charliemsays...It actually doesnt start colliding streams till october sometime.
Silly people.
Octopussysays...Well, it would be the ultimate joke if, of all people, the Swiss would overlook a tiny safety precaution and cause the end of the world as we know it.
kageninsays...Oh, I needed this. Fucking PRICELESS.
12528says...Exactly, Priceless!
And Nobel feuding begins as Dr. Hawking (who estimates a 1% chance micro black holes will be created but thinks they will evaporate), bets $100 that the Higgs Boson will not be discovered and Professor Peter Higgs attacks Dr. Hawking's scientific credibility.

12962says...Man's technology has exceeded his grasp. - 'The World is not Enough'
Zealous Nobel Prize hungry Physicists are racing each other and stopping at nothing to try to find the supposed 'Higgs Boson'(aka God) Particle, among others, and are risking nothing less than the annihilation of the Earth and all Life in endless experiments hoping to prove a theory when urgent tangible problems face the planet. The European Organization for Nuclear Research(CERN) new Large Hadron Collider(LHC) is the world's most powerful atom smasher that will soon be firing subatomic particles at each other at nearly the speed of light to create Miniature Big Bangs producing Micro Black Holes, Strangelets and other potentially cataclysmic phenomena.
Particle physicists have run out of ideas and are at a dead end forcing them to take reckless chances with more and more powerful and costly machines to create new and never-seen-before, unstable and unknown matter while Astrophysicists, on the other hand, are advancing science and knowledge on a daily basis making new discoveries in these same areas by observing the universe, not experimenting with it and with your life.
The LHC is a dangerous gamble as CERN physicist Alvaro De Rújula in the BBC LHC documentary, 'The Six Billion Dollar Experiment', incredibly admits quote, "Will we find the Higgs particle at the LHC? That, of course, is the question. And the answer is, science is what we do when we don't know what we're doing." And CERN spokesmodel Brian Cox follows with this stunning quote, "the LHC is certainly, by far, the biggest jump into the unknown."
The CERN-LHC website Mainpage itself states: "There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions,..." Again, this is because they truly don't know what's going to happen. They are experimenting with forces they don't understand to obtain results they can't comprehend. If you think like most people do that 'They must know what they're doing' you could not be more wrong. Some people think similarly about medical Dr.s but consider this by way of comparison and example from JAMA: "A recent Institute of Medicine report quoted rates estimating that medical errors kill between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year in US hospitals." The second part of the CERN quote reads "...but what's for sure is that a brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator,..." A molecularly changed or Black Hole consumed Lifeless World? The end of the quote reads "...as knowledge in particle physics goes on to describe the workings of the Universe." These experiments to date have so far produced infinitely more questions than answers but there isn't a particle physicist alive who wouldn't gladly trade his life to glimpse the "God particle", and sacrifice the rest of us with him. Reason and common sense will tell you that the risks far outweigh any potential(as CERN physicists themselves say) benefits.
This quote from National Geographic exactly sums this "science" up: "That's the essence of experimental particle physics: You smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out."

davidrainesays...*sniff sniff* I smell a ban coming on... But maybe not yet, as SaneScienceOrg has yet to post any videos.
To mas8705, you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to make outrageous comments that no-one will be able to *dis*prove, not that no-one will be able to prove. Unless you believe in an afterlife and you want to be able to say "Told you so!" in which case go for it.
siftbotsays...Tags for this video have been changed from 'endgame' to 'endgame, LHC, Switzerland, physics, The Week, Jaws of infinity' - edited by MarineGunrock
MarineGunrocksays...And mas, how about some fucking tags next time? C'mon, man.
MarineGunrocksays...As far as I'm concerned, that comment was spam. If I see it pop up on other threads (ala copy pasta) I'll just swing the ol' banhammer.
