Can anybody explain this CERN shit to me?

theyre trying to stop some faggot that accidentally made a time machine

basically in the early/mid-20th century there was a revolution in atomic physics that led to the discovery of quantum mechanics and the identification of several elementary particles much smaller than an atomic nucleus.
some rando dude (actually two dudes in two different parts of the world) had this idea
>what if we collided particles at energies even higher than the core of the sun? I wonder if anything comes out!
then they did that, and all kinds of crazy shit came out. once the first few experiments were successfully producing particles that had until then only been theorized about, quantum physicists were off in a race to continually build successively powerful colliders that slammed protons together even harder to get even more exotic shit out of it. tomorrow they’re gonna run the test at the highest energies ever used in a particle collider.
and before you ask there is basically no risk of black holes/dimensional portals/whatever happening as a result of the experiment. I wish life was that interesting. if anything went wrong the machine would likely just shut down
Jayden Martin
Dang, thanks for the clear explanation.
Is there any evidence we know of that points towards branching alternate realities?
Chase Turner
Something Something jews
Jacob Richardson
so it produces particles
okay, I thought it can make my dick bigger
Anthony Thomas
short answer is, nothing has yet proven or disproven multiverses so as far as theories go, that one remains a contender.
Logan Thompson
fricking wish they would
going to lurk this thread.
i know nothing about it, but alternate realities are cool. but i dont know
David Ross
no that’s all completely speculative. the big problem in quantum mechanics is that it’s an incomplete theory aka it only describes specific things at specific sizes, and based on observations it has nothing whatsoever to do with what is currently the most indestructible theory in all of physics: einstein’s theory of relativity.
some quantum physicists insist that it’s actually relativity that’s wrong (these people are schizos plz avoid), and some quantum physicists waste their time coming up with batshit pet theories to connect QM and relativity, and that’s where you get shit like string theory and the multiverse etc. etc. but it’s all totally speculative and based in complex theoretical math. things that are impossible to test in real life and have absolutely nothing to do with observations or irl measurements
Carter Parker
if you stick your dick in the collider while it’s running it’ll definitely make your dick bigger. from tumors. and then it’ll rot off and you’ll die of cancer see pic related

I thought it was a gay nigger demon portal thanks for clearing that one up for me user
Grayson Lee
Interesting. Good to know. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, anons.

he's still alive though

In short:
They collide particles (mainly hydrogen due to it being the smallest and most abundent atom) at obscenely high speeds to observe the reactions. the energy and particles they let off, all stuff far too complex to explain on Any Forums. Blackholes aren't a threat due to the insanely low mass of the collided matter, Hawking radiation would take that shit out in fractions of fractions of a second and any other time travel/multiverse shit is sheerly speculative and hyped up by pop-science journels and random news headlines. Dumbasses attribute mass misremberings like the mandela affect (A well documented social phenomenon derived from the reconstructive nature of human memory and the power of memetics) to them doing some Marvel multiverse fuckery there. This along with people talking about time travel, demons, dimensional tears etc. Are scientifically illiterate doofuses larping as experts while showing theur caveman like fear of scary science stuff while Dunning and Kruger roll in their graves. It is just the PHD version of "what happens if I just kind of shove this shit together really hard"

Well said
Carson Young
thanks user I’m a total loser irl but learning about astrophysics and cosmology is literally the only thing that brings me joy. good to know I know it well enough to teach it to the laymen
do you expect any new discovery will come from tomorrow’s test? I don’t but I’m still excited they’re doing it. I’m more excited for the first data dump from JWST tho. it sounds like they’ve got a lot more a lot sooner than I expected
Luke Rivera
A bunch of eggheads are playing God and are going to open a portal to a dimension full of hostile extraterrestrials, a la Half Life.
Keep your crowbar handy.
John Green
I'm only well informed enough to know the general basics and am trying to builf up my understanding of the older fundamentals before I chase an understanding of the cutting edge. No clue that they are doing a new test. I'll check out the results now that I know though

you lookin to get your dick sucked? cause ill suck your dick.
good read.
lets fuck
Hunter Jenkins
no thanks user I’m happy jerking off to dried bukkake milky cat vids. ppl scare me too much to do sex things with them
but I’m flattered you offered
Michael Sanders
shane dawson?
Elijah Bailey
I wasn’t gonna reply until I saw the sweet digits, so know that they have been witnessed.
anyways what about shane dawson? idek who that is lol. I just googled it is he like another youtube vlogger?
Landon Reyes
Good post overall, but if you’re going to invoke Dunning-Kruger you shouldn’t caps-lock-cruise-control PhD
Aaron Baker
>anyways what about shane dawson?
He fucked his cat.
