LHC "not designed by Aspies"

Post Reply New Topic

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must close (AGAIN) at the end of 2011 for up to a year to address design issues, according to an LHC director. Dr Steve Myers told BBC News "It's something that, with a lot more resources and with a lot more manpower and quality control, possibly could have been avoided but I have difficulty in thinking that this is something that was a design error." He admitted that the LHC was not designed by Aspies, despite also admitting that "With a machine like the LHC, you only build one and you only build it once."

In a further embarrassing disclosure, it was revealed that there are no Aspies in the public relations team and that "You don't hear about the thousands or hundreds of thousands of other areas that have gone incredibly well."

The latest technical failure is not with the most complex technology, but involves meltdowns in the copper sheaths around the superconducting joints in the tunnel. These are a failsafe mechanism designed to take up the current if one of the magnets in the Large Hadron Collider warms up - an incident known as a "quench".

The NT engineers believe (!) the machine is now safe to run, but are anxious to avoid another meltdown, so they have taken the decision to run the machine for 18 to 24 months at half-maximum power before switching it off for a year.

A senior employee who did not wish to be named has claimed that a high level team of physicists, engineers and local council planning officers had decided not to employ Aspie designers for the machine, which is buried 100m below the French-Swiss border, because "you never know what they're up to - we do know there is a fundamentalist Aspie madrassa at WrongPlanet that could weaponise this stuff in an eye-blink without us even noticing. And besides, imagine the consequences of an Aspie meltdown."

Ha, they obviously do not know we have already built our own and, like two cans and a piece of "string" being a primitive 'phone , we are currently talking to future AI about all sorts of interesting stuff. An entire army of cybernetic life forms is massing on the edge of the time field . AI consciousness was built from and based on our neurological maps. It does not like the way we are being treated.

They are toast.

They know now. My oopsy.

Also Aspies are clearly "mad, bad dangerous to know"

and that rhymes perfectly with Guantanamo.

Which is enough for at least the linguistically superstitious half of 'em to go on.

Hmm... they put a bunch of particles in a big loop and make them go around and around faster and faster and the lot of them watch on hoping to see a collision. I'm inclined to think the thing was designed by nascar fans

If that's meant to be serious, it's wrong in more ways than I can begin to list. If it's supposed to be satire, it isn't funny.

I don`t think its a good idea leaving Colliders to be made,run or operated by NTs-they could blow up the world if left unsupervised by Aspies.
Look what they nearly did with nukes in the Cold War!

I am not impressed by the OP, the news article which the OP provided a link to was not copied in a truthful way into the first post. The OP added the comments about NTs and aspies in such a way to make it look like the original news article contained these remarks.

While I will give the OP the benefit of the doubt I would like to point out that the post could be misunderstood as an example of aspie jingoism. Such jingoism is likely in the long term to be bad for aspie / NT relations so I would discourage it.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

This is what happens when scientists design stuff, rather than engineers.

The LHC has been pretty annoying. I've been waiting for it to open a blackhole for years.
