Have you ever read the Sci-Fi book "Cosm"?

Be careful for what you wish for!

;) :D

I haven't, but on another note some of my lecturers get incredibly angry about the media claiming that the LHC is going to "destroy the world"; pretty funny really :D

It did turn out though that all the so called "scientific evidence" given in those media stories years ago came from a bloody botanist - that was good enough for the media though to hop onto the scare train. Bloody media.

In all seriousness.

I do not believe that the LHC will destroy/create/whatever other/our universes.

But at the same time.

It "will" be creating "Unusual" environments.

The only places in the known universe hotter than the LHC will be the insides of very large supernovae/gamma ray burster's/collapsing black holes!

However!

There are still processes out there somewhere that are capable of producing the OMG particle (A cosmic ray Proton with the energy of a rifle bullet! And likely much more besides! :eek:)

If those processes haven't destroyed the universe then there is absolutely nothing we can do that has any risk of doing so. :p
 
Well, interestingly, the LHC does in fact create black holes during collisions - however they are microscopic and "evaporate" due to Hawking radiation within nanoseconds. So I guess there is some truth to the LHC creating black holes, but they pose no risk of destroying Earth any time soon (or, well, at all) ;)
 
That is amazing. Especially if you zoom in to a rather blank looking area and navigate for a while. When you zoom out again you'll have a slightly better idea of the scale.

Why would God create so many stars when ours is the only important one?

God is omnipotent so he already knew the cluster**** of violence that his religion would create, so he made sure only one star had to put up with it.

He also knew that we would still be stupid enough to believe in it 2000 years later, so the chances of any of us getting off this rock before we kill ourselves is pretty remote.

Meanwhile all the little green men on Mars can live in peace, while they watch Bearded Earth Retards on the ET equivelent of the C4 Big Brother programme.


Now that we have big telescopes, why can't we see UFO's flying about?
 
I'd pack this in the box named 'Evidence God Doesn't Exist', yet somehow I think it still wouldn't convince the girlfriend.

Hey...I guess we all have dreams to hold on to... My flatmate's a Hull fan...you never know..

It's quite obvious really if you think about. God had the foresight to create all the stars so the wise men could find their way to see the little baby jesus. If there wasn't all the usual ones, that they had grown accustomed to over the few thousand years since the universe had been created, how would they have recognised a special new one to guide their path to Bethlehem?
 
Amazing when you think it's part of a galaxy, of which there are many....nested within a universe, of which are many

what I'd love to know, is what is outside the universe? and what is outside that!
