CERN Super Collider Just Fired at 13TEV Most Powerful Ever

The results are still coming in this May 21 and here are some comments on the video.  Some are concerned some are excited.

Commenter Diane had this to say:

Here we go again waiting for CERN to turn us inside out and upside down and probably project us to anther dimension through swirly vortices?  Gotta love our ignorance and reference library/bible to add extra nonsense to what we have no control over.  Some one must have some type of control or we would have not been allowed to play with our toys to the point that we have.  IMHO this planet is a jewel in what’s available to inhabit cosmos wide, and tptb will not let us trash it so easily. I could be wrong but at this point…

A commenter from the guardian had an interesting point of view:

Only a handful of people in the entire world understand what the people at the LHC work on. Even most physicists can’t understand it.

We have come to a point in science where it has reached the level of esoteric magic, understandable only to the initiated.

And to make it even more interesting, many scientists think we have gotten onto the wrong tracks entirely with out cosmological thinking, with quantum theory unable to reconcile with relativity and with theory needing constant adjustment and reworking.

I watched an interesting video about the LHC narrated by 3 different scientists — a middle age sceptic, an older true doubter, and a young true believer. The first two seemed to understand the subject every bit as well as the last, but they had very different views of the possibilities of the LHC.

thanks to the guardian for the info
