Anyway, collisions.............

i see the art of sarcasm is not lost on you lol

It will further knowledge. And by knowledge, I mean reveal the limitations of various theories, thus providing new ones.

Nothing else.

[worm]

Yes you said it would further knowledge. You also qualified it and said it would provide new theories. I say it will provide more than just theories

[llcoolphil]

Are you suggesting that new things may come into being as a result of these new theories? Because I didn't exclude these things, as they are a product of knowledge and theory. But in terms of the collider, the knowledge and theory will be all that is affected directly.

Semantics perhaps. Often is with me and thee.

I thought it was a particulatly obtuse way of saying something to someone who was genuinely seeking information they could understand and the use of 'that's all' on the end would, I felt , have been entirely confusing for them. Thats all

And saying bollocks to me compensates for that?

Okay. It's just how I see it.

[Atlanteanlost]

haha.. you seem to collide with everything and everyone you come across.. I wonder what would happen if they put a worm inside and spun him round at the speed of light.. what strange and wonderful things would be created

[Katster]

Ok, so I'm not really understanding why this experiment was done? What do the scientists hope to achieve?

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Well were still here...

we won't know if the world is going to end for another 4 years - I would say that it probably is - meh!

december 21st 2012 - thats what the mayans predicted as the end of the world / time cycle / whatever. something to do with the suns position in our galaxy on that date

[Radar]

Yep they did... and that is just over 4 years down the line.........

I think 32 is a good age...

Means the spending on the Olympics is a bit of a waste mind...

at least we won't have to watch the car crash it will inevitably be

PMSL Julius - thats a good one!
