Particle accelerators worked way back in the 30s also, why not now? Important? For what?

Yes, that's a big step forward, they are working on it since years
 But I'm a bit worried about consequences of a failure...they talked about a little black hole  If I'm not wrong they are going to try the Big Bang experiment near 21st of October.

The particle accelerators of the 30's? lol, that's like saying a race car made in the 30's would compete w/ a modern day F-1 racer. This is the largest machine ever built by mankind. Electromagnets 7 stories tall. 27 miles of tunnels. Huge mainframes to control it all. Equipment placed within a precision of 10 nanometers or less. The technology of the 30's cannot compare to such an advanced piece of machinery.
And yes, today was just a test run - only one direction. but it worked flawlessly, and obviously that's a great start. The black hole stuff is absurd - even the man who came up w/ the idea says the odds are 1 in 50,000,000,000 and the even he's not losing any sleep over it. 'Sides, even if it does happen, Hawking's theories on black hole decay say that micro black holes would decay withing microseconds, leaving no time for anything "bad" to happen. @Lozzenger2 i laughed my ass off at the gordon freeman comment! :laugh: -uIX |

However, I think that they will learn many other useful things! Quote:

I feel some pervert thoughts when someone as _r.u.s.s. wants to play with lego puppets that has every part of human body .... :nuts:
