Why can't we all turn our attention to things like that rather than wasting time on primitive religion. Science gives me confidence, purpose, believe, and peace.
this kind of stuff makes me depressed about what the national networks show here.....PBS isn't nearly as well funded as BBC, and it shows through the programming on our TVs here.
"Although, there are certain things which worry me which wern't mentioned in this, namely the fact that when the particles collide the energy which "is sufficient to create a black hole" is realised in heat equating to the temperature of the sun."A small black hole evaporates in an almost instantaneous fashion, per Hawking's radiation.Also, high energy collision happen all the time in the upper atmosphere; the point of an experiment like the LHC is not just to smash bits together, it's also to do it in a controlled, measured fashion. Those big-ass devices you see in all the pictures are usually not the accelerator itself, they're the sensors that collect the data.

Infinite amount of time? How do you define "time", exactly?
