Last wednesday..the world cheered and shivered for the initial testing of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)...such an expensive toy..costing near US7 billion...a circular 27 km underground tunnel or I can say lab...and pundits claiming as doomsday weapon..within couple of month..the einsteins of the world will try to imitate the big bang..the beginning of the universe...with the possibilities of creating dark matter or worm hole that can suck an entire planet...no biggie...small price to pay for science...so unless everybody has a personal space ship in the garage sitting idle..its a good time to check the fuel and warm up the engine...to the rest of us commoners...we're screwed....
And yesterday...a group of hackers managed to penetrate their systems and one step away from controlling one of the LHC systems....
Call me cynics but when men try to play god...it won't end well...many have tried...there are consequences..maybe not today..but in the near future...

Scientifically people can work wonders and can try to act like God. As much as a human mind can imagine, there's always a limitation. Though Einstein did quoted "Imagination is more powerful than knowledge", but still there's still limited capacity.
Try tgk movie Deja Vu (2006), a good movie about how people try to beat the act of nature by time traveling.
Yes,but can men realize their own limitation..or until would it be too late..i still dun understand wat they would get out from this experiment...solving world hunger perhaps? or the next Oppenheimer?
Watched that movie...but i prefer the other time travel movie..i forgot wat's it called..he totally changed the future coz he misplaced a rock in the past..
haha .
i heard about this on the radio.
and for some reason i snorted.
hehe.
i wonder if scientists read sci-fi books. where the world always seem to come to an end because men try to play god. dont they get it ? dont they understand what the sci-fi authors are trying to convey through their work ?!
wah i feel smart .
:D
morgan,
i never thought of that..a good reference indeed...and i'm glad u understand the situation
As most science agencies always say, For the Better of Mankind. Tang mana better tu tak sure. I still can't digest if we can live in the outer space, can we ship the whole kampung into space?
*sigh
