There are almost no posts on my forum. Its easy. I set up a forum just to bring the "end of the world" people so I could address their fears. Its kinda worked. I have a very nice, concerned, intelligent person who has gone back and forth and its been fun. It has been a great thread to help lay...

Hehehe... Well you do have a point... Along with a great smiley to make your point. No dispute that the masses would produce masses of incorrect answers and waste time, resources and energy. But, what if,,, hahahaha,,, the real big answer was out there !.. hheheheh... Yes I know... Don't...

Well this is certainly a spirited discussion. I am trying my best :) Just for the record again. I do not believe there are any more talented people then the ones working in every aspect of the LHC project. Are all of us human ? can any of us miss something or make a mistake ? Of course. Its...

"During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne." http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/einstein-bio.html Spare time... kinda sounds like a novice to me ? No ?

Sorry.,... I got really overloaded with several aspects of the new site. It got VERY popular very quickly.. MANY emails from press and from CERN guys. Everybody loves the site. It has been great fun watching the LHC team's success and right on schedule. In fact maybe early :) Ok...

I am also kinda offended.. But its ok. Its what forums are for, debate.. I -AM NOT- saying that the most brilliant people in the world in physics, who currently have created the LHC, are anything, but, well brilliant. Not to mention ALL the people who created every aspect of every part of the...

See sometimes novices can be helpful. At least NASA thinks so http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,28348,26367998-5014239,00.html

I agree.. Sorry if I refereed to RAW data. Im not really talking about raw data. However, you do never know. Stranger things have happened I suppose.. Im talking about semi processed stuff. Triggered possible interesting LHC events. I am talking about maybe a different interpretation of a...

BTW... I completely enjoyed the rant you provided a link to. It was all so true. Self Appointed Experts are a plague. Sorting them out from the actual amateur who has done thought and research is hard. But who knows. Scary as it might be, maybe a Self Appointed Expert might stumble across...

What I am saying is that sometimes it takes both polished, experienced, top notch experts AND amateurs novices to advance science. The LHC is one of man's must stunning achievements. It took the combined skill, knowledge and experience of the very best people in the world to achieve it. Those...

Of course... I am playing devils advocate of course.. I have HUGE respect for the entire community that brought about CERN and the thinkers who shape physics today. BUT I am suggesting that throughout time science has been blinded many times to new ideas by being overly caught up in...

Marcus, I hear you... AND it just so happens that the above quoted line is exactly what I want to do. The other was just a crazy thought... Hmmm... but still... hehehehe...

hehehehe... all of the above ? Viral... It was like one emailer sent my site to 3 more who each sent it to 3 more.. In the space of hours I had 60 IP's all located in the vicinity of CERN. None had referers. It then slowly moved out to the other universities and companies collaborating with...

You know... maybe just like they need a million computer CPUs all working on the collision data to detect interesting events.. Maybe they need millions of people looking at the data to find interesting events as well... I forgot the name of that project that got the public into looking at...

Alas... This may be true. Well I can't see any links that are open, or have ever been open, that were science related. The science discussions are all seriously locked down tight. As they are at all facilities like this. The only open links I can find are simply hardware status and...
