C. F. von Weizsäcker (1912-2007)

German nuclear physicist who is the co-discoverer of the Bethe-Weizsäcker formula. His The Relevance of Science: Creation and Cosmogony concerned Christian and moral impacts of science. He headed the Max Planck Society from 1970 to 1980. After that he retired to be a Christian pacifist.

We will soon be reading the mind of God. See below:

The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August.

But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth? Or spit out particles that could turn the planet into a hot dead clump?

Ridiculous, say scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known by its French initials CERN - some of whom have been working for a generation on the $5.8 billion collider, or LHC.

"Obviously, the world will not end when the LHC switches on," said project leader Lyn Evans.

David Francis, a physicist on the collider's huge ATLAS particle detector, smiled when asked whether he worried about black holes and hypothetical killer particles known as strangelets.

"If I thought that this was going to happen, I would be well away from here," he said.

The collider basically consists of a ring of supercooled magnets 17 miles in circumference attached to huge barrel-shaped detectors. The ring, which straddles the French and Swiss border, is buried 330 feet underground. The Higgs field, the standard model, and our picture of how God made the universe depend on finding the Higgs boson,” wrote Nobel laureate Leon Lederman in his 1993 book The God Particle. His book championed the Superconducting Supercollider, the $10 billion accelerator he had designed to nab the Higgs. Because it is thought to be the most massive of all elementary particles, the Higgs boson would show up only in ultrahigh-energy collisions. The Supercollider’s particle beams would have collided at 20 times the energy of the Tevatron’s. But soon after The God Particle was published, Congress pulled the plug on the project. Interesting...

I am actually excited to see what kind of stuff the smasher will give us.

Although I do feel a little better thats its an ocean away . Granted I am not a hardcore NIMYite, but that thing does scare me a little.

Theoretically it's been proposed that one could create a universe in a laboratory and as it expands it wouldn't displace ours. It's all so fascinating.

 

We're on the precipice of unimaginable insights and our abilities are inching towards tasting God's power. Will we, as possibly worlds before us, not survive this age of technology? Is the point that humans face now the defining point for all other civilizations that might have been, or that will arise in the universe? Is it truly possible to survive this point? 

 

Is curiosity so tied to a higher life forms primitive self as to be inherent, possibly axiomatic to its existence, so that it can't be contain?

 

Will our curiosity get the better of us even before our aggression?

67 was certainly a good year.

 

But 42 is the answer to all things.

But only because it's funny. I think 67 demands of it deeper thought.

But how many years would that take to think of?

Hahaha, many more years than 42.

I didn't get the number jokes so I assumed they were years......

Jason, sorry, I thought you were joking. It's from the “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." It took the computer “deep thought” 7.5 million years to come up with the answer to the "Ultimate” question. The answer is “42.”
