Re: We're Doomed
I've visited Fermilab twice. It's a cool facility. They do the same thing at Fermi that they are going to do at CERN....they accelerate a proton and an antiproton at each other at ~99% the speed of light. It's cool stuff. Is it a recreation of the Big Bang? The Big Bang Theory states that the universe came from singularity...it was an explosion with enough energy to create ALL the matter in our current universe. We're just firing single particles at each other.
We NEED to perform this experiment. It will prove or disprove the validity of the Higgs boson. No Higgs boson means String Theory is bunk. If we disprove String Theory many particle physicists will have to reconsider current models on our Universe. Personally, I'd like science to forward progress on figuring out as much as we can about the universe.
Did you know that your Cathode Tube Ray (CRT monitor/TV) is a particle accelerator?
