CERN's LHC: End of the world begins 10 Sep!!!

**Roukan**

I think it'll cause a rift in time and space and funk up our past. By that I mean we'll all change into either highly evolved beings or primates.

Blackhole on earth...whoah...

That surely won't be good for Mxo's subscriptions

*Now playing : REM - It's the end of the world as we know it.*

If you are familiar with the concept of multiple universes the most likely outcome of time travel is that the time traveller ends up in a different universe.

Think of it like this:
- you invent a time travel device
- you travel to yesterday and go and visit yourself
- as you didn't visit yourself yesterday, you end up in a universe where you DID visit yourself yesterday. (this is the commonly agreed upon solution to the grandfather paradox. Travel back in time and kill your grandfather and you would never have been born. So if you weren't born how did you travel back in time and kill your grandfather? The answer: by being born in one universe and killing your crandfather in a near identical universe. Current dimentional theory predicts that there is a universe for every possible eventuality, and even the impossible eventualities. Like ones that could only happen in a universe where physics is different).

Time, like space, is distortable but not changeable. A bit like an orange... you can squash it (change the arrangement of it's particles) but can't change it into a planet, the total energy of the system is different. (simplified for illustrative purposes)
If I remember correctly your talking about the super string theory, or something along that line.
Super String theory is based off that 10/11 dimentional structure, yes.

Time travel is folding through the 5th dimention in that model. Paradox-free time travel involves folding through the 6th or higher dimention.

Quick explination of 10 dimentional structure (It's not quite accurate but a very good illustrative explination)...

Interesting little vidoe you got there, I remember covering most of it in Geometry class but good none the less. Like how they incoperated the book flatlanders. And how they describe the 10th dimension of being a single point. Though a point, and a line, are actually impossible to draw dimension wise, since a point doesn't have length width or hieght it wouldn't be visable, and since a line only contains one of the three it is also not visable. It needs atleast two dimensions to be of true dimensional standards. With out length there can be no width or height, with out width there can be on length or height, but with out height there can still be length and width as long as both are present.

Anyone hear about that interstellar highway bypass that was due through here in about . . . 7 days?

**Asna**

I did, but I refuse to panic.

I think I'll keep a towel to hand in any case...

Oh yeah. There's no point in acting all surprised about it. The plans and demolition orders have been on display at our local planning office in Alpha Centauri for fifty of our Earth years.

So 4 Warp Core Breaches is NOT enough??? eh??? =P =P

My stance on this is simple if we ever hope to advance scientificly we are going to have to take calculated risks.

Are we to say that we can never hope to advance medically if we are not going to be able to test processes on animals or should we just skip that step and just test directly on humans?

Quoted from Wiki:

"the first attempt to circulate a beam through the entire LHC is scheduled for 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on 21 October 2008"

So...the world won't end in 6 days?
