LHC rant (Warning: Profanities and excessive capslock)

[Pieman]

Here goes.

IF I HEAR ONE MORE GOD DAMNED THING ABOUT THE LHC BLOWING UP THE WORLD, I'M GOING TO FUCKING GO APESHIT. THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON THE ISSUE.
1) IT WILL CREATE A BLACK HOLE AND SUCK UP THE FUCKING WORLD.
a) IF IT DOES SUCK UP THE WORLD, THERE IS NOT A FUCKING GOD DAMNED THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. ENJOY YOUR LAST MONTH ON EARTH ETC. ETC.
b) IN THE EVENT THAT THE WORLD DOES END BECAUSE OF A FAGGOTASS BLACK HOLE, YOU WILL NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENED AS IT WOULD BE INSTANTANEOUS. PLEASE SEE EXAMPLE:
Random Person: Welcome to Taco Bell! What can I get you?
Me: Hey uh, I'd like an apple empanada, a medium drink and... a cheesy double beef burri- FUCKING GONE. IT WILL BE DONE IN A SPLIT SECOND. YOU WILL NOT KNOW ITS COMING, MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, YOU WONT FEEL ANYTHING BECAUSE YOUR ATOMS WOULD BE FUCKING ALL OVER THE PLACE IN A MAYHEM. FIGURE THIS **** OUT AND GET THE **** OVER IT.

SECOND SCHOOL OF THOUGHT.
1) IT WILL NOT COMMIT BLACK HOLE BULLSHIT, AND THE WORLD WILL NOT END.
a) HALF OF THE POPULATION WILL FEEL RETARDED. WHAT THEY ARE SIMULATING IN SWITZERLAND IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS IN SPACE ALL THE TIME. ARE/HAVE WE BEEN SUCKED UP BY A BLACK HOLE YET? NO. NO, NO, NO, FUCKING NO WE HAVE NOT BEEN.
b) WE MIGHT ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS ****. YEA, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IF THIS **** DOES WORK AND WE ARE NOT HORRIBLY ANNIHILATED IN (A FRACTION OF A FUCKING MILLISECOND) SOME COOL **** MIGHT HAPPEN. WE MIGHT DISCOVER NEW DIMENSIONS, THE HIGGS PARTICLE, OR SOMETHING OF EQUAL COOLNESS. YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT THIS SITUATION IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO? TAKING A GOD DAMNED PILL.
EXAMPLE:

GENERIC PILL: EFFECT: USED FOR HEADACHE RELIEF AND DECONGESTION. SIDE EFFECTS: RUNNY NOSE, UPSET STOMACH. IN SOME EXTREME CASES, NAUSEA, INSOMNIA, SEIZURES OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.

SPIN THE FUCKING ROULETTE, FOLKS. CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST BECAUSE IT WONT MATTER EITHER WAY- (UNLESS WE GET SOME COOL **** FROM IT.)
god damnit. I'm fucking raging.

Pieman, you never fail to amaze me.

 

[xblackcat]

I agree with the emo part

 

[Ramuthra]

wall of "cruise controlled for cool" text crits for 990000, leaving ramuthra stunned, you crawl back to the pokemon centre....

 

[LightWarrior]

dude I'm so scared, they're going to start smashing protons this october aHHH...we're gonna dieee!

 

[Loxx]

Awesome.

 

[Liselotte]

Awesome.

 

[Mreow]

Awesome.

I know it won't ever happen, but one in a 50 million chance it'll destroy us. Even though it's next to impossible to occur, but still... there is still a chance. Why can't they eliminate that chance?

 

[Chelseaa]

I remember Rishwin posting that if a black hole were to form, it would only last a trillionth of a second before imploding on itself since it won't be able to gain enough energy for it to suffice.

Something like that.

And Nuklear, to eliminate the chance they would either have to put it off or shut it down.
I doubt they'd do either.

Did you know that every time you take a piss there's a chance you'll wipe out all matter in the universe? Did you know that every time you put your foot on the ground there's a chance it'll go through the floor?

Conclusion? Every action that happens has a chance of producing a freak accident. Why should this be any different? I don't see any safeguards on my toilet to prevent a universal Armageddon, so why should we all of the sudden take this freak chance in to account with the LHC?

I guess it would be in sense to take the fact that we could possibly, maybe die into consideration. But like the .. pee thing, and the foot thing, it hasn't happened yet .. right? Unless the foot thing had faulty floor-boards or something, but I guess initially there's no reason to panic until it happens. And even if it happened in Switzerland, someone in say .. Texas would only have split second? o:

I haven't researched it enough, or much at all. Just for little bits of info and when I should panic or not.

My point was that the chance of any of that happening is so rediciously small, that it would be retarded to take any preventive actions.

How you stated it above, in your original post, was you made it sound like 50/50. That day when it happens, if it happens, we either live or die.
Which I guess .. is right. We'll live or die. The chances aren't right, though.

Anyways.
There's not much you could even do, really, to prevent something bad from happening other then to shut the project down. So since that's not happening, it's pretty .. lame to panic at all.
I'm so hypocritical, I was panicking. But that's another story.

[ If none of this made sense to your post, sorry. I tend to babble. x: ]

Toilet papers have cushions on them to prevent the end of the universe! 2 ply toilet papers ftw!

I wonder why they never made a 3 ply Toilet Paper.

Maybe it would be too thick?

 

[Batz]

Yeah exactly.

I stated the two possibilities that could happen, and that either way it wouldn't matter because we wouldn't notice it anyway if we died.
