Re: Big Bang Day
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!
they have said things like when they first collided atoms then they found all kinds of stuff inside them. I think this could probably do that to an immensely greater state. I doubt it'll destroy itself like in some james Bond film.
Re: Big Bang Day
i hope they take pictures at that cross. i want to see what it looks like. pew pew pew!

Nice, that's so Star Trek.

We do not have the ability to create enough energy to destroy this planet in a single event. We burn trash to power things. We're essentially cavemen. Get over it.
[quote=shosh;647987] discovering the higgs boson would be amazing. however can you imagine what would happen if they dont discover it, or better yet if they discover it doesnt exist? the ramifications would be insane... [/quote]
Well they did build the 8 billion dollar facility to do more than just find a single particle. There is a lot to learn here. There are probably going to be a lot more questions than answers, so don't hold your breath just yet.

this is interesting. if you know who john titor is[/quote]
:roflmao:
I wish we still had our John Titor thread, it was awesome.
Re: Big Bang Day
yea the images jenks stuck in there from the 4th dimension were a mind fuck... and that LHC video was just incredible, makes you wonder that if in fact all these powerful elements are naturally present, the power of nature to stabilize them is just unreal.
Re: Big Bang Day
who is this John Titor?
is he like John Conner??? :)

werent they like the apple of their day! like way back in the 90's!

back in the 70's, according to Titor, there was some bug in the future machines that had reportedly been corrected in the old IBMs and because of global nuclear war, little in the past of 2000 remained and so they put a flux capacitor into his vette and sent him back in time.
though if you read his chats on AOL (iirc), some of the shit he speaks of is not spewing out of his hind quarters, the guy did seem very convincing.

someone liked the back to the future films!!! :lol:
Re: Big Bang Day
I kid you not, he did come back in a vette, he also had a few photos to share, one was of the interior of the vette showing his equipment and the other was of a laser being bent next to the window of the car because of the immense gravitational field produced by the vehicle (if I rememeber that right

haha I wish I'd read that thread!
IMO time travel is impossible, because time is a human invention. There is only the here and now that exists...there is no "past" that exists outside of our mind (ie, memories), and there is no "future" that exists out there. There is only the now.
So make the most of it! :mrgreen:

not the most convincing of information. especially for 2000.
the guys meant to be from 2036. they have time machines!!!
low grade photos and boxes with yellow and black tape strapped into old corvettes!!!
the corvette would be like 70 years old. how many 70 year old cars do u know of that start in the morning?
Re: Big Bang Day
yea the first photo and the image of the lazer are the ones I saw.....

There is nothing in physics that rules out the possibility of time travel- even single timeline single universe time travel. Also look at tacyons and positrons both capable of time travel. Clocks are a human invention. Time isn't.

Re: Big Bang Day
Yo- this is kinda dope. They have some webcams setup inside the facility.

Re: Big Bang Day
lol tim. been following this project for awhile. one of the most mind blowing things to me is on a somewhat smaller scale-
the data center for the LHC is only recording like a very tiny fraction of the collisions, it's only taking the best, what we believe to be the most significant, events and saving that data. if the data center were to record the data from EVERY event, it would fill up every hard drive on the planet....in just a few minutes.
the idea behind the LHC is pretty simple when you think about it. the technology involved to make it happen is what is mind blowing.

Re: Big Bang Day
and not to thread jack so just breeze on by this unless you know what i'm talking about-
there is a global research project, we talked about it in depth on ms 1.0 i think-
there are hundreds of massive computers across the globe mapping significant events on earth, mapping the energy released in these events. sort of a live earth biorhythm or something. i've lost the link to the site with the live data and the stored data from the past. global something project? tim, kamal, ben? it suggests a pattern to catastrophic events based on energy released and time collected. fk. off to google i go.

Fuck. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

I dont remember the name but I do know that there are 13 computers around the globe running 24x7 connected to random number generators. These computers are graphing the randomness with which these machines are generating numbers and detecting spikes in these graphs depicting a rapid reduction in randomness of numbers being generated directly co-related to the occurrence of catastrophic events. I think I posted a couple of videos from what the bleep do we know where Dean Caden (one of the guys connected with this experiment) is talking about it and how they detected massive spikes when 9/11 happened. One of the computers/random number generators is sitting in Princeton.

Re: Big Bang Day
it was from that John Titor thread we had and the conversation deviated from Time Travel to multiple dimensions and you had posted this wicked image about the dimensions.

Re: Big Bang Day
yea man now I remember the word NOOSPHERE. Another incredible facet of the mysterious quantum world is super-positioning. There's actually a photograph taken of a particle that is simultaneously in 2 positions at once. Just wicked.
