Mystery code in the solar wind

When astronomers discovered a pulsar for the first time, they thought the regular signal coming from the star was a call from aliens. A similar story happened in Russia, although it is far less-known to the public.

Don't get me wrong, I fully support research, but like all things, given fixed resources, I think you have to get as much bang for your Euro. This project is a collosal expense, its net effect is to raise the energies to a higher level again on a curve we know that goes more and more vertical and will require even more and more expense to get to the next n steps in energy terms. Yes we will learn something, and who knows how truly useful it will be, but are there any alternatives, any other areas we could apply the funds first. Are we in a race against ourselves, using resources to beat ourselves. Again I am not saying it is wrong, what I am questioning is whether there has been a science wide debate on spending the cash, not a tight physics accelerator circle review. Has it been evaluated whether more theoretical research could yield more efficient or useable results, has it been evaluated what the strides in disease prevention and control .... could be made with the money. In all corporations there is a tendency to budget departmentally, without a higher level governence, it always decends into sub optimisation. Is that what is happening here?

To get in the nowhere , beyond the wall of Planck we need infinite energy and infinite temperatures . To get there to find out what is in the nowhere time must be negative , and that's the other side of the Universe far far away of the beginning ! Just be realistic, let make things better in this temporary world born to die in billions years for sure, but let live today and make our live better at once,because such a capability we get at this moment.

You, at RTTV are very kind and don't like to publish remarks made about silly comments. Like your western friends, you don't dare talk about mankind's greatest insanity, because your decisions'makers must also make a lot of money of that armaments'industry. Russia is more and more looking like America or France: "une dictature du fric." At the beginning of our relations, I wrote this: In all human relation, the most important ingredient is Sincerity. Your country is missing the great opportunity to be the example mankind desperatly needs. (If your decisions' makers think: being able to beat the capitalists at their own game; they should think it over again: Look how many multinationals corporations manipulate russian workers and politicians for the benefit of their stocks' holders)... Sorry Future Generations...Jean-Claude Meslin

You forgot one remark made in my previous comment. Spending a few billions for science is a lot more usefull than wasting 60 trillions $ in 60 years (60 followed by 12 eros) for our own self-destruction. If the CERN did not exist, Internet will not exist either and many other technological innovations. In case, you forgot to inform yourself, I precise than all major nations 2010 military budgets have been increased. Here is a subject for which you should worry more than for falling in a black hôle. Sorry Future Generations. Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin

This whole fantastical project is a complete waste of taxpayers money. You are all living in sci-fi land. I can guarantee these people behind such farcical 'scientific' projects are rubbing their little hands in glee at the amount of money they have managed to cream off of the hard working people. No doubt they are all living in very comfortable houses and have lovely bank balances. Talk about pulling the wool over the eyes. You gullible people should all be ashamed of yourselves. People are living in dire poverty, and just a small portion of the sum of money this fantasy project has sucked up could have eased the lives of 100's of thousands of communities all over the EU. Shame, shame, shame on you all for allowing these criminals to get away with such 'laundering' of good money.

Imagine my shock when it did not even remotely work. How come a layman like myself knows the whole "particle" concept is flawed into oblivion? You know when the scientists are stupid when they say a future test wrecked the test carried out on that day. That was proof. A scramble for lunacy. How would a future test know where to effect a test in the past? The Earth has moved. Ok, right, tell me. When men went into space and their time moved quicker, they effectively went into the future but did they disappear? Does anyone remember the time when scientists calculated the size of the graviton? It was as large as a hydrogen atom. Has anybody seen this "Oorte cloud" yet? I also have an issue with a respondent here who reckons there would be no internet if there was no Cern. I would enjoy reading that attempt of distortion of reality too. Then there is a respondents talk of money and what good it could of done. Money is merely a number, a perceived value. There are plenty of poor people who live well and its not down to money but the lifestyle they created. Africa is a fine example. Give the men who fish lake Victoris life belts. Then no business starts up making them locally. So more people go hungry.. etc. etc...
