We are doomed!

As far as doomsday-prophecies are concerned, I think I like This one the most .

Why are you guys mad at this?

 

[b0mbrman]

mmm...odds are 169,000,000,000,001 to 1

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

I bet Stephen Hawkings doesn't agree with that.

The danger is that a jelly of the ghostly partner of the quark could form spontaneously at any moment, changing the laws of physics of the whole Universe.
Light would stop shining, electricity would no longer work and the matter that makes up us, the Earth and the stars would disintegrate to form a different kind of matter, said Dr Allanach.
This disaster scenario caused some initial nightmares, he said. But further calculations showed that the probability of it actually happening was miniscule, even in a time as long as the age of our Universe.
The actual probability is one in 13 million squared, he said.

Bah, if this is true... then there might be a technology to initiate this diaster. We might not have it, but civilizations millions of years ahead of us might.

 

[Elledan]

Too bad the article didn't provide many details. I think I'll go digging in some research papers on supersymmetry .

 

[zippy]

Grape or cherry?

 

[MF1]

Interesting but the probability is very low.

I would be really happy if we ended up with this way. How many of you have won 2 jackpots in a week? I didn't.

The problem with some of these guys (in astro/quantum/theoretical physics) is that they develop a theory, then devise a simulation, not to prove or disprove their theory, but to see how 'things' work within that theoretical model [if it were true]. Its theory stemming from simulation of a theoretical model that may be even one or two more steps removed from sound scientific fact. IOW, they have far too much time on their hands.

if the universe is gonna turn into jelly it beter damn well taste good

 

[iamshady]

I don't think we'd feel it...

 

[HombrePequeno]

This has aboot as much chance of happening as you standing in Chicago and quantum tunneling all the way to Hawaii.

 

[iamshady]

I think an asteroid slamming into the earth and wiping out all life has a bigger chance of happening.

 

[shaddow]

no one would feel this, it would be immediate

 

[HombrePequeno]

Assuming that the odds are 1 in 13 million squared of this happening today, this will happen in around 462 billion years. The universe will probably freeze before this happens.

I liked how the article implied that the scientists got all worried about it, until they did the math and determined the odds of it happening. Like for a couple hours there I could just imagine all these guys in lab coats running around going "ahhhh! jelly! Nooooo!!"

But yeah, that was stupid. Dumb scientists.

rotfl, I just pictured that after reading this post...

Flot, thank you very much for that humor, I have a new sig now.

Mmmm, peanut butter and universe jelly sandwich.

 

[joohang]

I think it's just a theory and tough to believe at the moment.

Supersymmetry is such a wack to understand, even with a degree in Physics.

 

[UNCjigga]

I don't think you,
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you,
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you,
Ready for this
'Cause my body too
Bootylicious for ya babe!

I'm truly sorry, but it was the first thing that came to mind.
