so what, you still are impossible to reason with
20 years is a long time, i think you're up for a renewal dose...

None of the above is a statement of fact,

I think regardless of the outcome of the Cern experiments, the actual results will not be released to the public. Especially if it's a dud.

Taking LSD is not the answer, big guy.

I'll be happy to tell you about my last 'trip', however, as it was somewhat related to this topic.

1) Why? Are you aware that almost everything in science is available to you are little to no cost? Heck, you could sign onto any of a dozen or so e-journals right now and watch science happen daily, across a dozen fields of research.
2) There is no such thing as a "dud" in science. There's a null result, which is just as valuable (maybe even MORE so) than a positive result.

oh yeah Trekk, as if they can keep a public funded, non military, project off this scale secret
the whole point of it , is so all these scientific big cheeses can publish the results

That's what theoretical physicists do, they publish theories and the proof if they find it...


and you can keep your messed up , unfounded fantasy fairytale answer to yourself... i don't care about it, and i definitely don't feel like going in PM mode with you to hear about frigging Jehova. allready told you i don't care about such nonsense, and i don't care about going private to discuss it in more detail... stop your pigheaded attempts to convert everyone...it's borderline offensive

trekkor 09-08-2008 09:26 AM

Stijn, put down the 'brown'. :D

I never brought up religion in this thread or suggested going into 'PM mode' with you.
I asked you if you wanted to hear about my 'acid trip' from 22 years ago.

Paranoid, are we?

That's hardly a religious statement, unless we've spoken on the topic previously.
It alonef, in the context of this thread, shows my position relating to 'black holes' appearing and swallowing the earth due to the Cern experiments going wrong, is not a concern of mine.


You are an unusual fellow. I remember quite a few of you combative posts in the past.
The one about answering your door in the nude was troubling. :D

Chuck Norris actually invented the theory of relativity but when Einstein claimed it was his idea, Chuck roundhouse kicked him so hard he turned into Steven Hawking. True story! ;)

sammyg2 09-08-2008 11:17 AM

Chuck Norris saw that the nothingness was doing nothing and he got annoyed. He round-house kicked the nothing and said "get a job!" and that's how the big bang happened nad the universe was invented.

sammyg2 09-08-2008 11:19 AM

One time Chuck Norris kicked some sub-atomic particles so hard they created a rip in the time-space continuum and his foot went back in time and killed Amelia Earhart over the pacific ocean.

Is this a science thread or another "it's all guesses" thread from someone who believes 100% in Noah's flood :rolleyes:

sammyg2 09-08-2008 02:16 PM

LOL, there are literally hundreds of saying like that about our man Chuck, I remembered a few and thought they were humerous and appropriate to this thread given the circumstances. It seems to me that they were no less relevant or realistic than some posts so far. No offense to anyone was meant, it just struck me as funny.

Regarding the original thread, I have a little bit of knowledge on the subject but am a far cry from anything like an expert.
But ....... I really don't think we are capable of doing any harm with this kind of experiment.
We just aren't that powerful and our technology is way too limited to create a significant black hole or change the physical universe or anything like that. We just aren't that big of a deal and the energy required to do any damage to the fabric of the universe is pretty much beyond our technology or capability.

Using the collider to create a test that will result in milliseconds worth of data that will be analyzed and used to scrutinize a theory doesn't worry me in the least.

David, are you aware that there is a significant amount of evidence that Noah's flood did happen and happened right around the time the bible says it did?
The current scientific theories indicate it was not a global flood but covered nearly all of what is now the middle east, pretty much the known world at the time. I can probably dig up[ some links if you are interested.

They didn't even realize any of this until they started studying the region from satellites.

there are lots of folks out there who hate it when science actually agrees with the bible in some way.

sammyg2 09-08-2008 02:34 PM

Caution, hijack in progress:

A source for the stories of Noah's flood
The catastrophic deluge that entered the Black Sea
(available at amazon.com)

Quotations
"The [Black Sea] flood is a fascinating story, all the better for being told by working scientists. What comes across clearly is the thrill of discovery....The mixture of disciplines and ways of doing science is exhilarating and paints a realistic picture of the way research works." Sue Bowler of the New Scientist.

"...an interesting and provocative story.... a detective story that rollicks along, sweeping up everything in its path..." Richard Ellis, The New York Times Book Review

"The Sumerian 'Deluge' story, the Akkakian 'Atrahasis' epic, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and Noah's Flood are 7000 year old echoes of this awesome event." A book reviewer from Arlington VA on the Amazon.com web site

Overview
Two senior scientists from Columbia University have proposed a theory that a massive transfer of water occurred about 5600 BCE - over seven and a half millennia ago. They wrote: "Ten cubic miles of water poured through each day, two hundred times what flows over Niagara Falls." "The Bosporus flume roared and surged at full spate for at least three hundred days." 60,000 square miles of land were inundated.
The Black Sea shoreline significantly expanded to the north and east. The lake's its water level was raised many hundreds of feet. It changed from a fresh-water landlocked lake into a salt water lake connected to the world's oceans.

They have drawn on the findings of experts in agriculture, archaeology, genetics, geology, language, development of textiles and pottery, etc. They postulate that this deluge had catastrophic effects on the people living on the shore of the Black Sea. It triggered mass migrations across Europe and into the Near East, Middle East and Egypt. It may have been the source of many flood stories in the area. Some researchers believe that the story of Noah's flood in the Biblical book of Genesis had its origin in this cataclysmic event.

A book by William Ryan and Walter Pitman describes one of the most fascinating scientific puzzles of recent years. We found it far more riveting than any detective novel.

Religious significance
About 300 cultures around the world have stories of a massive flood. Jews, Christians, muslims, ancient religions and writings (The Sumerian 'Deluge', the Akkakian 'Atrahasis', the Epic of Gilgamesh etc). in fact every piece of historical writing from that region and timeline that I have found includes a story of the great flood.

Now, are they all wrong and you are right?
Or maybe, just maybe there might be something to it?

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming .......

:rolleyes: And I thought Noah's flood had been debunked so thoroughly on ITAG and elsewhere that it couldn't possibly be resurrected. The delusional power of wishful and magical thinking is unlimited.

The main physical evidence for a major flood in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea is quite large. But all it supports is a possible source of the totally fantasy based myth in the bible. Science does not support the idea or "fact" that:

God did it.
It was a world wide flood.
It rained for 40 days and nights.
The water covered the highest mountains.
Noah built an ark.
Noah carried 2 of each animal on board.
Etc., etc., etc.

So, in short, science has not supported any of the tall tales found in the bible concerning the "Flood". So I corrected your closing statement for you.

"there are lots of folks out there who hate it when science actually dis-agrees with the bible in some way."

Significant amount of evidence? Really? You obviously forgot the green text. Of course a small, local flood is not what the bible describes. There have been lots of small global floods. No one disputes that. The bible describes the story of a fallible tyrant who screwed up his lab experiment and killed off his creation to start over again. I don't see any evidence for that.

Seric 09-08-2008 03:17 PM

That was no flood, that was Chuck Norris taking a leak.

It’s an “it’s all guesses” thread. Everyone knows the LHC can’t destroy the world, as we all know it’s going to end in 2012 as predicted by the Mayan calendar. :rolleyes:
