Re: This is your place in the universe
This gif should animate actually. I am not savvy. I don't know how to make it go.

Re: This is your place in the universe
Try downloading it. It's a decent pic and all, but the animation is what's truly awesome.

Re: This is your place in the universe
Did you download the Pic then upload to ServImg? cause I think sometimes if you download it it only downloads one of the gif files of the animation (i'm not sure). Try, when you add the image, putting the link to the animation in. That might work.

The copy I have on my computer animates.

edit: I think I see the problem. Hang on.
edit2: There we go. Servimage automatically converts to jpeg. I've hosted the gif on imageshack now.

I showed it to Jess, she had to ask "are those all real?" because it just gets outrageous.

Re: This is your place in the universe
That thing is funky Andy. I liked this part:
"If all goes right, matter will be transformed by the violent collisions into wads of energy, which will in turn condense back into various intriguing types of particles, some of them never seen before."
Yeah, that or kill everything on Earth.... well, at least France

Yeah, win-win situation. Either they make a whole bunch of super-discoveries, or they destroy France. 5 billion dollars well spent.

Re: This is your place in the universe
What? Really? I had heard that some scientists had been speculating that the worst case scenario could be that they create microscopic black-holes that could, in theory, destroy a lot of shit e.g. the earth, or possibly universe. But that was pretty unlikely. Is that what they are talking about? Can you send me a link or something?

Re: This is your place in the universe
Read it in the Herald (or whatever Newcastle paper thing we had at work).
It was hidden amongst the 'world' section.
I think the guys trying to stop it are from Hawaii.
Happy searching.

Re: This is your place in the universe
The article also mentioned that the USA had planned on building one 54km long but it was canned by Congress after the hole was dug and $2 billion thrown into it.

Re: This is your place in the universe
Ah, found it. Thanks, Trev. Yeah it looks like some bunch of clowns filed a suit that would mean that the CERN team would have to wait several more months (~4 I think) before they could start the thing running. Though it's possible that the suit will just get thrown out.

There was another site discussing it; the best parts were some of the comments:

So what if it creates microscopic black holes? They'd dissipate in a fraction of a second.

What happens if an escaping convict accidentally wanders into the collider, gains super powers, and tries to take over the world?

Obviously one of the scientists will have wandered into the collider as well. Although his or her superpowers will not be as powerful/deadly/cool as the convict's, their determination, faith in humankind, and good heart will allow them to narrowly win in the end, no matter how badly the odds look to be stacked against them.
They will still have a hard time getting laid, though.

I guess it's just the kid in me, but now I want it turned on even more just to see what will really happen.
Maybe they should schedual the first start for one of the predicted end dates ala the Mayans and Egyptans. The Hadron collider builders should also play "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by REM the day it starts.

Re: This is your place in the universe
You know if they did schedule it for one of those Mayan end-of-the-world days and something went wrong then people'd be all "This is what they were predicting anyway! You thought you were kidding but you played into the hands of fate!"
Wankers.
Wankers.
