Voodish discovered 8 months ago- UPDATED, with must see videos! >>> Will this machine be the end of us all? They are going to switch it on in November 2007! It will create a very small Black Hole; some say we are messing with things that we don't yet fully understand. It is the most complex scientific instrument ever built, known as a Hadron Collider, it promises to recreate the conditions right after the Big Bang. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe. Within these first few moments the building blocks of the Universe were created. The search for these fundamental particles has occupied scientists for decades but there remains one particle that has stubbornly refused to appear in any experiment; named the GOD PARTICLE...

Testing a Time Machine
A: the Hadron particle accelerator c. 2008: Cost: $6bn
B is a Timex kiddies Dinosaur first watch Cost: $14.99.
It's got to be a joke. Funded by the taxpayer. International scientists, who've just spent a bunch of money on the most complex machine ever so as to: (a) create/discover 'the God particle', (b) 'recreate' the conditions at the beginning of Time, and (c) create a small non-threatening Black Hole have just announced that this event - due November 2007 - is to be delayed till next year. Great timing guys. The real black hole is the void into which public funds are slowly seeping. Despite - possibly because of - my not understanding the particle physics or maths involved - and because of an invincible pyrrhonism on my part - a good friend involved in this research was unable to persuade me of the value of such cosmic levels of expenditure. CERN and NASA are kids in a sandpit, with some very expensive toys. For tech heads everywhere though, these vids are extremely cool. For my late great bud see here : http://www.andrewchamblin.org/
Marginal Workings: My personal Time-Lord is not Leon Lederman, charismatic and brilliant as he is, but Immanuel Kant, the sage of Konigsberg who wrote two hundred years ago of 'Time and God' that they were 'indeterminable' questions and therefore undecidable. If I had to define my misgivings - so at variance with the one-way information stream from journalists, scientists, NASA and CERN who patronize the public with their popular science - it is principally with their breathy language, since if that is not to be trusted how can one begin to approach the science? Their scientific telos or 'mission statement' is so plainly carried over by a paradigm shift from theology to technology, with themselves the soothsayers (reassuring us on ultimate origins and endings) that they are hardly to be trusted. Journalists, with barely the time to question these savants, can hardly be expected to check their calculations and ground their shaky metaphysics too. Lazy on most aspects of thinking and happy to take the path of least resistance I hope I'm completely off-beam on this one which is far outside my province. But till then where does that leave the ignorant layman, except ladling out oceans of cash to support the whole speculative edifice?

- woooww! "it promises to recreate the conditions right after the Big Bang. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe."
