Big Experiment Underway - Stage 1 Successful

Antimatter (dark matter - the stuff they'll create in this experiment) is extremely powerful stuff, and a tiny blob of it could power London for a couple of weeks.

BUT it's also extremely dangerous. If antimatter ever comes into contact with matter, then a reaction occurs. A huge explosion, that is.

By the way, i should mention that everything on Earth is made of matter, including air. Everything. So, good luck with that.

So if this thing does create a black hole could we not just throw all our rubbish in there?

Nah, the only thing it really sucks up is fried chicken.

Nah, we'd probably get a note from someone on the other side telling us to knock it off. Havn't you ever seen that Halloween Simpsons special? Although that was a Vortex still probably same thing would happen.

If we threw in a bomb first thatd stop them sending us any notes. It'd be a great way for it to pay for itself, charging for taking dangerous chemical waste from all sorts of corrupt goverments and getting rid of it no questions asked.

I'm sorry but that just sounds horrible, I mean I'm sure if they had no choice they'd take it, but surely under no circumstances would anyone ever even consider taking something like this.

I would. No fear of starvation? Health being maintained by invisible robots? Possible elongation of life as a result?

Who wouldn't want those benefits?

I wouldn't, I think I'm perfectly capable of maintaining my own health without being shot up with millions of tiny robots.

Also

Starvin' Marvin

I IRL

I had this voice in my head saying that:

I loled. Then realised I was thinking of the wrong Marvin.

this project plan has existed for absolutely ages now, and almost all (i don't know any) respected scientists that have actually done something for science are pro this experiment, only hippies and that professor (who the sun obviously made up) disagree. Even i know, from gaining the knowledge of the basics of a black hole, that what CERN (who DO know what there doing) said, about the black holes disappearing as soon as they are made, is completely correct.

this project will either fail, and not harm anything or anyone, except the scientists optimism and the governments pockets who funded the project. Or, the project will be successfull and will be an absolutle breakthrough for science, and our knowledge and understanding of the universe. If all goes well, there will be evidence of string theory, more dimensions, and that part of an atom they wrote about.

if you haven't noticed by now, im all with the experiment :lol:

Well that bit is wrong for a start.

I was guessing that part. But i thought they were making antimatter, and since everyone here was mentioning dark matter, i put 2 and 2 together. Obviously i got 5.

I'm still right about the rest, and i have no idea what that thing above this post is meant to mean. Ah well.

Ooops

. I thought everyone on here was a Radiohead fan. The picture is Thom Yorke, their lead singer; one of their more well-known songs is called '2 + 2 = 5'.

Yup i hear you on that one Fry, maybe a shot gun incase it goes REALLY tits up.

you can watch it all live from here

Remember these words when the Earth is crushed into the size of a pea :lol:

Well, theoretically. Anti-matter is instantly destroyed as soon as it is created, in the same reaction that produced it (matter and anti-matter is created simultaneously in some events); so nothing as large as an entire anti-matter atom has been observed. So there's no chance of getting enough anti-matter to produce any sort of human scale explosion.

Dark matter is the term used as a possible explanation for the calculated mass in the universe and the observed mass having a 96% discrepancy (although dark energy has a larger role in this explanation than dark matter).

The Sun has been listening to science fiction writers, methinks. 'Boffins'. Bah.

And that, my friends, is the secret to Warp propulsion.

If by some freak miscalculation it ends up trying to consume the Earth, more likely the gravitational pull of the black hole would tear the planet and the moon apart while consuming them instead if gobbling them up all at once or something.

A bit like that.

Yeah, but I enjoyed the special effects and the time travelling.

What is it with Jeremy Irons and mediocre movies?
