I'll add this to my growing list of things to worry about.

one minute you're scurrying around with everybody, then
ffffllloooooooooop

We all gonna die

“A particle accelerator that reaches 100bn GeV would be larger than Earth, and is unlikely to be funded in the present economic climate,” Hawking writes.

All those idiots who said it would create a black hole are gonna think they were right.

Won't see it coming.

...I'm going to be really glad I put on clean underwear!

Thanks for the chuckle.

I'd hate to work a whole week and then have the Universe end on a Friday.

Good thinking berry.

Every particle in the expanding bubble will suddenly become a boson - as opposed to being a fermion - and will have to move at the speed of light. All the time. But also, as bosons, particles will no longer obey the Pauli exclusion principle, which will make it hard to punch people in the face and have any real effect.

and 14.5 billion years later, someone does research on the newly rediscovered Higgs bosen accidentally triggers a catastrophic vacuum decay...... wow................deja vu?

You guys are killin' me!

I wonder how I could protect my Lladro figurines?

Which is something every universe would want to happen. So we have that going for us.

I'm done here anyway.

NEXT!

my towel handy.

Are you the guy mentioned in the other thread with the ISIS logo that we are supposed to be on the lookout for?

(Look at the initial post before edits on this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025502505)

a flat 'at or a panama.

Why hasn't the technologically superior alien species that Hawking is so worried about collapsed space-time yet? Shouldn't they have discovered/manipulated the Higgs boson before us?

The collapse travels at the speed of light, so we won't see it until it hits us.

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Meh.

Oh, wait.

Oreck.

Then I'll stop bugging the VA that I still can't hear well.

The moment is structured that way.



So it goes.

Read the fine print on the loan app you signed when you were 17.

Without time, there's no interest!

And since you can do it at the speed of light, what are you waiting for?

No one would go into an iron lung, so no deferments.

Call the DOCTOR.....

Dyson had an orgasm.

Well, the top end of the LHC is 14,000 GeV, so I wouldn't worry about 100 billion GeV for a while yet

Some really clever stuff by a lot of DU'ers. Thanks for the laughs, folks.

Save the earth and take all the shit blood despair and gore we humans have caused down the Higgs Boson hole.

Wait, I guess the earth would go too. That is truly sad.
