Hey... lets just watch JMs green light... if it goes out we know that the world has ended... JM can be like... you know... our "black hole canary" :P... JM don't leave CAA, we need to observe your activity to make sure that we're not all about to die from death by black hole.

It is perhaps... interesting to note that JM is spending his last waking moments before being eaten alive by a black hole viewing CAA... while I am spending mine... doing physics... and its not even a physics problem I am enjoying all that much... it was long, and I dislike the order of magnitude for the final answer with a passion.

(I may as well stay awake for the next six minutes).

Still alive

Postby mechana2015 » Wed Sep 10, 2008 12:43 am

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.


I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when theres science to do
when i look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you
i've experiments to run
there is research to be done
on the people who are
still alive.


and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
i feel fantastic and I'm still alive
while your dying ill be still alive
and when your dead i will be still alive
still alive
still alive

Its funny though, all those people saying that God is dead even before any of the results. Oh well, even more fun with debates after this and the results.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

They just ran some particles around the tube today – clockwise. They will do counter-clockwise next. No collisions scheduled for a while.

Anyways, if they do start off the destruction of the world, it may take several years to actually happen – so you all still need to do your homework and get jobs. No back-talking!

My personal favorite is the apparent possibility of forming a quasar inside the Earth that will eat the planet from the inside out. After about four years – a beam of light will shine out of the Indian Ocean followed shortly by a beam of light coming out of the other side of the planet. I hope that’s my front yard. How cool would that be?

Yeah. Still no ray guns or flying cars, either.

I love how Google's logo was the Large Hadron Collider yesterday. That was awesome.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

My favorite bit of misinformation came yesterday when the pseudo-news shows all made fun of the fact we are still alive. If the end of the world comes, it will come when they use the collider to actually cause collisions.

Of course it's always more fun to make fun of people who bring up extremely unlikely but terrifying scenarios and if they actually waited until the event that's supposed to end the world actually happens, it probably wouldn't be a news story anymore and their audiences would not remember what they are making fun of.

On the other hand, if it is still news, they can make fun of them all over again and their audiences probably won't remember they are making the same jokes twice. They could probably even just re-play the old clips.

True, mostly I'm just annoyed that this wasn't all done several years ago. A much larger accelerator was being built in Texas when I was in high school until congress decided to stop funding it.

Still it all leaves us wondering, do biologists suffer from physics envy?

Isn't that particle beam collision something like my mom's cat colliding with the just cleaned sliding glass door, while running at full throttle? I think it experienced something similar to the elusive "God Particle" the physicists were looking for, at the moment it hit the glass door.

I'm kinda dissapointed too. I have a speech tonight at class. I was hoping to get out of it. Well...anyway...at least's I get to tell people about how God got me started in Anime.

Hey Technomancer, you think maybe using the animal collider will help tomorrow's squirel be more decided on which side of the road they want to run across when a car is coming?
