Seems like you have a bit more time, according to our resident Nuclear Physicist, Ed Hartouni, over on Supertopo:

 

"hey Juan, if the LHC destroys the world on Wed, it will actually happen on Tue because they will collide beam early so that they know it will happen during their press conference...

 

If, in fact, we (I'm one of the eggheads) destroy the planet, I'll take you out for a beer.

 

 

Also, it will take more than a nanosecond... the fastest it could happen is the diameter of the earth, 41,851,445' divided by the speed of light... 1 ns/ft, that's more like 42 milliseconds, tops!

 

If it is the speed of sound it takes even longer, what's the speed of sound in the earth? You know that number I'm sure. "

 

"actually, I don't think you have to worry about tomorrow...

here's why: they will start to commission the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) by injecting beam into one of the rings... then circulate the beam in that ring. Then they will do it in the other ring... that will take 6 days.

 

Then they will take the beams to 450 GeV (which is less than Fermilab's Tevatron) and do a bunch of measurements... that will take 9 days

 

They'll then setup for collisions at 450 on 450, still less than Fermilab... another 13 days.

 

Finally, they will setup for collisions at 7 TeV... so maybe by the end of the month there will be collisions in the ring that have never occurred on earth before in a laboratory. These collisions happen all the time with cosmic rays hitting the earth, however...

 

You can check on progress at the LHC Commissioning home page

 

Lots of time to drink pints and choose your favorite towel...

...and work on the improbability drive...

 

Don't worry, be happy."

am i the only one sorta-kinda-really hoping this thing does indeed bring a fucking end to the world? just kinda? i've been putting off all my chores n' whatnot for a couple days just in case...it would really suck to clean the goddamn garage only to see the whole thing get sucked into a fucking black hole, no?

Mike,

 

Hello, I am from approximately two months in the future. On 10/22 at approx 2:34am CET a tachyon

field failure in the main resonating ring of the LHC causes a "temporal blowback". Shortly

thereafter, the resulting destruction of the strong nuclear force causes the world to vaporize in

seconds, while a few of us near the experiment are thrown into a temporal causality loop. While

the predestination event (or as we have come to call it "The Big Rewind") hasn't occurred yet to

you, for us it is about three years in our past. I came across your site looking to see if there

were any other scientists that may have theorized this phenomenon who may be of assistance in

preventing it. This brings me to my point, I have repeatedly checked your site for the past five

rewinds at 2:34:01 CET and it still says nope, believe me at this point the LHC has most assuredly

destroyed the world. I can provide a bank account in Nigeria for the funds to be placed. I am

curious to the exact amount however.
