About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

Seriously, if you were living 200 years ago, I'm sure you'd be lobbying to prevent those crazy scientists and engineers from creating the first railways because you'd be convinced, based on your backward, circumstantial and anecdotal understanding of science, that any human would die if he traveled faster than 30 miles an hour, all based on hearsay gleaned from morons just as ignorant as yourselves.
To the first ignorant wanker, the energy released when the positrons annihilate with electrons can be no more than the energy of the particle beam that generated them in the first place. MORON! So no, there's no danger of world-shattering explosions.
The same comment to the second ignorant wanker, who also expressed his irrational fears about the LHC. Has anyone else noticed that exclusively the people with at least a little bit of scientific knowledge are the ones who say it's safe? The LHC isn't going to destroy the world either. If those puny collisions could generate anything dangerous to the very existence of a planet such as Earth, it would have been gone long before life even had time to develop on it due to cosmic ray bombardment which produces collisions which are billions upon billions of times more powerful (look up "oh-my-god particle") than anything the LHC can do. Then again, you probably believe the world was created in 6 days, or 7 days, or whatever it is you morons believe.
I'll bet you also fell for the "ban dihydrogen monoxide" prank (look it up on wikipedia). Me, I SWIM in the stuff!
