Have we been sucked into a black hole yet?

Yes but I'm better now :zombiefuck:

Black holes are nothing to worry about. Better that than to be sucked into a brown one.....  :green:

There are some who prefer those. :P

Wouldn't we be static if we were on the event horizon?

No. We'd be more dynamic than ever.

i think it's all been a huge let down.  i mean, the bloody thing was "half way round" for what felt like ever, they haven't even collided anything yet (the last time i heard, before i got bored), and no-one has been sucked anywhere.  ::)

er...

i suspect i'll get a few rejoinders to that last comment.  :laugh:

I was about to say that. :P

No. We'd be more dynamic than ever.

Not at once. It would be more of an on-going effort.

Thinking of the masses involved, I thought I would surely wink out in less than an instant compared to the rest of the matter in the vicinity.

... or are you talking about some kind of collective consciousness?

Maybe he should get some glasses, and make the experiment redundant.......

Best SF novel I ever read on the subject: Fremder by Russell Hoban (Riddley Walker)

Brilliant, brilliant book. And now all too easy to find cheap.

There was a movie on the sci-fi channel about some secret govt. project that creates a black hole and the heroes and heroines that save the day.  I wonder if all the fear/rumor mongering and stupidity was inspired by this movie.  The reason I say this is, a lot of the movies made for the sci-fi channel were obviously intended for the movie theaters, but, must have been so abysmally bad to never get there and go directly to a secondary channel on cable tv.    ::)

Yes, it happened at 5:17 am GMT.   We are currently living in a completely different reality, although we didn't sense our own passing.....

The main experiment hasn't even been done yet, the media are absolute idiots thinking that it was collision day. On September 10th, they only powered up the LHC, and tested the main 27km circular track by injecting low energy protons into it to see if they would spin around the whole track properly. They haven't been began the real experiment yet.

They still need to calibrate the magnets to precision and ensure it's perfect to even allow a collision to occur. So in about two months the real collision experiment occurs (but not at full capacity, only at 5TeV, as oppose to full power at 7TeV, which will be done next year).

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.
