    oh what! not everyones a physics. Men learn
    how to teach a little better. I would
    die of bordem in your class

  2. Lapaga Says:

    HELL YEAH! that game was epic! (y) XD

    That was a great simple demonstration! Thanks for the science – keep it coming please!

    :D (*standing ovation)

    and giant lizards too lmao

  6. AnselmoFanZero Says:

    xD right

  7. McdonaldSpecial Says:

    actually, aliens brought you technology like that.

  8. McdonaldSpecial Says:

    NO he might create a black bowl!

    GIVE IT MORE JUICE……..

    How stupid do you think we are. Stop blowing smoke up my as you moron you do not have a clue of what you are doing.

    It’s 4 months of delay when one of the magnets on the real one cracks. ;-(

    Has anyone played a game called another world??? It was available on commodore amiga and probably on pc back in the 80s. Does anyone remember the introduction? That was a particle accelerator experiment gone wrong. Lol. If you wanna see how it works look up another world introduction. Ps that was my favorite game.

    With magnets you can make it fly

    =3

    kool so why dont we build it then

    check out niikola teslas particle accerator it would have given wireless energy to everyone on the planet 100 yrs ago! it was called wardenclyffe look it up! it makes such a high voltage that it accerates electron fields right through the earth setting up resonant waves and allowing everyone on the earth to have free power. i demonstrated a small scale model so we can start learning and build that instead of a CERN accelerator.

    Without those NERDS you wont have your iPhone, stupid asshole.

  17. Britanglish13 Says:

    lol tell the giant particle accelorator – you can’t store anti-matter lol

  18. Britanglish13 Says:

    ya well you’re messing up the weather

    and we all know how accurrate the bbc always is…..

    Nice job !

  21. fabicol2000 Says:

    that´s a real electric motor

  22. jplate8 Says:

    that’s awesome!

  23. zatorith Says:

    nerds

  24. Swidhelm Says:

    There is an article about that in a BBC magazine. It suggests that though black holes will be created they are miniscule, and blink out almost as soon as they are or would be created. Apparently that happens a lot in nature. But then the little big bang doesn’t. Hm, interesting science though.

    I dont see you people making particle accelerator concept video’s so leave the guy alone obviously he is try to give every one a comprehensive explanation. damn keyboard heroes
