Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Liz the Squeak Date: 13 Sep 08 - 04:09 AM My Band - Modes of Limited Transposition Album - New one holds water and the picture - aptly enough - the Higgs Boson thingy! To be honest, I didn't know about it and thus my world is not ending. Bugger. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Donuel Date: 12 Sep 08 - 08:39 AM Due to an unusual temporal flux the first test of the Hadron will be in about 2 weeks. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: MaineDog Date: 11 Sep 08 - 11:03 AM Dan Brown has done considerable research on modern particle physics and potential problems. Read "Angels and Demons" MD |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: SINSULL Date: 11 Sep 08 - 08:43 AM The particles are flying around in both directions now. Just a matter of a few weeks before we see. Very exciting stuff when you are getting updates periodically from the press. But I wonder who gets to sit and watch them go round and round and round like clothes in a dryer. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Rapparee Date: 10 Sep 08 - 10:38 PM Did King Hadron sit in a boson's chair? |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Bill D Date: 10 Sep 08 - 09:10 PM Funny, all the bosons around here seem to be just fine, and....wait...there's something...NO...help! I'm too young and |

Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Dave Masterson Date: 10 Sep 08 - 05:29 PM I wonder how much power this little toy uses? Bet their electricity meter didn't half whizz round when they switched it on. And they tell the rest of us to switch off the stand-by on our TV's because it's a terrible waste of energy? Beam me up Scotty, beam me up... |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: CarolC Date: 10 Sep 08 - 04:42 PM Have some people actually taken the tongue-in-cheek playing around in this thread seriously? My goodness! |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Donuel Date: 10 Sep 08 - 04:33 PM One more cosmological pun and I'll implode. Anyone remember the TV show Time Tunnel? It sure looks like their stage set you don't suppose... |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Rapparee Date: 10 Sep 08 - 04:11 PM My band is going to play Celtic-Cajun Klezmer. Just think of those DJs trying to say, "Kelambakkam: Celtic-Cajun Klezmer" and not injuring themselves in the process. |

Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Bill D Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:41 PM These scares are not new. year, 1952..me, on my paper route, find a tiny tabloid magazine about 4"x6" (well, I picked it up because it had Marilyn Monroe on the cover)..but one article was titled: "Can the H-Bomb destroy the world?" ...the answer: Um...we dunno, but rhetorical questions about it helps sell magazines. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Mrs.Duck Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:24 PM Now I'm really miffed. I was promised the world would end today so I spent all my money! And that Geoffrey is why we haven't got any honest :0) What shoes???? |

Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Paul Burke Date: 10 Sep 08 - 11:30 AM I'm disappointed- I thought it was the Large Hardon Collider. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: SINSULL Date: 10 Sep 08 - 11:06 AM "A waste of a ridiculous amount of money that could be better used. Billions spent on a fun day out for a handful of university bores." I strongly suspect that something similar was said about the first guy to toy with a wheel. Followed by "Nothing good will come of this." Read about the implications..in fact, nevermind. It will probably be a waste of your time. |

'Sides, we got five (5) nuklur selleraters rite here in town and the whole damned Idyho Nashunal Labradory out bout sixty miles from here.

Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Lox Date: 10 Sep 08 - 09:02 AM But didn't you know that tabloid editors understand the science much better than these irresponsible specky geeks and their dangerous experiments? |

Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Ruth Archer Date: 10 Sep 08 - 08:46 AM "Large Hadron Collider, sounds like an Indie Band." The Wikipedia Band Game: 1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2. Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. 3. Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ Middle picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. This may need its own thread... |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Donuel Date: 10 Sep 08 - 08:39 AM I'm listening to NPR intently as they describe the Hadron collider and then they go to a recorded audio of the countdown that occured 4 hours ago; "5 4 3 2 1 0YAAAAY" then the radio went dead. I switched to Pacifica, no signal, I turned off the car radio and came inside. The battery radio did not get any FM stations below 84. They came back 5 minutes later. damn black holes sucked my signals. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Mr Red Date: 10 Sep 08 - 08:36 AM Well - did anyopne feel the earth move? |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: SINSULL Date: 10 Sep 08 - 08:30 AM This will no more end the world than the first atom bomb did. But it does sell papers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Backwoodsman Date: 10 Sep 08 - 08:03 AM All this stuff about it resulting in The End Of The World seems to be grounded less in the science of nuclear physics than in the science of selling tabloid newspapers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: fat B****rd Date: 10 Sep 08 - 04:28 AM Large Hadron Collider, sounds like an Indie Band. It can't be that important The Sun (UK Tabloid) is featuring Posh Beck's new hairstyle. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:37 AM The thread title gave me quite a thrill at first... |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Mr Red Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:24 AM But in the parallel universes it creates I wouldn't have got divorced - because I wouldn't have married "thing". I can't wait to slip into that universe. As they say - use your branes. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: CarolC Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:21 AM Do they ever think of these things when they design their little toys?! |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Paul Burke Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:19 AM Especially if the new one starts exactly where the old one left off- the Universe could come to an end AND WE COULDN'T TELL. |
Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: CarolC Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:13 AM What if they bang a whole new universe into being and it blows this one completely away? |
Subject: BS: Big Bang Day From: Mr Red Date: 10 Sep 08 - 03:10 AM Is that a Higgs Boson you've got in your pocket, or are you just pleased to Big Bang me? Make it quick, there are only 20 minutes left. |
