russian roulette - big time

risk assessment
for the large hadron collider
semi quoted from different sites

" the chances of catastrophe are negligible
" based on astronomical evidence and
" assumptions
" about physics
" one report put the odds of a disaster
" at less than one in 50 million
" less than a chance of winning
" some lottery jackpots

in other words
every time they do an experiment
we have the same odds to disaster
as playing russian roulette
with 50 million chambers
one - or more - of these chambers has a bullet
this bullet can kill 6 billion people

" dr. Kent
" used standard insurance company method
" to calculate expected losses
" he multiplied the disaster probability
" times the cost
" in this case the loss
" of the global population
" six billion
" a result was that
" the Rhic collider could kill
" up to 120 people in a decade of operation

statistics are strange
... i agree with the statement below

" Alvaro de Rujula of Cern
" involved in writing a safety report said
" extending the insurance formula that way
" violated common sense
" "applied to all imaginable catastrophes
" it would result in world paralysis"

comforting

" besides
" the random nature of quantum physics means
" that there is always a minuscule
" but nonzero
" chance of anything occurring
" the new collider could spit out
" man-eating dragons

if there was a dragon now
he'd be in real trouble

russian roulette
really big time

details - részletek

our lives are full of choices
fractured into a million pieces

az életünk tele van döntésekkel
millió részre szakítva



there is peace only in God
csak Istennél van béke

subtleties - részletkérdés?

i just came back from the seaside
went there to watch and to film the sunset
-not the one below-
the clouds above the Bristol channel and Wales are unpredictable
it wasn't as colorful, as i was hoping,
like many other times i've seen already
-that's the one below-
most jöttem a tengerpartról

kimentem naplementét nézni és filmezni

-nem a lenti-

kiszámíthatalanok a felhők a Bristol csatona és Wales felett

nem volt harsány, ahogyan reméltem

hiszen ha úgy alakul hihetetlen látványt tud produkálni

-na az a lenti-

colorful

harsány

i miss Hungarian
in many things it is a lot easier
to express myself...
in many things...
everyone talks english here
halvány színek...

mennyi minden veszik el

belőlem azzal

nem használom anyanyelvemet

pedig mennyivel szebb, mint az angol

csakhát itt mindenki azt beszéli

so do i
én is
