Akaruz Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 This is 4.4 Billion worth of GUESSWORK and idle conjecture to find information that they BELIEVE to be there and that will not benefit anyone in the slightest. A bunch of blind people groping in the dark, black hole that they obsess about. The few that understand the futility and uselessness, ultimately, of what they are doing should be ashamed of themselves for setting up a big TOY, and the unfortunate others who have been sucked into this due to it's indisputable impressiveness can only hope to realise how silly this all is.Scientists have very inaccurate ideas about how the Earth came into being, let alone the universe, and the guesswork gone into declaring the Earth is 14 billion years old needs serious consideration, because that's all it is: a best guess. We dont need guessing scientists. We need scientists to be of benefit and use to mankind, not flit about doing spectacular and impressive "experiments" because they have convinced themselves and a lot of others by the looks of things that they are "essential"! Sorry but all inventions and progress were made by experimenting stuff , Vacines were due to experimenting ( Like what does little bacteria will do etc etc ) People also thought it wasnt possible to go to the moon and blowed several Billions attempting it because They Believed it was possible and they were obessed with it etc etc. Just turn on the button , if the earth gets sucked dont worry you wont have lawyers to sue you or anyone to tell ya , " I Told ya " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted September 2, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 2, 2008 i can tell 75% of those who read this thread now have REM playing in their heads. Well, I do now. *sigh* I don't think there's enough of a danger element, considering all the factors. There may be Black Holes created, but not big enough, and not for long enough. If I'm wrong, however, it's been nice chatting with you guys and gals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourjays Veteran Posted September 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2008 and that will not benefit anyone in the slightest. Why not? Who's to say what may be discovered. I am no expert, but it seems to be that anything new that is discovered could ultimately have a benefit in the future. Not straight away, but with time.

Kaidiir Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 :rolleyes: It's not going to destroy the earth, make a black hole, supernova, hydrogen bomb, blah blah blah etc etc. It will, however, enable particle physicists to conduct experiments that have never before been possible. Human nature is kicking in here; there's a lot of money involved in this project and some doomsday fanatics want a piece of it. Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Gil Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 A CERN spokesman said: ?It will not be producing anything that does not alreadhappen routinely in natureb>.? Routinely? Then what's with the 17 mile long machine? So the whole world gets rapid weight, loss we wake up on a new planet where girls have three boobs, sex is law on all beaches, crime is non existent and we all hhover chairs and computers can run Crysis. Ooooh, hover chairs. Count me in! Anyway, since this is happening on the 10th, are the new iPods going to be announced in time or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2008 Routinely? Then what's with the 17 mile long machine? ... Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

But how many billions of human lives did they put to risk when developing vaccines? Either way, there's no stopping it now. So bring it on!

Oh wait... potentially, every time a new virus comes out of hiding (see Ebola) billions of lives are threatened. we are just lucky that for the most part they develop in unaccessible/sparsely populated areas of the planet.
