CERN: LHC could prove the existence of extra dimensions as early as next year

[QUOTE=petieng;26111289]The CMB is pretty much the skeleton of the Big Bang. Again, maybe you should read about what evidence there actually is before saying there's not enough.[/QUOTE]
Enough to say beyond a reasonable doubt.
[QUOTE=Paramud;26111308]Enough to say beyond a reasonable doubt.[/QUOTE]
My point still stands.
There's always a reasonable doubt. Everything we know about science can be disproved by a breakthrough tommorrow.
Nothing can be proved, nothing can be disproved.

[QUOTE=Jiyoon;26105194]well electricity is practical and will prolong my life in some cases
Proving the existence of other dimensions isnt practical, it's just an interesting fact that we spent x billion dollars on. I think there are a lot more practical things we could be doing with our money and our technology right now

would knowing the "secrets of the universe" make me an ounce happier? I doubt it. it's pretty much useless information[/QUOTE]
The money spent on gaining knowledge is totally irrelevant. Knowledge is more or less timeless and helps. Who doesn't get it shouldn't be allowed to use modern technology.

[QUOTE=Jiyoon;26105696]I do realize that I dont give 2 shits about electromagnetic induction.[/QUOTE]
If you don't give 2 shits about it, please remove your bycicle's dynamo, your harddisk, your car's alternator, your analogue clocks, your speakers and headphones, your .... Because they use it. I think you now give "2 shits" about it that someone else once "gave a shit" about it so you can now use it. Same applies on the LHC.

[QUOTE=Jiyoon;26105782]I have no idea what electromagnetic induction is, therefore, I could care less. While stephen hawkings is running around spending a fuckton of money on shit like this, there are more important social and political issues that we could actually address.[/QUOTE]
Knowledge is worth any money. $18 billion for the LHC is nothing compared to a western countries economy. Please modify your statement and replace any science based word by e.g. the Iraq War or similar shit. Then you were right.

[QUOTE=Jiyoon;26105835]Im sorry that Im not a physics major, I have better things to do[/QUOTE]
Then please be so kind and understand our points instead of just saying "bah, I don't give a fuck about it so [b]it has to be useless[/b]". If you don't understand it (which you just have corroborated), don't judge it or gain the (basic) knowledge until you can judge.

[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;26107897]Actually I'm pretty sure that God is an unfalsifiable concept which means you can't disprove or prove his existence.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it is more or less. That's why there is such a controversy about it. I'm Christian but with my physics background, it is hard for me to believe in higher being (which may exists or not - who knows). Still I respect those who believe in god and all I want is that some fundamentalists (or trolls) stop saying "bah, science is bullshit - believe in god" - Because we (scientists) don't do this.

compared to jiyoon anyway
I think I'm gay for aVoN
Whenever aVon posts it makes me happy, not only because he always has something awesome to say but also because of [img]http://avatars.fpcontent.net/image.php?u=47567&dateline=1231596616[/img]
aVoN is just pure win. There's really nothing that can be done about that.
:love:
this thread is now about singing aVoN's praises I guess :confused:
I'd suck aVoN's huge cock.
