Dyne:

One more thing. I'm not smart enough to advance up the physics scale past basic Newtonian Mechanics and some Electricity stuff. However, all the Physics teachers that I have had have made one observation:

The current models and theories we have about our universe are untestable. We cannot really test the Big Bang nor can we really test how big our universe is. We can't really test what happens at a Black Holes event horizon. Most of our current theories on the universe are based on mathematical and computer models. Long gone are the days when Isaac Newton could see an object falling and apply mathematical quantification to that object (gravity!).

Do you know how we know if a star has a planet orbiting it? By looking at the star's wobble, variations in the light coming form the star, and the effects of observable gravity on the system. Since planets cannot emit light we don't know for sure if there is a planet there, we just assume. That is one example of the ambiguity of analyzing our universe.

I consider these particle accelerators to be a rare opportunity; a way to test a standing theory describing the universe around us. Take it or leave it, but I think it is a cool step forward.

Progress is progress. If we get sucked into a black hole it will be one cool way to end our existence.



And on a side note, I wish Neo was here because I know he is the forum's physics guy.
