Whats the worst that can happen? We will see live 6months in the future for about a minute and half ... and have to clean up a whole load of dead crows. Big deal.

[ste4_20]

you got lucky this time!

[llcoolphil]

I'd rather hoped it was damaged beyond repair, so those idiot scientists give up

[ste4_20]

Genuinely capable how?

[llcoolphil]

There is a chance it could create a minute-particle sized black hole.

Then theres about the same chance again of that black hole actually surviving, then growing into one that could end the world. There's an almost infinitesimal small chance.

As my probability lecturer once told us (he always reminded me of a Chinese yoda); 'in life, you ignore the small probabilities, or you'll go crazy'.

[Radar]

Idiot scientists? Is there a group of academics you dont dismiss (other than classicists obviously)? Genuine question about why ypou think them idiots!

[ste4_20]

I think any endeavour which could risk unleashing forces beyond our control is an idiotic one and therefore by extension those seeking to undertake the endeavour are by definition reckless idiots.

[Radar]

It's about the same chance as you creating an earthquake by typing that sentence on your keyboard. Chaos theory and all that.

Are they forces beyond your control?

[llcoolphil]

Did I say "all scientists" ? No I didn't, so kindly remove your feet from my throat!

[Radar]

Why dont you either f**k off or grow some bollocks you f**kin mardy arsed twat? I was asking a genuine question and to avoid you thinking otherwise in childish radar f**kin world I pointed that out. Feet weren't on your throat but if you dont want to have what you post discussed STOP POSTING IN A FORUM CALLED DISCUSSIONS AND STOP POSTING PROVOCATIVE BOLLOCKS LIKE 'IDIOT SCIENTISTS'. WHICH f**kIN BIT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

[Langdale Wolf]

Whoa - come on chaps, play nicely.

(I'm talking to Radar and Phil of course, not the scientists.)

[ste4_20]

I don't know or care about chaos theory. Is that the same as the butterfly creating a tornado?

So, my opinion is ignorant, right, jolly good. Moving on...

[Radar]

Whoa - come on chaps, play nicely.

So from a position last week where your entire science knowledge was coming from a national newspaper and you had to have it explained how science was reported, a week later you are now in a position to judge what is and isn't reckless in the world of particle physics? Do you even know what particle physics actually is?

Someday, someone is going to hurt you, if you don't stop being such a complete and total c.u.n.t.

girls girls girls - step away from the handbags.

There's always one who ruins it for everyone

Langdale, do you know any messageboards that don't have any tossers on?

[Radar]

Really? Twat.

[llcoolphil]

can we have our first efest boxing match? raise some money for wateraid

[-pogo-]

girls girls girls - step away from the handbags.

[llcoolphil]

It seems more than likely. I'm amazed nobody has f**ked you up already.

[-pogo-]

Stop it you two! Just come toy our senses like me and ampersand and be open about the sexual frustation which lies between yous!
