Ye canna change the laws o' physics Jim

It's hardly for the first time, though. Admittedly this is the highest energy but the 13 TeV headline figure disguises a couple of points: rarely, if ever, will any one collision contain more than a fraction of that energy, so in fact much of what goes on is often at the sub-TeV level (which has been done before). This is why you needed an 8 TeV machine to find a 125GeV (ie about 1/60 of the input energy) particle in the Higgs boson. Similar-energy collisions have taken place previously, at the Tevatron in the USA for example, and while the LHC delivers more of a punch and should give access to some new physics, it's in a similar ballpark really.

And then the other point is that already higher-energy collisions take place naturally anyway, in the form of cosmic rays. Although typical cosmic ray energies are lower than what we can now produce in the lab, a handful of events have been observed producing effective energies 50 times higher than anything in the LHC to date. If such a collision would rip a hole in the Universe, it would have already happened. But it hasn't and it won't.

There is exactly nothing of substance in either of matrixneo's posts -- I dare say most people knew this already, really. Still, it remains kind of exciting to feel part of an international conspiracy.

Matrixneo lives in the Matrix.

"Matrixneo lives in the Matrix."

Unfortunately we ALL do, but some of us have awoken.

Some of us will awake, fear change and prefer the illusion to the truth.

Some have yet to awaken.

Some of us will never awake.

Research this when you have time if you want to know more.

Umm... that's just an analysis of the philosophical questions posed by the movie?

[woofgang]

and some of us will continue to witter mindlessly...

The movie was made by brains who live and are controlled by the system.

Look again jim360, but this time instead of scouring it quickly have a deep look.

In life we are presented with many signs like a wordsearch. To many all they can see is a mixed up jumbled undecipherable shape filled with letters/numbers/code.

But others can clearly see the words, they can read INBETWEEN the lines.

[jim360]

Ah, I see. In other words it says exactly what I say it does, but in some sort of horrible conspiratorial world view you can attach a "hidden" meaning of your own invention to it.

I've already devoted far too much of my time to this crackpottery. Back to my holiday, and then I'll do some proper research on hacking the computer syste -- I mean, B physics -- when I get back.
