hmmmm, to the previous comment.
Optimism is a good quality, but controlled optimism. That is optimism with a little skepticism is also good. Time travel? Backwards in time text messeging. I like that, I can text myself who wont the Stanley Cup and then bet on it.

You actually mentioned that there is evidence of the “end times” and then 2 sentneces later said “these are some of the general facts involved, and nothing more”.

Glad i carry my Carl Sagan issued baloney detection kit with me.

Prepare for the revolution, within ALL BRANCHES of science, technology, communications, . . . etc., and anything else you can think up! The answers to many theories are at hand, such as: The Big Bang, Bubble Universe(s), Accelerating Universe, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Parallel Dimensions (Multiverse), Gravity, Time, Unified Superstring, Supersymmetry Particles, Higgs Particle, Anti-Matter, Wormhole Formation, Blackhole Formation, AND MANY MORE! CERN LHC/ALICE/ATLAS, if all goes well, should begin rendering discoveries, between October 2008, and early-mid 2009! This will reconstruct large sectors within the ‘Standard Model’, which shall start a chain-reaction, that will ignite the mega-revolution. This could completely reconfigure the current Cosmological Model, and change everything right down to your perception of the view through your telescope at night!!! A Brave New World shall emerge from the ashes of our latest Dark Ages, without the shadow of past theoretical-mathematic representations (guessing) about the ‘Standard Model. The antiquated precepts (and this is what LHC is based/built upon), could only cause confusion and madness, which arguemented against a clear view! Clarity may prevail, and change everything! The LHC has already pre-planned a decade of precision energy upgrades (2009-2019), and this should render even more specific information! This could lead to a controlled and sustainable Nuclear and Plasma Fusion process, which would meet our future-world desperate energy needs!!! Also, this process would make possible Plasma-Driven Pulse-Detonation Fusion-Reactor-Engines, for Interstellar Spaceflight. With this type of magnitude power, put through a superconductivity step-up complex, this could make possible Time-Travel; or at least emergency electronic messaging, backward in Time! We cannot stay on Earth as a ‘race’ forever, that is impossible, because the odds are incredibly high, for the Sixth Mass Extinction to begin in our life-time! Some say we have entered the ‘End-Times’, and there are signs of just that!!! The serious debate must continue, within the public forum, this is our right and obligation to our future generations!?! Debate the risk potentials v/s the unimaginable outgrowth potentials, and if the answer is yes to proceed, then do so with extreme caution!!! In this comment, I am neither for, nor against; however, these are some of the general facts involved, and nothing more! I sincerely hope you share this expanding view, with as many friends and associates as you possible can! Thank You!

To SecularEarth - The whole thing makes me feel a little twinge… to think that there are over 2000 collaborating scientists from all around the world working on this project. They have created a brand new “internet” just to manage and share the data this experiment will provide… I mean, how truly fantastic. Sad to think that there are people in this world who would actually try to stop such a thing. It reminds me of the oppression some of the great minds in our history had to face. One thing is certain, as hard as they try they cannot stop progress. I for one am happy to stand by these modern-day heroes if for no other purpose than to be in the cheering section.

To Mike.e. - I can’t tell if you’re trying to be funny or if you are just trying to provoke some kind of negative response. If your intentions are the latter, I feel confident saying that I don’t think you’re going to get any kind of argumentative response here. If someone is bored they may take the time to respond to you (like I am) or more likely they’ll probably just ignore the comment. Either way, if you don’t agree with the content here why do you stay? Don’t get me wrong, you are more than welcome here, but I do encourage thoughtful and meaningful comments - that allows us to have an adult discussion on the subject. Childish “na-na-na-na-na” remarks aren’t really paid attention to here.

Cheers,

Moxie.

I’m very excited about this experiment too, as it will certainly be confirmation that the heavens declare the glory of God!

Its sad that these “doomsdayers” don’t realize that science is on their side, for with every new discovery we see God’s amazing handywork!

Well said as usual. This last paragraph:

“This is exciting stuff people! Scientists are very likely about to make discoveries that will take their place along side those such as the law of gravity and the theory of relativity. What an exciting moment in the world’s history! I feel very fortunate to be able to witness this grand and historical event during my lifetime.”

makes a science geek like me feel a little twinge. No I didn’t cry.

It’s also an amazing feat of ingenuity, engineering, and cooperation. CERN’s chart of project milestones from when it was first approved in 1994. There are some great photos in there.

Apparently, they’re throwing the switch in August, and the first collisions should occur a month later.
