As I understand this thing should be up and running by today. |

1) this isn't the COR.
2) repost
3) offer an opinion, dont just cut and paste nonsense. |

1) Intelligent thread is intelligent.
2) This is intelligent thread.
3) Therefore, it belongs to the CORe.

That means the collider has been activated and set up some sort of time anomaly.
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE. |

"Most people are aware of the recent articles contending that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN might destroy the world. While most scientists have no such concerns, a recent preprint released to arxiv systematically dismantles the notion. The gist of the argument is this: Everything that will be created at the LHC is already being created by cosmic rays. If a black hole created by the LHC is interactive enough to destroy the world within the lifetime of the sun, similar black holes are already being created by cosmic rays. Such black holes would be stopped by dense cosmic objects (neutron stars and white dwarfs). A black hole stopped in one of these objects would eventually absorb it. We see sufficiently old neutron stars in the sky, thus any black hole that could be created at the LHC, even if it is stable, would have no effect on the earth on any meaningful timescale." |
