LHC Spies Hints of Infant Universe

techbeat writes "The big bang machine may already be living up to its nickname, writes New Scientist. Researchers on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, have seen hints of what may be the hot, dense state of matter thought to have filled the universe in its first nanoseconds."

    They haven't killed us all /yet/

    Yeah, I'm genuinely at least a tiny bit worried about that one. They're right there, in print, admitting they 'may' have 'accidentally' triggered a 'big bang'.

    Genuine confidence builder, that. Oh, and they 'hope to track it down'.

    This isn't the Millennium Falcon here, fellas, this is our one and only home. Maybe it is completely and totally safe. If it is, fire your PR guy.

    He did die. And yes, before evening came. And then he lived on for 900+ years. Confused? He died spiritually. The Bible tells that man is made of three parts("made in the image of God", ever wonder if that meant God looked like a human?); body, soul(made up itself of three parts - mind, emotion, will), and spirit(in that order, outermost layer to innermost - think of three rings, one inside the other - body is outermost, soul is middle, spirit, the core). The first two were corrupted(also dead, in a sense) when Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, and the last flat-out died. Humans were dead spiritually, and so had no link or business with God anymore - God, being holy, couldn't interact with us without a proxy anymore. That was the meat of Christ's job - restore that link, and on top of that, make it better. Besides a number of other things just as important that I'm too lazy to post, but there, you have the main idea.

    Hilarious! For someone who asked me for a citation, you sure are good at tossing out unsubstantiated crap! How about backing up any of that ad hoc tripe with some empirical evidence? Can you do anything aside from quote your single source?
