That LHC is a little bitch

Back again. See, I'm not a one hit wonder....BOOM!

Ok, so I was checking out Chris Hardwick's(from WIRED magazine and the band Hard'n'Phrim) blog, the Nerdist(which can be find among my links over there > on the side), and found a little comment on the Large Hadron Collider. And here it is:

""LHC Acting Like A Little Bitch

Is a hadron a lazy bitch who won't do its work? If so, then the LHC is a large one of those. Black Hole enthusiasts will have to wait until Spring '09 to be crushed into a singularity after a recent electrical tantrum thrown by this 5-billion dollar Swiss celebutante. Described in schematics as "the part that looks like Optimus Prime's eye," the LHC is too cool at the moment to be entered by scientists but researchers feel that their "intense Frenchness" will warm it up and get them inside it in about a month, right before it takes the winter off for ski season. During that time, CERN officials will fill their days with "soft hitting contests," whereby an excessively hard punch will forfeit the match on the first try.

The Large Hadron Collider is ranked #32 in FHM's upcoming "Mechanical Sluts" issue.""

And of course being Chris Hardwick, he had to add this picture:

I personally now believe one of the following. Either Optimus Prime's eyes are made of LHC's, or these scientist are actually making Optimus Prime(I favor that one). Well, I suppose I should probably talk a little about the LHC incase you have no idea exactly WHAT I'm talking about.

The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest particle accelerator/atom smasher. It is located underneath the Fraco-Swiss border in the neutral country of Switzerland and reaches the seemingly unpractical length of 17 miles. Imagine those thousand of scientist that put this thing together ramming 2 hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons at 99.99% the speed of light each. That would mean each one is traveling approximately 299,762,479 m/s. That's equivalent to 670,549,568 MILES PER HOUR. Now, also realize that this is the speed of each one, and they are headed straight for one another. Which would put the closing speed at about 1,341,099,136 mph. Now, what happens when these two particles collide next spring? Optimistic scientist say it will create the legendary Higgs boson, which is some particle that will supposedly reveal the Grand Unified Theory. But the pessimists of the science world say black hole. Which means we will all die instantaneously. Sounds fun huh? Don't you just love science?

Well, that's all I have for now. Hope you keep reading (or should I say I hope I get readers).

Until next time, just remember, if a black hole does happen, it will be quick and painless.
