I wonder. If they suceed, will it suck the earth into the new universe? I seem to remember a Sci Fi novel about that. Guess we will never, or briefly know!

I just like the little bit about how they may not even be able to tell if it worked. Talk about covering your rear

OMG! What are they doing? (I don't profess to be educated in this field at all or know anything about it)

They are playing with fire! So many things could go wrong, they are playing with the future of our world!

Okay, okay, I am taking a deep breath now! Calming down.... down ....NO! NO! they can't do this!

Now fear of the unknown is making me get hysterical!

Quick get Cap't Janeway on their case! She'll put a stop to this!

AAAHHHH! I can relax now, its under control!

How easliy I am put to rest heh!

You sound like Jeff Goldblum in Independance day! LOL

Talk about covering your rea

! Good one!


If I were them I wouldn't even do it. Who knows, we might soon see strange creatures coming through!! Now we might actually need superman!

They'd probably just wind up creating a universe just as screwed up as this one.

Check out this experiment too. They're slamming protons together at very high velocity to recreate big bang conditions.

I WANNA MAKE A UNIVERSE!
And mine would be cool too!

Pretty presumptuous of them considering they don't actually know what sort of matter may or may not have been involved in the "big bang" or exactly how it happened at all. I still have to ask where the original matter involved in this big bang theory came from in the first place.

Maybe it was some Japanese scientists in another universe.

Me too. Rivers of beer and oceans of wine. Cigar trees. hmmmm

What if there had been a universe that over time was swallowed up by black holes as supernovae exploded. These black holes then combined, becoming more and more massive, and smaller and smaller(from the greater gravity) until they were just a singular point in nothingness, holding all of the mass that had been of that universe.

As it passed through all possible configurations of its being(I think there's some string theory stuff related to this, but I haven't read on it in a while, so I don't remember exactly), eventually one came up that was untenable, and the whole thing burst apart in the big bang.

My limited physics knowledge makes me think of this as possible, though I don't know enough to have an opinion on whether it is plausible.
