The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

The Large Hadron Collider Gets Into Action.

LHC research programme gets underway

Quote:

Geneva, 30 March 2010. Beams collided at 7 TeV in the LHC at 13:06 CEST, marking the start of the LHC research programme. Particle physicists around the world are looking forward to a potentially rich harvest of new physics as the LHC begins its first long run at an energy three and a half times higher than previously achieved at a particle accelerator.

Nature magazine blog: Collisions at LHC! Has a depiction of a 7-TeV collision event in the LHC's ATLAS detector. They've run their beams for 4 hours, collisions and all, before they had to stop. The LHC will be able to probe some new physics that its predecessors had gotten tantalizingly close to. Possibilities like:

Higgs particles
Supersymmetry partners
Extra-dimension effects

And the world did not end.

And the world did not end. Well, actually proving that the world did not end may be a tall order as it will take an infinite amount of time for the black hole to grow to any size that should concern us.

DAMN! I was hoping all that hype about the collision would lead to a parallel universe in which I was getting my dick sucked by Angelina Jolie. DAMN REALITY!

Oh quit your whining, this is only print and you haven't seen a picture of my face. NOW that would be really scary for you.
