But nothing messes up Nature more than when mankind starts buggering around with it...

The doom-merchants love something like this. They won't be complaining though when 20 years later they get cured of cancer because of the medical advances made due to these experiments.

Interesting that the Collider and the Mayan drawing are very similar...
Wasn't the world meant to end in 2000/2001 and countless times before that as well, according to various other peoples "translations" of the Mayan text, though?
I do find it a bit worrying that scientists are trying to recreate the Big Bang, when I've always thought that the very thing that might have caused it in the first place was/will be someone trying to recreate it....
We are thinking along the same lines!!!
In all honesty, I don't think much will happen at all...and we'll be forced to totally rethink the whole universe creation thing, making lots of people who actually believe in God very happy...
Just remember to drink lots of larger, eat loads of peanuts and don't forget your towel.....
In the TV version of Hitchhikers, doesn't Ford order eight (maybe six) pints of lager and a lot of packets of nuts, then he gives the barman a fiver and says "keep the change" and the barman looks delighted. And that was about 1979/80. What would the same order cost now?

In modern terms, that would be about £30 (if we use average earnings as an indicator, I got that figure via a website which calculates relative values). The average pint (outside of London) now costs between £2.60 and £3.00; let's assume that it's around £2.60 since Arthur lived in the country. So that's 6x2.6= £15.60 plus a few packs of peanuts (say five) = £20.60. So there'd be quite a lot of change.

I'm quite looking forward to it. We won't notice anything but the data collected will continue to impact on the world for the next 30 years but only in a good way.
Guy reporting said the beam was hitting the screen "almost where it was expected"
So I guess the world almost ended but they didn't quite get it right.
BTW. This is just switch on. Really we have to wait until they get both beams going and colliding.
That would be two beams of subatomic particles both travelling at near light speed. In opposite directions. Colliding. That makes the net effect of the collision nearly twice light speed. That's gotta hurt those little biddy bits of stuff.

Yeah ... finally a mirror that shows you not only your face but also the back of your head ... at the same time!!!

Just enough time for it to coincide with there 2012 end of the world theory.
i don't believe it will end then. well unless i get run over by a bus that day, then it pretty much is over for me.

I've just bid and I think it will look quite nice on my mantlepiece!
i think you excede their maximum age limit....
does the wage of a (insert humilating job here) pay that much.....
i give advice out to the elderly about keeping warm during the winter...
Why's that humiliating. Do you have to recommend wanking?
Actually, isn't there a Mile's Mad Mission screen in there somewhere...?
yeah, but i do my other jobs then, which is advising the elderly how to cope with hay fever, the heat, and dangerous slippery leafs.
in 30 years time, i'd be requiring it myself. :)
You are never too young to make out.
