End of the world is nigh

[lostagain]

Aww, I had plans later this week for a few days of camping. Do you think if i rang and explained, they might postpone until Sunday?

Heard on the radio that the scientists have been getting death threats along the lines of "blow us all up and we'll kill you".:AR15firin Something fundamentally flawed about their logic!!

Seeing as the end approaches, can I have a pro-rata refund on my BCUK membership fee please !! and no "a cheque in the post" won't do, i need it soon to wrap my tent with tin foil (a well known black hole deflector).

Don’t worry guys .......... all Bushcraft UK members will be safe anyway, as they live in their own little world.
When the big bang comes it won’t even fan the flames on your camp fire.

I think the motto of mankind should be something along the lines of

"but I only wanted to see what happened when I pushed the button"

 

[Hammy734]

Is it just me or is anyone else thinking this is all to similar to Dan Brown's 'Angels and Demons'?

With that in mind, does anyone else think we should warn the Vatican?!

 

[Shewie]

Aahhhh ..... 15 minutes to go and I`m still at work. I was planning to be in my favourite wood with a cup of pine needle tea in my lap about now.

Best nip out for that last ciggy then eh ??

Been nice knowing you all

Hello ??

:sadwavey:

 

[jojo]

Aaargghh. A big black hole has appeared in the garden The dogs are down there, trying to fill it in.........or are they digging it up??

 

[lostagain]

I FOUND IT !!!!!!!

There was a black hole but its effect has been focussed on only a small area, it appears the hole has sucked up the contents of my bank account. I've tried explaining this to the bank but they're not having it. Anyone care to back me up?

 

[littlebiglane]

Hehehe. I have just used it as an excuse to my boss for not getting bothered about doing a piece of work for him ('cos no one will be around to appreciate it).

He was not that amused :AR15firin

 

[gregorach]

Further proof (as if it were needed) that the press will never let the facts get in the way of a good story...

 

[kai055]

Damn it! I'm too old to get my head between my knees and kiss it goodbye again. Why didn't they build it on the moon or in space where it wont bother anyone but them.

if they built it on the moon it would not matter anyway cos it might destory the universe

 

[Shewie]

Apparently the collision which created our universe was only the size of a small coin. Now that`s not very big so what exactly are they hoping to create in this tunnel.

It`s all a bit dodgy if you ask me, 17 miles underground doesn`t exactly fill me with confidence.

I love all this big science - actually rather geekily excited by all this. Mrs Verloc is convinced its the end but I thinks its only the beginning but just in case I will ask Has anyone one here seen the movie Event Horizon?

The tunnel is 17 miles long, but its only 100 metres under ground!:yikes:

 

[John Fenna]

And it is a Welshman in charge of tuning it on.......

 

[Pignut]

Dont worry folks

I carved something very similar out of "green ash" and birch bark, never had a problem with it......................... once I put shed fire out!:thinkerg:

 

[BorderReiver]

1) It will take many,many months of work up and systems testing before they get down to serious experimentation.

2)There isn't enough power even in that thing to do any global harm.

3) The world is going to end sometime, does it matter when? We are all going to die eventually anyway.

4)We wouldn't even hear the bang it would happen so rapidly, so don't worry about it.

 

[John Fenna]

It makes me worry to think that no-one is worried.....

 

[gregorach]

No-one who knows what they're talking about is worried. While the LHC will create the highest energy particle collisions ever observed scientifically, higher energy collisions happen in the upper atmosphere at the rate of billions a day, every day, and have done for the last 4 billion years or so. If such a collision could destroy the world (or even the universe, as some particularly unhinged individuals are claiming), it would have happened already.

It's like worrying about melting in the shower, but not about going out in the rain.

 

[Wayland]

1. They are running late, so they have reduced the testing period to compensate.

2. The scientists say they don't really know what's going to happen, that's why they are doing it.

3. One member of the team said on TV the other day, "The chances of creating a black hole are less than one in a hundred."

4. We could do with creating another universe because we're sure trying to mess this one up.
