Definitely look promising, We might be able to discover new dimensions with this, Which would be good for String Theorist, and prove that Dark Matter exists, and find new particles and all that good stuff. I figure science and tech geeks might like this PS Did I mention that some people think It will destroy Earth? Some people believe that it might cause micro black holes, Or any other of a various of "cataclysmic events". There something like 1 and 50 million chance it will happen |

I figure science and tech geeks might like this Thanks for the article ! i've been following the development of that for years! There are a lot of high risk associated with that kind of experiment though if your interested read into the possibility of generating black holes, stranglets and all that fun stuff -------------------- The Gear Box:

Supersymmetric particles and Higgs Bosons - they would be the biggest finds!
I'm not a believer in String Theory - I think it is turning out to be a dead end due to its lack of background independance and lately its increasing reliance on the weak Anthropic Principle - time to let some fresh ideas get funded! As for mini black holes - someone just proved they won't be a problem ... that will be comforting when Earth and the whole Solar System is swallowed by a new black hole! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

And string theory needs a minimum of 10 dimensions to actually be proven, So far we're still at 3

Did you know that two physicists from CERN, where the super collider resides, invented the worldwide web?

Cool I can't wait. Thank god for the people who helped to build the CERN particle accelerator.

When the first Atomic Bomb was being developed, the scientists are got scared because there was a theoretical probability of setting off a chain reaction in the atmosphere. They determined that it was not possible, after some calculations, and went ahead. ... And Bob Oppenheimer said, 'I have become Death, destroyer of worlds' (quoting from the Bhagavad Gita) when he witnessed the destructive power of the A bomb. I think he later also went on to say that he wished he had never been involved in the A bomb project but, rather like Pandora's Box, too late. As a side issue, the philosopher Edith Wyschogrod (Spirit in Ashes) makes the comment that perhaps THE discerning feature of the 20th C was our ability to kill on a massive scale at inter-continental distance in absentia. Back on topic - years ago I used to work down the road from Daresbury Cyclotron - serendipitously my work was on electron beam guns and atom ablation so I got to go to Daresbury a few times - very interesting place.

Did you know that two physicists from CERN, where the super collider resides, invented the worldwide web? Sir Tim Berners-Lee is generally credited with inventing the web. He did it while using a Next box. As you may know, Apple bought Next and it became OSX. Berners-Lee was knighted as a result, hence the "Sir." -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger.. I'm older now but still I hunger For some understanding.

With 11 dimensions, we have a single M-theory which seems to explain origin of the universe. Well, to be precise, with M-theory you get a mathematical construct that if primed with the correct input variables could in theory explain our particular universe. Problem is, it also explains 10 to the power of 500 other universes and makes absolutely no prediction why any one in particular should be preferred over any other, or indeed why we have the one that we do. In fact, M-theory is so complicated, that we currently only have rough approximations to its real equations based on peterbation theory. Further more, M-theory makes no predictions about where space-time comes from - it assumes it exists and builds upon it, it therefore is not background independant - this means that even if it does work out, there is another level behind it to explain where space-time actually comes from. M-theory lacks predictive power at the moment, so for me it fails as a valid theory of everything. I am further concerned that in an attempt to keep it valid, its proponents have invoked the Weak anthropic principle and said that "Since a universe with these properties is conducive to life, it should be no surprise that we are alive and living in it" - whilst seductive, this is no basis for a predictive theory. M-theory may turn out to be a valid model of the universe, especially if we can get hold of its precise structure - there may be some twist just around the corner that makes it all make sense, however, I think that the lack of predictive power and the invocation of the anthropic principle may be signs of a theory in trouble. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
