LHC activation petition

[TemperateSeaIsland]

Typically such momentous scientific achievements are inaugurated with profound words, such as Neil Armstrong's "One small step for man, one giant leap for all mankind", or when Oppenheimer famously quoted from the Bhagavad Gita upon the first test of a nuclear weapon. No doubt the Directorate of CERN will have prepared something similar to match this historic event.

However, we the undersigned feel something simple will suffice. Upon activating the LHC for the test, we advocate the opening words be "Commence Primary Ignition!", a call back to the 1977 movie "Star Wars" when the villains destroyed the planet Alderaan with their Death Star.

I sooo want them to say this.

When I worked at Fermilab, I got a look at the Tevatron control room. There are automated spoken announcements every time a bunch of protons / antiprotons are injected. The tone that preceded every one of these announcements was the same as the computer chime from Star Trek: The Next Generation I really hope it was on purpose.

Damn, I love particle physics

And signed. Come on physicists, we all know you have a sense of humor. And don't even try to deny being geeks.

Edit: Strange how some of the signers say things like "This project must be stopped by any means neccessary!" CERN is going to go through with it. We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

I'm not going to sign that. If they are going to say anything, it should be

'Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow'

Come on guys, whatever happened to good ol'fashioned evil maniacal laughter?

We're saving that for the first human clone, along with shrieking "It's alive!"

Even if high voltage arcs aren't required for the experiment, can we still have some kind of Tesla coil active in the background for added effect?

I sure hope so.

They should also do it at night and get all of Europe to sequentially switch all the lights off to give a power drain from the grid effect.

Forward geeks! *facebook-posts link*

Man, I really wanna sign this, but I think it's just gonna get ignored because of all the scaredy-cat signatures.

Well, according to The Times, the words before startup were "Let's get started everybody."

I believe I speak for all of us when I say LAME

Man! that is lame. That's what my boss says to get us started in meetings (checks over shoulder to see if boss is there).

Listening to the radio (radio 2, UK) this morning, the DJ recounted a story about how nutters had been sending death threats to scientists, stating that they would kill them if they fired up the LHC and destroyed the world!!!!!!!!!

Now there’s logic for you

Isn't firing up a doomsday machine under a death threat practically self defence at that point?

I forgot about that thing...think I mentioned it on my junior year presentation on nuclear fusion....I seriously want to have a go of that thing

Watching it on the news, they went with the maniacal laughter. Wonderful.
