WOO HOO! Bring on the black holes! lol

Joking aside I am glad things are sounding good for LHC. I really hope they find the "god" particle and perhaps answer some questions some of us would like to have.

I hope they find dark matter.

God's particle / Higgs particle will not be found as it is not there at all !

We may get answers of the questions that where all the matters came from or how matters created. And finally how we r created, And how God is performing His jobs.

How God is performing His jobs??
Its easy...check the news...you can see that he is raising taxes, burying us under 11 Trillion in debt and alienating us from every country in the world.
oh wait...you werent talking about THAT savior??

I wonder if there is a Chuck Norris particle...

seriously.. stop dropping comments about some non-existent waste of time in a serious article meant for the adults who have all outgrown their imaginarly friends.
That said, i was getting scared this might get shut down for good by all the fail companies paranoid of unrealistic "possiblities" while it was under repairs

Hey Giggity why don't you take it on over to where everyone hates science as much as you and yours? On an ON TOPIC note can't wait to see what the LHC can teach us about gravity and the universe in general. Also relieved the Luddites did not kill it.

@Jimbo23...pretty funny, especially since I didnt make any negative comment about the LHC.
I, for one, am very interested in this...hence why I even read the article.
Some people need to take things with a grain of sand and get their panties out of a bunch.

I think will all is said and done the answer will be 42.

hehehe you just got pwned jimbo. ROFL Jimbo yo i think that the LHC is going to piss off god he's probably going to kill us or what if something happens like what happened in half life??? OMFG THAT WOULD SUCK SO MUCH WE HAVE TO ABORT!!! but then again i can be gordon freeman and save the entire world from alien scum Mwhahahah mwahahaha mwhaha. Yes i will do this.

I am considering if we have even been told the REAL reason for the *prolonged* shutdown

lhc really stands for little hairless chihuahua, doesnt it? naw for real if this behemoth decides to create a gang of tiny black holes, i wonder how quickly they will grow, mature, and begin to act like my ex, swallowing up my life,money,houssehold items, etc.? what is the expansion rate of a black hole of this size? wait nobody knows...

We don't have to worry about black holes. If hawkings theories are to be correct. Then the black holes will evaporate before they can do anything.

Plus, if the LHC manages to make a black hole that eats us. I will want to know why one hasn't occurred naturally already.

i do believe these scientists have taken this lhc thing waaay to far... but i can't help but be interested. they are tempting God... just like the tower of Babel...(oh lets build a tower to heaven..) and these people trying to play god and recreate what He did... or try to disprove Him either way it's a slap in His face... no good can come from this... oh the final days are here! God Bless you all and keep your eye on the sky!

oh and Giggity... i agree with you ... and i giggled a little. im pretty intrigued by the whole "Messiah Complex" some "leaders" have.

yes let the coliding begin, hopefuly they find Jesus when they smash 2 particles together

We will have to wait for the privileged minds who can interpret the data with some level of certainty to tell the press in an extremely simplified manner what they found, and what it means. The press will then tell us, and by then, the message might be lost in translation. While I wait for the practical applications of the science, I'll follow the developments with curiosity; sort of the way a baby watches television.

LOL, i like how some of these people think the god particle is a particle that proves god exists. Look it up, it makes much more sense than that.

Also, if God didn't get mad us for flying into where everyone thought heaven was (space) then why would this piss him off?

It will be impossible for the LHC to either prove or disprove God, and science has yet to slap God in the face - unless you believe in the Bible verbatim, then your God stopped existing back when they proved how old the earth is and evolution.

Please take your superstitious religoius hoohah elsewhere. The adults are talking now.

The final word

So, at last we will actually start to get the Science going on this thing. Hopefully that will silence the informable. Nothing can help the true believers in bullshit. The LHC is a tool for smashing together particles so that we can better understand reality, it is a tool for measuring billions of bits of information about matter and energy in a fraction of a second. This kind of experiment happens all the time in nature, it's just not as controlled and recordable. It might just be happening on your elbow as you read this! Isn't that amazing! Or we can just shut everything down, turn off the lights, and sit in our caves waiting for our lives to end so that we can be in a better place than we've allowed this one to become. No Thanks.

@atergo: There IS a Chuck Norris particle, and it has a SPIN-kick you wouldn't believe!

Have they found a Gravatron or a String yet??? GOOD LUCK

To me its not a slap in the face of God or any other Diety to test the boundaries of reality....it's the human condition called sentient life. If anything its gonna make the God(s) make reality that much more clearly defined for us to understand & just maybe they'll add on some more so we won't get to know everything yet. Come on, humans started off thinking that the Earth was flat, than round but at the center of everything, & so on and so forth till we get to nowadays. If we never stop trying to understand how everything works, we might just get to see the fabric of reality or another reality....just to find out we've been using IT (whatever IT is) all along in some unknown way in our own universe & we are all tied together in some cosmic way.

Large Hadron Collider ... Back in 1945 there was concern that when they tested the first Atomic Bomb it would ignite the atmosphere. This did not happen. Today there is concernt hat the large hadron Collider will create mini-Black Holes that will grow and eat the Earth. This is unlikely, but, on the off chance it occurs the question will be moot, we'll be dead before we know it anyway. Also, the LHC will likely not uncover the Higgs Boson or God particle, mainly because it is a mathematical construct that is useful only in some esoteric realms of Cosmology. There is no rational requirement for such a Particle to exist. I say let the LHC get turned on and lets find out if any of us is right, or if, as is the likeliest scenario, we are all wrong.

Please, when you comment, will you let us know if you're a mathematician, physicist, or just some douche pretending to understand all this while making some second grade level spelling mistakes?
I like the Chuck Norris conglomerate. At least they're honest.

It will not upset the gods for science to research the universe. Yet knowledge does not instantly bring understanding and its inevitable wisdom. Is it really important for humanity to understand the fine print now, when so many struggle with the bold?

God made us this way to be brilliant, funny, curious and yes even evil. To reveal Himself to us, we must, as a people, experience all of it so that those that are His will choose Him over self and enjoy his creation and his Kingdom forever. Those who choose self will disappear even as they go about their lives. God is marvelous and has given us hope and future. Go for it with the LHC and more marvelous things will be revealed. It won't change God nor even your own salvation but it may bring us a greater and better understanding of this corporial universe. Be happy we can all interact like this laughing and taunting each other. Life is what you make of it. We are all but a morning's mist. LHC is cool and serious and one of mankind's amazing attempts to understand. I dig and want to know more but it doesn't change who I am or even affect how I care about each one of you. I say, play nice in God's sandbox or he'll kick you out. :-)

Is it goin to reset everything.The new Universe is goin to be created by destroying the existing ones.May be the extraterrestrial beings might have interrupted during the experiment by being invisible.If the exp is successful then its the begining of the new universe but there will be no proof left.

Which commandment said "Thou Shalt not build a large hadron collider" anyway? As was stated earlier this collider doesn't do anything that doesn't happen billions of times a second on our planet anyway. It simply happens in more a more controlled environment where it can be observed. If it does happen to create a mini hole, it simply proves that mini holes are created and evaporate all around us all the time. (Physical Chemistry Bachelor's Degree)

God bless the Chuck Norris particle!!!

i just find the entire process exciting and exhilarating beyond imagination. i really believe they will find "something" that will alter our thoughts to the extreme. where are those other dimensions?? OMG - i really hope they find something "or other".
