I watched a discovery show on this a while ago, it uses electricity as much as 500,000 houses or something like that.
:eek5:

When GEEKS do rap. Corny but real.

They are also in the process of building a new monster machine in Oak Ridge that should come on in a few years.

Wonder what all this stuff does to the earth's magnetic field. That's a big magnet.

Started today now I know why my toilet flushed counterclockwise this morning- it's all the wind from the black hole.

That is one scary machine. 600 million collisions a second.

I saw that show too
I wonder what the results will be once they smash something
seems like a rediculous amount of money

Sounds like a Lost episode about to go very wrong...

Going to take a year for them to bump this thing up to 7,000,000,000,000,000 gigajoulawatts but it should be interesting to see what they come up with. What if they figured out how to alter time as we know it in the process....

I wanna go back to the 1800's and go fishing on the Cape.

Sounds like a prelude to the movie "The Mist", where a research lab puches a hole into another dimension, and the creatures from that dimension come spilling into ours. The movie was made from a Stephen King short story, and the creatures are quite impressive and frightening.
Oh, well, I guess our world isn't crowded enough as it is.

i've been very apprehensive about this since i heard about it a few years back. especially since the test it was built to do (trying to recreate the big bang) will be carried out some where between 2012 and 2017. which if you didn't know corresponds to a couple of ancient doomsday prediction dates. but at this point it doesn't matter (no pun intended :hihi:) with the state of the world there are about 100 other things that could spell doomsday during that time period. so what ever. let them make a black hole. it will be fun to watch it chew through the planet once a year as we orbit through it. (until eventually it gets big enough to just swallow the planet)

proving the theory will have far reaching implications and lead
to countless inventions.... into our distant future..

but first you have to prove that the missing element
of matter...is there....... infinitesimal as it is...

well,
think of it this way...
Electricity was discovered by science and experimenting w/ no practical use right away....
