Global warming - more bad news !

I am not concerned about this specific piece of hardware. This one however may theoretically cause some cosmic trouble if something goes wrong. And they are seriously thinking about supersizing that one too.

What do you think such a biestie might make that hasn't been manufactured elsewhere before? The object of such research is to replicate conditions that have most certainly existed previously, in order to explain how such events created the artifacts we already know exist.

IMO that's part of the problem. Most of the cosmic processes are self-sustaining. It may be extremely interesting to reproduce physical conditions say inside a quasar, but how do you contain/extingush such a reaction?
Man they are talking about possible formation of black holes in the CERN collider and they are contemplating building an even bigger machine. I'd rather prefer they build one on the moon.

Relax. The collisions and particles will be infintesimal. CERN already make anti-matter and that is the most dangerous stuff of all.

The point of the research is to construct a Grand Unified Theory of physics. Gravity doesn't fit at the moment but it sure as heck exists.

Also there are some puzzles arising from Planck Time - the moment when the Big Bang started. The Universe expanded faster than the speed of light at the beginning which isn't easy to explain.

They've already built it. Don't worry about CERN zapping Earth, they know what they're doing. They invented the WWW. Bastards!

A black hole we all seem to have fallen into...

World War Won? Clearly not French then...

And definitely not all black.

LOL Caustic little bastard. Must spread meself around and all that.

RSS MSU: September 2007 was 7th coolest month in this century

According to the new RSS MSU satellite data, September 2007 was the 7th coldest month among 81 months since January 2001. It has made it to the 9% of the coolest months of the 21st century so far. Their gadgets measure temperature at latitudes between -70.0 (S) and +82.5 (N) - about 94.5% of the surface.

The Southern hemisphere was 0.015 Celsius degrees cooler than the long-term average, fifth coldest month since January 2001. Antarctica has cooled down by roughly 1 Fahrenheit degree in the last 50 years.

Sounds like an ideal time to ban cheap energy.

Bringing directly relevant unambigous numerically quantifiable facts to a political squabble? Damn, that's bloody harsh dude.

Edit: And apparently irrelevant, Al Gore has just been awarded MVP for the opposition...

Global warming - some day we will be just like that other planet that you can see in the sky everyday. You know the big one.
