Japanese Scientists Play God

Quite literally.

PHYSICISTS IN JAPAN PLAN TO CREATE NEW UNIVERSE IN LAB
USING THE HIGGS FIELD, SCIENTISTS THEORIZE IT IS POSSIBLE TO CAUSE A 'BABY UNIVERSE' TO BREAK OFF FROM OUR OWN, SAFELY
2 August 2006

A radical new project could permit human beings to create a "baby universe" in a laboratory in Japan. While it sounds like a dangerous undertaking, the physicists involved believe that if the project is successful, the space-time around a tiny point within our universe will be distorted in such a way that it will begin to form a new superfluid space, and eventually break off, separate in all respects from our experience of space and time, causing no harm to the fabric of our universe.

My mind is absolutely fucking blown.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They can't even be sure if it works or not,

They can't even do it. Like Dhsu pointed out, they need a monopole for the experiment. In other words, they need a magnet with only one pole, and according to current physical theory, is impossible to find. It might be possible to create it artificially, but then that would be how they'd intend to create this new universe, I suppose.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's because it's called Science Fiction, you fucking ponce. The better sci-fi writers knew how humanity would make science work in the first place. Asimov always felt that the problems of progress would be solved by wisdom, and as a result put out the Three Laws of Robotics.

If we created a universe that operated on a time-space continuum more advanced than our own, and eventually a species would come into being that would recognize that their universe was created in a lab of ours, then sure why not? Stranger stuff has happened, and it's been perpetrated by humans.

That problem doesn't exactly apply here, though, becuase as soon as the mini-universe breaks off from our own it stops existing within our universe. It won't be invisible in a lab or some shit, it'll have its own space-time continuum. To us and the rest of the universe at large, it won't for all practical purposes exist.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It should be noted that the other "risks taken" involved injury to the inventor or scientists in question. Even when they dropped the H-Bomb, there was only a fear that it would destroy the Earth's atmosphere, not something that could wipe out our entire section of the galaxy, if not the universe.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Simply because these scientists know what they're doing.

Yeah, they sure know what they're doing tampering with theoretical physics that they don't even know will work or not.

Even if they somehow blow everything up, God (or whatever you want to call the being that created everything) would just create everything again.

There's no guarantee of that, and you're stupid for thinking so. But no, I must have no imagination and must be hella boring because I'm not dribbling shit from my lip with Crystal Meth in my system questioning whether or not the universe would cease to exist when it ceases to exist.

Most amazing jew boots

It's not pointless to have an entire universe man-created. It creates a lot of significant scientific and philosophical ramifications. How is it worthless proving our own god-like abilities? I mean, it's a whole new universe.

It doesn't disprove religion, though. What it would do is give scientific plausibility to the concept of creationism.

What makes it a pointless excercize, though, is that there's no way to measure the process of creation, let alone whether or not a universe has actually been created. Even after the experiment is done, the entire affair remains wholly theoretical. Not only that, but it's an experiment that runs the danger of destroying the universe as we know it, regardless of how miniscule the risk is.

Relying on the words of scientists who don't want to lose their grant money is retarded. They can say they know what they're doing all they want, the fact of the matter is that they couldn't possibly know because all of the physics involved are theoretical.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
