Large Hadron Collider Creates Incredibly Dense Primordial Matter

[Bloody Loon]

perpetual motion= perpetual energy= Suddenly those stars don't seem so far away anymore.

However, perpetual energy does not equal infinite energy. Those stars are just as far away as they always were.

(einsteinian relativity requires infinite energy to go the speed of light, because of the increase of mass that faster something goes.)

So the LHC created a Jesus; everything is as it should be.

 

[crop52]

so perpetual motion can exist? but not perpetual energy? what?

Without friction or air resistance, given an endless surface, an object can move forever, yet have limited, perhaps even low energy. But as soon as you try to convert that into other forms of energy, you take away energy from the object, and it starts to slow down, and eventually stop.

look i have nothing good to say about the hadron collider but i understand that some people want to know things that badly but my question is why do they need more then one? thats just asking for a problem one miss-hap or terrorist and bam! nothing.... it scares me i don't care how careful they are.

....great chat for impressing the lady's but does it make a decent cup of coffee
naa just kidding,this is trully amazing, never thought they would get something of scientific importance in such a short time.

But nothing can be learned from this, it's just like high water pressure, only more so.

Right NOTHING can be learned from this. How could you possibly know that. Are you one of the scientists working on LHC?
No. Obviously not because scientists don't think like this.
Where would we be if people just never did experiments and instead said: "guys there's no point. We aren't going to learn anything from this."

 

[Lullabye]

So, uhh, this stuff then?

Nice.
OT: soooo, they basically made some thing denser than a heavy star? The gravity created by that would be freaking terrifying. I hope they keep it to a manageable minimum.

Science wins.

Yet more then half of population of earth still believes in deities.

 

[Twilight.falls]

While I enjoy science, I can't say I understand all of it. So I will simply assume this discovery will lead to more science-y advances in the future that will make life better for everyone.

Go science!

 

[Firehound]

cool, so if we can make lead travel nearly the speed of light, theres hope for traversing the universe after all.

and err, well done to them who made 'dark matter'

If we can somehow find a way to use this thing-a-majig as a resource for power, we can officially say that we're living in a new era.

dude, everytime i read your post's i cant take them seriously, i imagine them all in batman's voice.

OH GOD NOW I'M DOING IT! MAKE IT STOP!

 

[archvile93]

Wait gluon is an actual word? It isn't something Valve made up to make a weapon sound deadly and experimental?

OT: Now all we need to do is find a use for this stuff and we'll be set.

 

[Mike the Bard]

now thats cool. but what i find to be even better is the fact that the thing isn't even at full operation capacity. just makes you wonder what kind of crazy nonsense they will come up with next.

Don't forget that the [Insert Holy Book Here] says that God created everything, and therefore anything science discovers is merely rediscovering God's work or a lie.

What better way to make a high-energy weapon sound deadly and experimental than by using the name of a powerful and exotic elementary particle in it?

 

[tthor]

Someone had better make a sugarcubed sized blob of this stuff and just drop it on the floor.

The results would be hilarious.

crack the earth down the middle, lol

 

[tthor]

It's important to note that in order to create a sugar-cube-size volume of quark-gluon plasma, you'd need to already have 40 billion tons of uncompressed matter, or the equivalent energy. Plus, a particle accelerator large enough to smash it all together.

And if you already have that much matter, all the insane gravitational consequences (Sun crashing into Earth, et cetera) would already have happened. Thermodynamics, baby - you can't get something from nothing.

It's like a system's orbit. If a star of mass greater than 20 solar masses was instantly compressed to its schwarzchild radius, the planets orbiting that star wouldn't get sucked into the black hole. The gravitational effects would still be more or less the same at great distances. Of course, the star would really have to go supernova first, either melting or pushing away its orbiting planets, so such a scenario would never actually happen.

god damn thermodynamics have to ruin EVERYTHING >_>

The real issue is: can you disprove any deity (or deities)? Until someone can disprove the existence of any and all gods, I will remain Agnostic. It'd be just as foolhardy to jump on the Atheist wagon and claim there is no deity with no evidence to back you up, right?

You are slightly confused. Atheists dont claim there is no god, they dont believe that there are gods, based on lack of evidence supporting Theistic claims.

Of course you cant disprove existence of deities (like plenty of things I can make up right now), but why would I want to do that ? Im not one making the claim, burden of proof doesn't lie on me.

 

[Dana22]

I'm not one making the claim, burden of proof doesn't lie on me.

You're making the claim there is no god(s) and Theists are making the claim there is. Agnostics are the ones making no claims and also therefore the only ones not needing to supply any evidence to support their position.

Except im not making a claim that there is no god. Im making a claim, that claim that gods exists, is (most likely, of course) false. Thats not the same.

 

[Optimystic]

I don't want them to report anything else out of that facility until they've either doomed us totally or unraveled the secrets of existence. All this foreplay is driving me insane.

"Hey everyone, we just discovered something ELSE that could kill you all, if only we could make enough of it!"
