watched it live with my entire family, it was a major event. planning to go to a launching with my sisters in Florida shoutout Science!

I was making a funny about u watching the one in 69 not last year lel

going to a launch a dream event of mine too.

As a space nerd who took numerous phys/astrophys courses in uni i always love people talking about CERN opening portals to anothert universe.
as if the interactions they're studying don't happen in space all around the earth constantly

Im glad you have that. Im a big space nerd, I always wanted to see us go back to the moon.

It was an all time memory with my family too. Wonderful u had that experience

it was disorienting to watch at times i totally get it lol so trippy

Cannot imagine what was going through the astronauts heads man

Tunalanches

hahah yeah people talking about the cern stuff is funny

wait until they learn about muons time travelling and s***

trippy s*** happening everywhere

Tunalanches

2mo

oh it did for sure

breaks my heart tbh, i wish more people were into it.

I think in like 100 years people will look at the apathy towards it as ignorance and foolishness

Valentine

2mo

yea we a sciences/teacher household so it was a must and it was amazing to witness

Facts! I would love for them to breakdown what that first thought and feeling was when the ship caught gravity and started pulling you down towards the earth

Without a doubt. You could particularly pluck out the last 10 years beginning in 2016- now and probably until at least 2030 as a period where we just regressed as a people. Choosing ignorance, pride and tribalism over anything else.

People will look back at us and wonder what the f*** we were on

did everyone collectively forget we went to the moon a few weeks ago??
what is this nonesense

Valentine

I’m dead laughing irl lmaoo

bruh I hope you make it to one
need to read into more of what you’re talking about, any references I could look into about that? Sounds mad interesting and I’ve heard about CERN but from conspiracy not the actual facts of the science of it all

Tunalanches

2mo

I know me too

its exciting our lifetimes space exploration chapter is going to be much more accessible in general to interact with. in 20 years theyll be on twitch (or an equivalent) and everything probably lol.

people underestimate how many kids are going to grow up and change the world because theyre inspired by this stuff

Valentine

2mo

the kids are gonna be alright this new generation are very intentional and attentive to life

Tunalanches

they take particles and accelerate them to near the speed of light to collide, so they can for a very brief period of time, study anti matter and whatnot, to progress quantum mechanics.

im just a fan though, so my understanding is very surface level

here's this:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/0806.3414
with a ai summary of the question at hand:

Cosmic rays — protons and nuclei from space, some vastly higher energy than anything the LHC produces — collide with Earth's atmosphere at energies equivalent to a cosmic-ray proton hitting a fixed target with 10^17 eV or more, well above LHC collision energies. This isn't rare: over 3×10^22 cosmic rays with energies at or above LHC-equivalent levels have struck Earth's surface since it formed — roughly a hundred thousand LHC-equivalent experimental programs' worth, and the planet is still here. The difference is entirely about environment, not energy: particle physicists built the LHC specifically to replicate underground, in a controlled way, the collisions cosmic rays cause naturally in the upper atmosphere, and at the LHC, energies are actually smaller than the highest-energy cosmic ray collisions, but they happen in a closely controlled experimental environment, directly surrounded by detectors — that's the whole value-add of a collider: not new physics per se, but reproducibility and instrumentation.

ah so like the hadron collider? really need to dig deeper into reading more about that now that they shut it down before they power it back on in 2030 with new technology

yes! cern is the largest hadron collider in the world. i think its the biggest machine humans have ever built actually.

theres multiple hadron colliders, but cern is the biggest.

(again could be wrong, thats just what i remember)

Valentine

Did not know there were multiple ya’ll are putting me on, deadass excited to nerd out reading. always just thought it was the one and the science was way above my head but I will be researching

Tunalanches

2mo

I watch some science news channels on youtube to keep up with it and let it kinda wash over me, even if i retain like 50 or 70% I find it endlessly interesting :)

really fun to learn about

Tunalanches

2mo

geez if theyre opening black holes and new dimensions and timelines that often in the sky no wonder everything so crazy!!!

Valentine

Link that when you get a chance

Thank you for the information in this messy algorithm and you too @Dankmustard_Mobile frfr

LOL YUP
and cern does have a theoretical possability to create black holes, but they would be so small in scale and would die off from hawking radiation very quickly, and wouldnt be able to grow large enough to swallow anything before they burn off
