Funny what gets people talking. It seems that the shiney new Large Hadron Collider has become the new most popular science topic of discussion, for both the tech elite, and the mindless Christian scare mongering morons, alike. If you haven’t been keeping up with the news – or the only news you follow is the entertainment pages and Britney’s latest act of public stupidity – the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is basically a fuck off big race track for quantum particles. The whole idea is to send two sets of protons spinning in opposite directions and when they are near the speed of light, smash them head on and see what happens. Exciting stuff! There’s even talk of a few little quantum sized blackholes getting created for a nanosecond or two! Imagine that; mini blackholes you can show off to your mates! Those physicists at CERN must be wetting themselves with excitement.
Mind you, as always the Christians are in a hissy fit over this new toy because some of them are worried we might destory God’s creation – being the earth and all of us – as the little blackholes could become very big blackholes and rend us atom by atom into nothingness. Well, sure, but you know – no guts, no glory, man! You’re not going to win a Nobel Prize without breaking a few laws of physics, that’s for sure!
Serious for a second, there isn’t any way this thing is going to destroy the earth. You have more chance of being able to walk to the moon in a pink bikini than the LHC ending our existence in a puff of anti-matter. As usual the Christians are panicking and slinging the FUD around! Jezuz, you would think after losing that argument with Gallello they would have learned to shut the fuck up by now (it only took them 183 years to admit they lost as well). But no, it appears where there’s high end science, there’s a bunch of Christian numbnuts screaming about the end of the world. The shitty part about it is, decent scientists don’t run around screaming the world is going to end every time some fat paedophile guy puts on a long dress and starts preaching the “Word of God”. No, they just go about their day, building bigger and better science experiments.
So really, why bother making a fuss at all?! Honestly what’s the worst that could happen? The world being devoured in a second big bang, you say! So what! Even it does, it will be so fast you won’t even notice. Then we all get to see who was right, and who was wrong between the Buddhists, and the Christians.
Another very interesting debate that needs settling!
