    Default Are we still here or are we....?

    Since the big Hadron collider did it's experiment are we still here or did we and our whole universe collectively move into another dimension or universe? Would we even know it if we did?

    Or will that happen the next time or some time in the future?

    I think today was just to fire it up and make sure it actually works. It's not until they crash two protons into one another sometime in the future that some speculate they will create a black hole that will devour us all. Of course, I don't believe that's what will actually happen but it sure is fun to talk about. And if it does, perhaps we will go to a parallel universe where I am a much better guitar player.

    If anything, it might create a tangent universe were really wierd stuff happens (like in Donnie Darko. . .)

    Flying cows and senile old people and stuff. . .

    In any case, if it does create a black-hole and that in turn devours the planet, I think it all happens within a few seconds at most. . .

    So, no, I don't think we would know. It would just end.

    Analysis Spock. What would happen if two protons were to crash into each other at near light speed...

    I'm glad to see that it is in operation.

    You can take off your tinfoil hats. The black-hole devouring the universe is a bunch of nonsense & it's not gonna shift us into a parallel universe that we wouldn't have already had access to in the first place.

    I think I'm caught in some sort of "time loop". If you watch Star Trek you know what I'm talking about. As long as you keep pressing the "reset" button, it seems to take you back 15 seconds in time. I've been doing it for . . . 2 hours, which means I've pressed that damn button over 400 times to save our universe. I need someone to take over pretty soon, I can't keep this up for ever.
