Crimson Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I got my contacts today. I must say, they're quite comfortable. However, they sort of stretch my eyelids up and outwards, so it looks like I have huge eyes now. Even bigger than my already-big-for-Asian-people eyes. It's rather scary to look at myself in the mirror. Quote Create A Professional-Looking Product Advertisment Mockup flickr | Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I now sit in front of a shiny, new, unopened box containing a Canon Rebel XT. Oops...ok, now it's not unopened. Shredded box is more like it. Yes, yes, it's a double post. Shoot me.

worldnewser Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Anyone ever hear of the LHC? (I sure didn't, until a little while ago...) Stands for "Large Hadron Coverter". Usually, I'd recommend the wiki article for it (LHC (Wiki this)) and just tell you to read up about it , but there's a lot of science jargon (much that I don't understand either...) What I do know is that they're going to start the thing up on September 10th. What's so important about that? Well because it's a particle accelerator it smashes protons together. Smash them at just the right conditions, and it'll become unstable and you have.... ...A micro black hole. :shock: Of course, this is just one of many possibilities that might occur. But it is a scary thought, right? I don't think I'd wanna die from black hole disintegration .

Crimson Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Well, if a black hole really appears, at least I won't have to turn in my super-hard English project >_> Quote Create A Professional-Looking Product Advertisment Mockup flickr | Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 A micro black hole will be completely harmless. The odds of a stable black hole forming are astronomically disproportionate. Here's some good reading on the subject: http://cosmicvariance.com/2008/08/04/wh ... -lhc-find/ @worldnewser: I've known about the LHC for years. Don't count on the startup date too much: the last one came and went without anything happening. Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Mike Ryan Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 What noobs I watched the documentary on that thing (called the Big Bang Machine) and they said that the actual chance of that happening is going to be the most rarest thing that could happen and even if it did its lifetime would be extremely small due to the size posing no threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 According to the above article, the odds of a black hole forming are about 0.1%. (1 in 1000) The odds of a stable black hole that could do ... bad stuff, 10^-25%. (0.0000000000000000000000001%) Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If something of terrible detriment comes from this, I couldn't think at this moment a better way to topple the mortal coil. (Well, I could, but not to be said here on the Forums.) I mean, it's a micro-blackhole. A blackhole. How many people up to this date can say: 'Yeah, well, I was disintergrated by a blackhole'? Why can't people see how awesome our demise would be as a species? Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 How many people up to this date can say: 'Yeah, well, I was disintergrated by a blackhole'? Well, I think you'd be thoroughly dead at that point, so the tally will always be zero. QED.

Myrddin Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I can't argue with that. But the point is, no matter how flawed my example was, is that extinguishment of life via blackhole would be somewhat incredible. A rather unknown fate that awaits us, the exploration of such a death is one to be esteemed, even with the definitive end that follows. Matters not if only a few seconds exist between the witness of someone's death by blackhole and the observer's, it remains that curiosity would be quenched and a few questions answered - not all, mind. It would be a fascinating situation to be in. I do understand that fatality ensues, and the tragedy of the Human race falling to its knees in extinction, and it is for me, to a certain extent, a saddening prospect. But truly, an interesting scenario all the same. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I wonder what really happens if we do get sucked into a blackhole. Do we like die from breathing failures or do we get sucked into a vortex and blasted into oblivion? Quote Yes, I'm a fan. ;] | My Gallery| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Well, no-one will ever really know exactly what happens, as the object falling in a black hole is never seen again. I'd say, due to the large gravitational forces at the heart of the black hole, the object just disintegrates into atoms, which can't be seen unless you use a electron microscope or something - that is if you could get close enough.

Bobofthedead Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 No, we get ripped to our constituent atoms and subatomic particles by the immense gravitational force of the singularity. I hate to break it to anyone, but if there is something in/behind/through that singularity, then we won't be around to watch. Besides, matter gets leaked out of the black hole at a tiny rate, as energy in the form of Hawking Radiation (Wiki this). It would be a great way to go though, I do agree with you, Myrddin.

No, better yet, a machine can find God? :shock: He might get angry that we found him and then destroy us in rage I'll stick to just praying to him, thanks. Oh, and I take back what I said last night.

Crimson Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I lurve (yes, LURVE) my new camera. Just like Jake when he got his. Except his is better. Ah well. those were at 25% resolution. These are at 100%... I'm not a very good photographer, but these pictures are still pretty dang sexy.
