The irony is that that nation that inherited the scientfic fruits of the enlightenment and used those to win WWII and build a scientificly based civilization of unequalled technical pre-eminence thereafter decided to turn it's back on basic research and is now playing second fiddle to the EU therein.

Yeah because the poor SOB that got stuck making them was like, thats 3k years in the future, I'm going fishing. My lazy kids can keep going. Than the kid runs off with some girl an it never gets finished.:D

Stop eating lightning bugs.

One of the men that is outspoken against it. Otto Rössler
based his warnings on an obsolete proposition made by Max Abraham in 1912 surrounding Albert Einstein's theory of relativity as well as his own, yet theoretically rejected theorem and its implications. He also questioned the existence of the Hawking radiation which in theory should lead to the decay of micro black holes.

Apart from the refutation of his theory, which he challenged others to debate, his public step up and call for an LHC Safety Conference started a dicussion about the ethical limits of modern experimental physics in mainstream media all across Europe
Rössler has authored around 300 scientific papers in fields as wide-ranging as biogenesis, the origin of language, differentiable automata, chaotic attractors, endophysics, micro relativity, artificial universes, the hypertext encyclopedia, and world-changing technology.


Even if Otto is wrong and all of this is nonsense it is a good reason to seek to limit what one group can test on the earth without some form of waiting period and /or mutual consent .

Not irony. Though definitely unfortunate.

this is all just bogus stuff

Accelerate the particles.. to 88 MPH! It's not a doomsday device, it's a time machine! :)

From the little I have heard about the whole Mayan 2012 thing, it marks the end of some cycle in time, where we start over on some other cycle. I believe it is also the point at which we move from Pieces to Aquarius...Where the Jesus fish change over to the water bearer blah blah blah
Don't get me started on religion and astrology. Anyway, some speculate that in 2012 the world will become at peace with itself from there on out. The problem, of course, is that there will be something horrible happen before that and whoever survives will then be at peace! Ha!
SO, cynical me thinks that if something actually does happen in 2012, it will be created by some wacko government somewhere that is merely playing along with everyone's fears.

Peter, I never would have dreamed you'd be flippant about this.

Who knows? Perhaps some things are best left alone. A tiny black hole? Do black holes just give up on their own? Or do they just keep on sucking up matter?

Either way, we wont find out from CERN. This whole nonsensical end of the world stuff already happened a couple of years ago when some experiments were conducted here in the USA.

- Peter.

Waiting period? Mutual consent? This isn't a handgun purchase or weired sex activity here. This is basic science. Who the hell is qualified to "mutually consent" to what humans can or cannot learn about the universe?

- Peter.

I just hope they tell me if they F up, so I can crawl into a bottle and die happy!:D

Basic science doesn't involve tampering with the earth with a theory that may destroy it.Although destroying the earth will cause us humans to learn a lot it is still something that should be open for debate before some goofball gives it a shot. There at least should have been some time to call James Bond to put this guy in his place.:D


Or maybe something like a LHC Safety Conference that Otto Rössler had tried to bring about as mentioned in post #1

Strange, fearing the unknown.
