fact that each black hole would slow down every time it gobbled up a proton, and thus suck down matter at an even slower rate, "about 100 protons would be destroyed every year by such a black hole, so it would take much more than the age of universe to destroy even one milligram of Earth material," Landsberg concluded. "It's quite hard to destroy the Earth."

We won't know for sure until it happens, but I feel pretty safe.

This shit is insane.

Some part of me is hoping something awesome will happen, Half Life style so we can all join forces to battle inter dimensional beings from another world, thus creating world peace and happiness for all (ID4 style). Word.

It's pretty amazing. I guess we'll know how it works by Thursday??

I think I saw one of these in the movie Event Horizon
