This is the last day in our life:(

Scientists: Tomorrow is the soil in Tomorrow it blows - then scientists in Switzerland to try to reproduce the big bang in a jättemaskin. But a large group of other scientists warn that the project will lead to the Earth's destruction. The world's largest machine, The Large Hadron Collider, as it is called - has taken 14 years to build. Tomorrow is switched it on for the first time. The idea is to try to create a "mini-Big Bang" by allowing the protons collide with each other. The researchers hope to solve the riddle behind the Big Bang and perhaps get answers to how the universe emerged. Black holes At the same time, other scientists warn that the project will lead to soil destruction, when the entire planet sucked into the black hole that is thought to cause the machine. A large group of researchers has reported the project to the European Court of Human Rights and to a court in the United States because they fear that new particles, strangelets, and black holes believed to be created in particle accelerator will destroy the earth. Several researchers behind the project, including Nobel prizewinner in physics, Frank Wilczek, has even received death threats. According to the newspaper Telegraph, he and his colleagues daily may receive telephone calls, faxes and e-mail from people who have been "both anxious and aggressive." -- What makes me angry is that people believe in it where nonsense. We are doing this to benefit humanity, not to destroy it, "says James Gillies, public relations officer for the project. A security report has, however, gave the green light for the project and claims that it jättemaskinen simulate is something that happened hundreds of thousands of times before in the wild.

what do u people thinks about that?

than was my last day my birthday ;) ... not bad

this is not a lie:( its the real true:(

I thought they were turning LHC on in october???

So many things to do! :(

i searched for "The Large Hadron Collider" and it says this on all search sites "The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator complex" and i searched some information about it and it says that it was already in use for a long time and it failed.

but where did you read this?

From wiki: The collider is currently undergoing commissioning while being cooled down to its final operating temperature of approximately 1.9 K (−271.25 °C). Initial particle beam injections were successfully carried out on 8-11 August 2008,[2][3] the first attempt to circulate a beam through the entire LHC is scheduled for 10 September 2008,[4] at 7:30 GMT and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on 21 October 2008.

Still over a month before it goes full power

here is a news site that u can read

Hmm that means that if Im in NZ(sun hits here almost first) I Should be able to see 11'th of september before the world blows up, for you guys it will still be the 10th

Long live(by one day) *M*!

but serious is this true? because if it is i stay home and then i call the school and i say fuck off xD

I think worse case it would be another chernobyl

its standing in all news sites:(

Yes, world will end tomorrow now hide in back of a cave and wait for it.

On more serious note, I think the talk about end of the world is completely bullshit. They've proved wrong every theory about it (for example they told why it's not that big of threat if a small black hole was born from the collision)

I'd hate if the world was going to end though since our physics class is planning a trip to CERN next year.

As far was I know they are just gonna switch it on tomorrow, but they'll do the first experiments with it in October.
Or am I wrong?

i thought they were just going to turn it on tomorrow, but the collision isn't scheduled for the next few days/weeks

Zero chance the world will end tomorrow
If I'm wrong feel free to message me on the 11th :P
