    We're all gonna die

    It's gonna make a black hole and kill us all!

    Or not, but I think it's pretty interesting as to what we could find out from it, if it ever gets completed

    god lovers will be scared of this - as they are with all change!

    although, you're right, it could kill us - they know nothing about whats going to happen - but u can't stop progress!

    I watched a science programme on channel 4 about 3 years ago on quantam mechanics. I was totally getting it for the first 30mins then it just started making no sense at all. It got so complicated it was hurting my head.

    I did a bit at school and it was abundently obvious that my teachers didn't understand it. Steven Hawkings book 'Universe in a Nutshell' helped a bit, but even the 'basic' stuff about routes photons take is mind boggling :lol:

    That said, it all works - you can predict things to stupidly accurate levels with it, so its not bollocks.
