i doubt anyones going to read this post, so this is just for my benefit.
i read the article the day this post was assigned. i think remember most of it.....well just the general picture maybe. the finer details, about the workings of the different particles and the quarks and the other fella kinda sorta very faintly made sense. but i was also watching the tv while i read the article so i might not have been paying much attention to process what i was reading.
on a another note, i though it was cool they could make a thing that huge and under the ground, kinda sounds like an old cold war nuclear fallout place where the government would go if there was a nuclear war. i read a lot about the whole "we shouldnt be spending money on thins, we should be using it do help the poor or fix our economy." well this one is in france, and frankly i dont care how they spend their money. if we built one here in the u.s. thatll be kinda cool i guess, cuz then wed have one too and it would be like a race to find the one particle that supposedly started it all. i remember as i read the part of the article when they described the atoms being shot through the tunnel at close to the speed of light, i thought to myself "what would happen if a human or whatever was in the tunnel at the same time the atoms were being propelled around and around and around?" would you die? would the atoms rip through you? would you not notice anything? would the atoms miss you completely? i doubt the scientists are going to test that one.
the thing that is hard for me to understand is the whole "so small you cant imagine" cuz i cant imagine things that small, its litteraly mind boggling to try to conceive of its existance. its like thinking of outer space. its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big and is there even a boundry? does it go on forever? is there anything beyond it? does space turn about on itself, like if i kept going in one direction forever would i eventually return to where i started? when you talk about things such as this and how they act, its almost like magic, it works and behaves in ways we dont understand.
