Warning to all meatbags! 790 says that a type 13 planet that usually destroys itself at its particular stage, either by war or by being unintentionally condensed into a pea sized object by scientists trying to find the mass of the Higgs Boson particle!
-that was a lexx reference, couldn't help myself, few people will understand
I work for fermilab, and i'm going to the pajama party. Dont know if im gonna sleep there or not...some of the physicists get a little rowdy.

Man those guys (and gals) like to talk about stuff way over my head...and play ping pong...lots of ping pong...
Hahaha, thats a given
See above responseAnd then go get drunk again when the full start happens.
There is a bar at Fermilab....
One of the things I learned in college, apparently physicists are very fond of beer.
Not only do they like beer, but wine and cheese gatherings (Held every Friday afternoon at 3:30 )
Wow the end of the world happens on my birthday. It is all about me after all
I know you're being facetious, but according to Steven J. Gould, the main reason there is no evidence of any extra terrestrial intelligence in the entire observed universe is because multicellular life is extremely unlikely to evolve. It took over two billion years for the first multicellular organisms to evolve from single cells here on earth, and that was probably under the most favorable conditions. Let's say that life itself arising on another planet under earth-like conditions isn't too difficult and happens within a billion years of a planet's formation. But if multicellular life requires ideal conditions that mostly only occur after four billion years on an earth-like planet, then it's not likely we would see another civilization arising in our galaxy since we would need: A. a location in the galaxy not too close to the center (a greater likelihood of supernovas occurring close by) or too far out (not enough heavy elements available for the more complex cellular machinery); B. a metal rich main sequence star not too much larger than our sun (too large and it burns out before multicellular life can form) or too much smaller (smaller habitable zone and more likely to flare, destroying multicellular life on the planet). "A." leaves us with about 2 billion candidate stars and "B." reduces that to about 150,000 candidate stars (1 in 13).
there is no such thing as a vacuum. There are multitudes of neutrinos passing through every cubic inch of space each second. They only weakly interact with normal matter but would certainly be captured by a black hole. We are also surrounded by dark matter, which we dont even remotely understand, other than to know it has mass. Again, we cannot assume that there will be no interaction or accretion of this material. So we are back to hoping for the best. Seems prudent to me to get a handle on what dark matter and dark energy really are, as well as figuring out the mass of the neutrino before we start playing around with black holes, which are not going to be containable, or even affected by any magnetic field.
And they didn't tell me when I was there in May 2003. What a shame, although I was underage at the time
. You should believe me because, even though I'm not a doctor, I do play one on TV.Since we haven't found the remotest evidence for strange matter in any previous collision experiments, or even evidence for quark stars anywhere in the universe from naturally occurring collisions, I'd say the possibility of the LHC forming strangelets is pretty close to nil.
We only have one example of where life formed in the universe, so naturally most assumptions and conjectures of life elsewhere will be based on that. A pretty poor sampling indeed, but that's all science has to work with.
