olivier in france Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 i find it very ironic that the origin of the end of the world 'd be peaceful Switzerland ("no war fought since 1515" TM) instead of some nuclear war apocalypse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Is that a Sunday? If so who do the Bills play? I don't know. But it's my freakin birthday. I'm trying to see if the Mayans can postpone the Apocolypse for a day. I could care less if the world ends on 12/22 because I'll be hungover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molson_golden2002 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 The News Hour had an interview with a scientist about this thing. Was pretty interesting what they are doing, smashing these protons together to see what other matter is created. They are trying to find out what Dark Matter is and all that.

I've seen some stuff on TV here too.... One scientist was saying they hoped to discover what and where is the "94% of matter that we don't know anything about". I don't know how they get to that 94% figure but that's fascinating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to find out what Dark Matter is and all that. dark matter, dark energy, string theory- I get off on that stuff! Truly fascinating! The greatest book I have ever read is A Brief History of Time- and Hawking describes everything that CERN is researching. I highly recommend that book, especially if you are interested in the LHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm....have you seen the "Kindle" where you can download books into a mini-computer thing and read it off of that? Amazon is advertising it. Pretty cool really.
