Has the large hadron collider destroyed the world yet?

Jan 29, 2012 11:13 PM

@wingnutzero listed this as a good web search.

Scott Gilbertson offers: Where would science be without the paranoid fears of conspiracy theorists? Probably the same place the internet would be without joke websites.

Best Yahoo answer from korban: Yes, but in doing so it created parallel universes until it created one where the collision event failed. Which is this universe, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

Do you have an answer for us?

Yes, the world was destroyed. Where the heck were you when we all got sucked into that black hole that started in Europe?

No, the first Nuclear bomb's chain reaction never ended turning the earth into a sun.

@captainsuperdawg: the Lard Hadron Collider is designed to create tiny black holes that "could". These black holes would find it's way to the core of our planet and get larger and larger until our world would be sucked into it (in a forever-slow-motion sort of way).. essentially time would stop and we would be forever aware/"frozen" in place getting sucked in.

Or so the conspiracy theorists say. That's what I remember from the last time I read about it back in 2010

The Kardashians are still considered celebrities. So, yes, the world has been destroyed. Or at least there's marginal difference.

@devexityspace: Forevermore stuck in this woot thread, questioning if the world is coming to the end, while the rest of the galaxy moves forward in multiple separate relevant time observations.

@devexityspace: Thanks, I think it was just the wording of the original that confused me.

As long as the corporation's don't get their way, (destroying the EPA) the earth may have a chance. As far as the collider goes, I'm not particularly worried.

If you're reading this in 2012, then it means that it worked... I don't have much time, but it is important the experiments at the LHC are stopped immediately. You must shutdown the LHC before February 2, 2012. The Higgs particle the researchers discover will eventually lead to hyper advanced quantum computers. This new found computing technology ushers in a hyper intelligent AI, which eventually unleashes a wave of death and destruction upon the human race. The machines have killed or enslaved the majority of mankind. If you are reading this you are our last hope against the machines. To shutdown the LHC you must Carrier lost

The world hasn't ended yet, but that darn LHC is causing the worst natural disasters this world has ever seen. It's all the collider's fault.

At least that is what I would say if I were a crazy nut who fears particle accelerators.

I like what they said on Diggnation a long time ago, it would be funny if the LHC keeps breaking down because people from the future are traveling back in time to stop it so it doesn't destroy the world one day.

@ganzhimself: Do you read me? your tachyon signal is week...We need a reality check..We are being threated by Kardashians from an anti-multiverse. Our economy is already in collapse. What is the best way to shutdown the LHC!

@devexityspace: Do Lard Hadrons come from obese atoms? Are there any non-fat hadrons that they could use instead?

Only those crazy Europeans would think of building something that smashes together large balls of fat.

Oh. Large, not Lard. Never mind.

In the time that I come from it has. That's why I came back here, to try and warn you all to stop it. Unfortunately I have been too bust eating bacon, as pigs are extinct in my time, to actually do anything about it. Sorry about that.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
