Yes actually, I have thought about the possibility of some crazy power experiment going wrong and destroying or seriously fucking up the earth. It's a fun sci-fi type fantasy to consider. I don't think we have the ability to do that though, nor will we any time soon. I often think of what it would be like if we generated a miniature black hole in a lab and it just fucked up everything. heh. I kind of like apocalyptic fantasy, so what?
Makes you wonder about other life out there in space and what crazy space bending experiments they may have accomplished and if anything they could do would possibly affect us in anyway as well. But, space is too big for that. heh. |

I like John Stewarts take on it..
Apparently he thinks that the last thing a human will ever say is.. "Hey, It worked...." |

Anyone else curious what the people saw who died, or where going to die from their blackout during those two minutes?
I've thought about this stuff before. Although I've also thought about killing people and making a shirt out of other people. I guess my point is, that we should cryogenically freeze stephen hawking until we can do brain transplants. Last edited by ast3r3x : 2006-06-23 at 05:54. |

No it doesn't scare me.
1) The big bang is no more real than god 2) The energies needed to produce the big bang itself are contained in all the particles of the universe of which we have access to only tiny tiny tiny tiny^gogleplex amounts 3) The third points are almost always the weakest |

eh, i kinda believe in an accordion universe...expansion, followed by statis, followed by collapse, followed by bang, followed by expansion...
so no real "big bang", just multiple bangs...kinda like orgasims for women...after all mother nature is female so we bring on a bang early by mistake....no biggie, gonna happen sooner or later think of the universe as an average american male...violence of birth followed by rapid growth and development followed by a fairly boring middle age followed by a slow collapse to death...then violent rebirth as a banana slug to make up for not doing more with his previous life etc etc forever and ever in a way it is freeing...no matter how much we kinda suck and fuck up, it is ok because in a trillion years some of our atoms will be in the next race trying to figure out what life is all about and trying to score with that cute chick at work or school or on the bus (though they won't call it a bus...they will call it a thakarog...and that cute chick will have 18 ovaries ringing her head like a crown of reddish dates...though, to that future man those will be see as a sign of great beauty, much like the 14 testes outlining his jaw like a dangly flesh beard shows his masculinity....etc etc) g crazy is not a rare human condition everything is food if you chew hard enough |

Yes.. It's one of those movies a bit like Matrix, or Eternal Sunshine of the Mind (I think that's the title), or Existenze.... Good fun though.

This reminds me of the issue around "Strangelets" when they fired up the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
For those that don't want to read the link: there is a very, very small (but critically, non-zero) chance of creating a "strangelet" with the RHIC, a type of matter that could (and would) destroy the universe as we know it. Many people argue that because the consequence has "infinite" impact, that there is no justifiable non-zero chance of it occurring. |

Has anybody proven that strangelets even exist?
Edit: No. In fact they haven't been shown to exist. The standard model of the atom is incomplete and empirical, thus reducing our ability to believe everything it predicts. It would be one thing if these particles have been proven to exist and its an entire other to base ones' fears on the speculative creation of a speculative particle with speculative properties. |
