Sweet Jesus.
CERN is mental.
I'm sure they've considered the consiquences...but still...what if something goes wrong that they never expected?

OH MY FREAKING CRAP! It's time to do everything I planned to do before I die. Now if only I could find a girlfriend.....

I get a strange urge to be inside of that thing when it activates. I must be going insane.

Actually, it's 27 kilometers long, not 27 miles. It's more like 17 miles long, according to the article. [/smart-alec]
Anyway... wow. O_O That is... wow. Scary.

What are they going to fire that thing at?
KiRoy - August 10, 2008 01:25 AM (GMT)
Is it a particle beam? Like Zoids?

You may have heard of it's alternative name, the Atom Smasher. It pretty much explains itself. Basically, they're trying to find smaller particles that make up protons, neutrons, electrons, etc. All of this because of curiosity. Basically it takes two particles, brings them up to mind boggling speed and rams them into each other, but what they want the two particles to do are explode and magically reveal smaller particles that are the building blocks to absolute physics.

Wow. My ears are bleeding. I can't believe that video was real.
