- liah, on 02/25/2008, -7/+74Could have sworn the title read "Large Hardon Collider."
Maybe I just have a sick, sick mind... - Sornos, on 02/25/2008, -1/+37Prepare for unforeseen consequences.
- Cerialthriller, on 02/25/2008, -4/+30i think NASA just Goatse'd us
- inactive, on 02/25/2008, -5/+29Good thing we Americans won't be having a new one of those big ol' fancy un-Jesus like colliders. They sound unnatural and godless. Thanks Congress! A war in Iraq is so much better!

- leetleo, on 02/25/2008, -3/+21Did anyone else make a phallic reading mistake on that title? *cringe*
- Zippo, on 02/25/2008, -5/+19Hooray, possible destruction of the near universe.
- inactive, on 02/25/2008, -1/+14smashing protons !
- dualityim, on 02/25/2008, -0/+10You mean Black Mesa?
- staxofmax, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9It looks like the Death Star laser. If they blow up the planet I'm going to be pissed.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 02/25/2008, -1/+10I totally did the same thing. Had to do a double take.
- abaybas, on 02/25/2008, -3/+11Just look at this picture: http://mediaarchive.cern.ch/MediaArchive/Photo/Pub ...
Doesn't that remind you of the MESA facility? Finally, the future is here. - wmcarpenter, on 02/25/2008, -0/+8Same here, I've seen this story pop up a few times, every time I'm completely confused as to why someone would make a hardon collider, or more importantly what they do.
- macosta5811, on 02/25/2008, -0/+8LHC has an interesting derivation:
"The LHC@Home project will allow anyone with a home computer to help LHC scientists search archived LHC data for these strange beasts." That´s the Grid, "a service for sharing computer power and data storage capacity over the Internet. The Grid goes well beyond simple communication between computers, and aims ultimately to turn the global network of computers into one vast computational resource".
"CERN's IT Department is interested in evaluating the sort of technology that is used by SETI@home for future use. A program called SixTrack, which simulates particles traveling around the LHC to study the stability of their orbits, can fit on a single PC and requires relatively little input or output. SixTrack produces results that are essential for verifying the long term stability of the high energy particles in the LHC".
So, it 's worth if you can attach to LHC@home and help. - 4degrees, on 02/25/2008, -0/+8"I never thought I would ever see a resonance cascade much less create one."
- slvrbullet87, on 02/25/2008, -0/+7I dont see any head crabs so no
- jemka, on 02/25/2008, -0/+7Phew, it says HaDRon Collider.
- HALL9000, on 02/25/2008, -0/+7It has nothing to do with NASA! LHC is CERN's project.
- Falldog, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6http://www.imgdump.info/img59242.search.htm
- turbopro, on 02/25/2008, -1/+7Get it on the PS3. It would be great to say I was involved in the discovery of the first detectable Higgs Boson particle. Or you know, the creation of a black hole that swallowed the Earth.
- custerfluck, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6Common mistake, a "Large Hardon Collider" is what happens when you take Viagra and walk through the door sideways.
- inactive, on 02/25/2008, -2/+8No no no...if you wanted to be clever, you'd have said:
This article gave me a hadron. - namae, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6Oh good, I wasn't the only one then
- thatspsychotic, on 02/25/2008, -1/+7If one more person comments about how they misread it, I'm going to punch someone. It was only funny the first time.
- Testiculese, on 02/25/2008, -0/+5Imagine trying to debug that wiring. I don't care what the pay is, I'm not doing it!
- slvrbullet87, on 02/25/2008, -0/+5The now second largest super collider in the world is outside of Chicago
- teh_techie, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4Good thing you pointed it out for the lysdexic people
- inactive, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4Damn, already taken: http://www.largehardoncollider.com/
- KraftDinner101, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4Yes, because everything that happens in the movies, happens in real life......
- sonoran, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4The US does have an equivalent device: NOvA. But it's future is in doubt as the congress just made a major funding cut in December of last year. This was a huge blow to the US Physics program: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=future-of-top- ...
- Sornos, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4I really don't know where to start...
- o0joshua0o, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4"Sunday, December 23, 2012: Heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generate a catastrophic chain reaction that destroys the earth. A temporal phenomenon allows a small group of humans to survive by travelling into the recent past. They alone possess the knowledge of this tragedy, and they have just a few short years to find a way to prevent it."
Let me know if you're interested in the film/miniseries rights. - CiXeL, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4yeah one of the american made parts was one of the huge magnets that failed. some chrysler quality there.
- Testiculese, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4Hi! (How'd you know I was going to read this article?)
- BlueSkyfish, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4The guy above you.
- aquadoctorbob, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3Good thing, too. We all know how much people respect science in this country.
- staxofmax, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3I didn't read it that way, but the concept of the machine and what it can do gives me one.
- hoppdawg, on 02/25/2008, -1/+4I'd hit it.
- MrBogard, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3Science fiction is just trying to warn us. But Terminator 3.. seriously?
- FiP0, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3“Although I will admit that the probability of a resonance cascade scenario is extremely un-“.
“Gordon doesn’t need to hear all of this, he’s a highly ... - mranissimov, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3It's going to kill you dead. 2008.
- MaxMWood, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3Have a look at my pictures of Partical Accelerators and other things from CERN: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxwood/sets/72157603 ...
- slvrbullet87, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3You didnt get chased by 40 FBI agents in black BMW's on the way to work this morning? I know i did.
- Rabid_Llama, on 02/25/2008, -2/+4It's been mentioned, but every time I see an article about this amazing machine, I read it as "Large Hardon Collider", and it makes me giggle. Smashing two (large) penises together at relativistic speeds to try and create a black hole.
- sv650touring, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2Thankfully there was no swordplay in the article
- cobalt8888, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2Right there with you guys. What does that say about us?
- Wangzero, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2I found Waldo!
- swanny89, on 02/25/2008, -1/+3*cough* fermilab? I know you have to restrain yourself from blaming everything on the government, but frankly I don't want the government's funds, with strings attached, holding back researchers.
- Kruez, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2I count 2 people!
- garywoo, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2Oh my, this is only "one of six detectors being attached to the LHC." My god!!!
