Evolutionists Prepare To Destroy Universe

[busterdog]

See, I told you so.

The builders of the world's biggest particle collider are being sued in federal court over fears that the experiment might create globe-gobbling black holes or never-before-seen strains of matter that would destroy the planet.
Representatives at Fermilab in Illinois and at Europe's CERN laboratory, two of the defendants in the case, say there's no chance that the Large Hadron Collider would cause such cosmic catastrophes. Nevertheless, they're bracing to defend themselves in the courtroom as well as the court of public opinion.
The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, is due for startup later this year at CERN's headquarters on the French-Swiss border. It's expected to tackle some of the deepest questions in science: Is the foundation of modern physics right or wrong? What existed during the very first moment of the universe's existence? Why do some particles have mass while others don't? What is the nature of dark matter? Are there extra dimensions of space out there that we haven't yet detected?
Some folks outside the scientific mainstream have asked darker questions as well: Could the collider create mini-black holes that last long enough and get big enough to turn into a matter-sucking maelstrom? Could exotic particles known as magnetic monopoles throw atomic nuclei out of whack? Could quarks recombine into "strangelets" that would turn the whole Earth into one big lump of exotic matter?
Former nuclear safety officer Walter Wagner has been raising such questions for years - first about an earlier-generation "big bang machine" known as the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, and more recently about the LHC.
Last Friday, Wagner and another critic of the LHC's safety measures, Luis Sancho, filed a lawsuit in Hawaii's U.S. District Court. The suit calls on the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab, the National Science Foundation and CERN to ease up on their LHC preparations for several months while the collider's safety was reassessed.
"We're going to need a minimum of four months to review whatever they're putting out," Wagner told me on Monday. The suit seeks a temporary restraining order that would put the LHC on hold, pending the release and review of an updated CERN safety assessment. It also calls on the U.S. government to do a full environmental review addressing the LHC project, including the debate over the doomsday scenario.
On Monday, District Judge Helen Gillmor assigned the case to a magistrate judge, Kevin S.C. Chang, for an initial conference on June 16. Wagner said he planned to ask for a more immediate hearing on the request for a restraining order - that is, once he has served the federal government with the court papers.

Evolutionists? Shouldn't they employ physicists?

And you're a lawyer BD, what jurisdiction does a US Federal Court have in Geneva

Cool, I didn't think we had enough power to destroy the Universe

The fabric of time if breaking down already. What will happen when they actually fire that baby up?

I guess the idea would be that if a black hole ate half of Europe, it would be heckfire for your golf game in the states. (However, with an overall reduction in mass of the Earth, you should get more distance off the tee, shouldn't you?)

So, as a threat to planetary instability, there would be jurisdiction in the States to the extent that you would collect damages here against the holdings of the European tortfeasors. I have no idea how a US Court issues an injunction against a European operation, unless it has some sort of US situs.

I have little idea what this is about. I thought it was funny. (But as you mother says, its all good fun until someone loses an eye.)

The decay of physical constants is exacerbated. Pamela Anderson can defy gravity without surgery. And Setterfield gets the Nobel Prize.

You are post number one now. You are already breaking down the fabric of reality.

Unless this is just one of those programming errors in the Matrix?

Goes & Kicks my TARDIS

 

[Assyrian]

You got a paradox machine with that?

Always wanted one of those. ...well do now.

Naa it takes much more work than that to make a TARDIS a Paradox machine

just ask the Master

 

[Assyrian]

Nah just go back to Gallifrey when it was being built and change the original specs.

Ya don't build a TARDIS, you Grow one

 

[Assyrian]

And the greatest genetic engineers in the history of the universe couldn't grow a Tradis with a paradox machine function

Biologists doing physics experiments? That's gotta be bad.

 

[Assyrian]

It starts off simply, they ask to use the synchrotron for protein crystallography, before long you have Evolutionists running CERN, then, well you know what happened Gallifrey.

Anyone who knows anything about physics knows that this machine is safe.

The people saying it's dangerous are the same people saying RHIC and Tevatron were going to blow up the world (but obviously 10 years later, they haven't, because we're still here). RHIC and Tevatron are smaller versions the project mentioned above.

I've spoken with two of the people mentioned in the article and even they admit the risk is extremely small.

This thing is 100% safe.

They had to import biologists to do the physics experiments because all of the real physicists have left to do biology.

This.....is such a nerdy thread.
