Are you completely sure?

Or was it?

*trips balls at possibility of entirely universe existing inside an experimental particle collision*

The operative word in russ' post would be "simulate", by the way.


As for 1930s particle accelerators vs. 2000s particle impactors, the difference is even more huge than any metaphor you can come up with, they're studying different particles (in this case, hadrons, as opposed to H+ ions or protons as with earlier experiments), doing different things with them and measuring different outputs. They didn't decide to make the LHC 27km in circumference instead of 9 inches (size of first accelerator) just for fun.

There are scientific theories and then there are scientific facts.

Theory of relativity is also (still) just a theory. many research is based on it though.

Cool, I have to make more bored comments - nice result. I like everyday cinema - just watching and laughing, and only giving little impetuses every now and then.

hm. when they start the LHC proper, they'd better be careful:

we all know what happened the last time...

Well, I can simulate to study human anatomy sectioning a Lego puppet but that will not be so useful for the puorpose...
However, I think that they will learn many other useful things!

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:
