- kelsosmythe, on 09/12/2008, -10/+560So its like... a series of tubes?
- estate, on 09/12/2008, -3/+343Old school Digg article. Thankyou for submitting something very interesting about a great piece of technology. This is why I read Digg.
Cheers. - inactive, on 09/12/2008, -5/+254Excellent video. Thanks for sharing it. It made me truely visualize and understand, how awesome this experiment was
- perre, on 09/11/2008, -27/+271When the protons are ready to collide, God's hand reaches down and gently squeezes them together, creating a mini universe. Within a week, men will already have fastened custom leather saddles to the backs of every imaginable variety of dinosaur.
- Exekutor, on 09/12/2008, -10/+177By "hand" he means "noodly appendage."
- active1x0, on 09/12/2008, -6/+123Well it's certainly not a big truck.
- borez, on 09/12/2008, -1/+88Thanks for that because, to be honest, I had absolutely no ***** idea what the LHC actually did.
- frositay, on 09/12/2008, -6/+89Webcam to watch hadron collider live:
http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html - ssaxusggid, on 09/12/2008, -2/+56I kept waiting for the narrator to try and sell me a Dyson.
- RiouG, on 09/12/2008, -11/+61I found it easiest to understand watching this video:

And it's fun too :) - TRJW, on 09/12/2008, -2/+48This is ATLAS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFcIoW9THCc
But there are 6 in total. In the description is a lot of information. - rharris, on 09/12/2008, -4/+49Anyone have a link to a video like this that explains more about how the detectors work?
// No rickrolls, please - Protuhj, on 09/12/2008, -0/+401.21 gigawatts?
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -0/+39how awesome this experiment *is* or even *will be*, but not *was*
- Iwantawii, on 09/12/2008, -0/+39I'd say at least over 9000
- JoeDiggsIt, on 09/12/2008, -3/+41RAmen.
- KaiUno, on 09/12/2008, -0/+38... is going to be!
- snotrokit, on 09/12/2008, -4/+38RAmen
- Mr.Gone, on 09/12/2008, -2/+32Okay man it's like this. You see light right? And you can see yourself with a mirror right? Well the light hits you and little peices come off and then bounce off the mirror back into your eyes. So you are kind of traveling at the speed of light all the time. Well, little bits of you and when... Oh my God, IHOP is still open. You want pancakes? I'm getting pancakes. Can I have a ride to IHOP to get pancakes?
- secondwheel2, on 09/12/2008, -2/+29Think of it this way, your a sprinter, and you want to build muscle to get faster. You will keep getting faster has you build muscle, until you have so much muscle that it weighs you down and you start becoming slower.
- Lososaurus, on 09/12/2008, -4/+31Well played.
- slapded, on 09/12/2008, -2/+24Think of it this way, you'e obese, and you want to eat Big Macs to get fatter. Your will keep eating this ***** has you getting fatter, until you have so much fat that it weighs you down and you start voting for unqualified republicans.
- Alex64, on 09/12/2008, -4/+26Wow... this makes much more sense high.
- kiiwii, on 09/12/2008, -0/+20It really boggles the mind to think that there's people out there that are smart enough to think of, build, and analyze data from this thing.
- fandyboy, on 09/12/2008, -13/+31Hahaha, that is possibly the worst explanation of relativity ever, well done sir!
- pinchduck, on 09/12/2008, -0/+18In the time that the LHC went from conception to completion, billions more have been spent on human welfare programs than on scientific research. Of those billions, a good deal has been wasted on graft, fraud, and corruption. I'm sure there were any number of cost overruns and financial shenanigans while building the LHC, but at the end, we get an instrument to probe the inner workings of the universe. The billions spent on disease and poverty eradication have just led to some guy whining about a science experiment while the poor and hungry are still with us. If the LHC's budget would have eradicated poverty, disease and suffering, than I would have said "science can wait, let's fix humanity". The truth of the matter is that the 6 billion wouldn't have made much of a difference compared to what has already been done, so we might as well find out about the inner workings of the universe.
Every research project of this scale has had untold technological spinoffs that have helped mankind. This will be no different. Good luck to the scientists and engineers at CERN, I am really looking forward to being amazed by what they discover. - RealmDown, on 09/12/2008, -5/+23But until then, should you have the same want of mounting a dinosaur, Pamela Anderson is available for rent.
- christoast, on 09/12/2008, -1/+19He comes from a far away land unknown to most
- ZenFountain, on 09/12/2008, -2/+20Here's one from a Russian project, dunno it's kinda hard to understand the lingo but the illustrations are good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1wG9g1wjSA - karmabandit, on 09/12/2008, -1/+17Too bad it sounds gay
- jonshipman, on 09/12/2008, -1/+16How can we not get a super hero from this?
- djlethal, on 09/12/2008, -6/+21burried for not being a rickroll
- karmabandit, on 09/12/2008, -0/+14Only particles that have no mass can travel at exactly the speed of light, and they can't slow down. Particles that have mass cannot travel at the speed of light, but they can change their speed.
- eliotmat, on 09/12/2008, -0/+14too bad you didn't cancel your internet service and use the money saved to spend on poor or homeless people.
- nethowler, on 09/12/2008, -1/+14I'll bet it can run Crysis.
- kelmaster1, on 09/12/2008, -0/+12Best short explanation of the LHC I've come across.
- joegibes, on 09/12/2008, -0/+12Watch the LHC live, for real.
http://cms-project-cmsinfo.web.cern.ch/cms-project ... - vardhaman2249, on 09/12/2008, -4/+16yes,..just like the internets.
- Cadicus, on 09/12/2008, -3/+15Actually it's not bad..
more speed = more mass.. so the closer you get to the speed of light.. the harder it is to go faster. More and more and more energy are required. It's a plateau that you can never quite achieve... unless you take steroids. - roberto1632, on 09/12/2008, -1/+12OM NOM NOM NOM NOM
- Ramble, on 09/12/2008, -0/+11He comes from the mythical land of Britain, where the pubs serve real ale and fag means cigarette.
- homesickalien, on 09/12/2008, -0/+11Maybe documentaries... ;)
- smashhell, on 09/12/2008, -1/+12Why does he keep saying it'll reach the limit of speed of light, 99.9% of speed of light, and not actually reaches it ? I know it's not possible to surpass it, but why not achieve it ? Enlighten me. =)
- johnboycanada, on 09/12/2008, -0/+11At the speed of light mass becomes infinite.
- fandyboy, on 09/12/2008, -0/+10Unless you are a photon.
- Pandemicz, on 09/12/2008, -0/+10ever thought about looking it up?
- feignNU, on 09/12/2008, -1/+11It wasn't that bad. He wasn't trying to explain the whole of special relativity or anything, just that as you accelerate particles they get heavier, and thus harder to accelerate. I thought that came through quite clearly. Maybe it's not that his explanation was bad, but that your understanding is bad...
- hotpuck6, on 09/12/2008, -0/+10Holy *****, i heard people say black holes come out when a collision occurs, but no one said anything about skittles!
- karmabandit, on 09/12/2008, -0/+9No matter how good your technology is, it's always going to be a better collider if it is bigger. Think of the centrifugal force on you when you turn a tight corner in your car-- same thing is happening here to the protons in the ring. Are you able to drive faster around a very quick turn or a very gradual turn? No matter how good your car's handling is, you can always go faster around the gradual turn. The same reasoning always leads to bigger particle rings no matter how good our technology is.
- woods620, on 09/13/2008, -0/+9Maybe he posted from the future
