The 5 Scientific Experiments Most Likely to End the World

Simon:
Glad you spelt that right, Gill!  ;D

Reno:
I don't see a good cost to benefit ratio in the collider at this point. I mean they could have spent the same amount of money on energy research or medical research. Purely academic research is important, but I don't think its that important. The God particle has waited billions of years, it can wait for 10 or 20 more. At least until the world has a handle on its current problems.

Hopefully I'll have the money to invest my way into some molecular nanotechnology companies by the time the first prototype assemblers come online. I think the government will go into overdrive regulating nanotech when the public realizes the possibilities. If you aren't quick enough to get it when it's new and relatively unrestricted then i think most people will be SOL.

Btw what is phutt? Urban dictionary only had one definition and it was retarded.

Well CERN has a tendency of producing some wonderful technology... you and I would not be speaking on here if it wasn't for this academic research.

You forgot to add "New Labour" to that list  ':|


They've already ferked up the UK so World beware!  :devil: :)x ;)

I think you call them firecrackers (we call them bangers), but if you can imagine how a damp one might go off - that's a phutt!
