Good to see the Large Cat Collider finally came online. I wonder what collision energy that event is at.

[–]Magnus_Maximus 89 points90 points ago

I think this is actually one of the older calibration videos - notice how the cat collision wasn't completely head on? Also, these are black and white domestic shorthairs which are easy to standardize for calibration, but not that experimentally interesting. Most of the real experiments are going to involve tortoise shell and orange and white tabbies, with later experiments involving higher energy Siamese and Calicos. Nice to finally see that $90 billion in tax payer funded cat research wasn't wasted though.

[–]spinozasrobot 22 points23 points ago

Agreed. The system didn't have nearly enough energy to break the target cats into their constituent parts.

I'm guessing it is either some sort of malware or a form of advertisement.

[–]DomInc 31 points32 points ago

Well, the average mass of a cat is 5kg, and I'm going to estimate the speed of each cat to be about 3ms-1. To work out the kinetic energy of each cat we do 1/2 x mass x velocity2 so each cat has KE of about 22.5J so the entire collision energy is 22.5 x 2 = 45.0 J.

One Joule = 6.2x1018 eV so the collision energy in Electron Volts is 45 x 6.2x1018 = 2.79x1020 eV or 2.79x108 TeV which is around 4x107 times more than the highest energy collision done at CERN.

I was just about to say that.

Is the Compact Meowon Spectrometer taking data yet?

Large Head-on Cat Collider.

[–]nopir 3 points4 points ago

Head-on. Apply directly to the whiskers.

[–]KamiKagutsuchi 5 points6 points ago

They are trying to find the Karma Machine Boson.

[–]DoubleDickDave 0 points1 point ago

event? looks like someone is in the nuclear physics community.

[–]reddit_mistake 0 points1 point ago

are there bad parts of town in the nuclear physics community? places that nuclear physicists are afraid to go to after dark?

[–]DrWatson21 1 point2 points ago

Iran, mostly.

[–]DoubleDickDave 0 points1 point ago

yes. those open heavy flavor people are bad news.

[–]RogueNine 0 points1 point ago

They just discovered the Higgs Boson purr-ticle.

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer 0 points1 point ago

It collides cations.

[–]kindall 0 points1 point ago

The search for the Higgs Kitton has begun.

[–]TheVenetianMask 75 points76 points ago

My dog weighs 20 kg and she loves this.

[–]ios_k 31 points32 points ago

That's 1.00250425414*pi stones for our friends in the UK.

[–]poizan42 0 points1 point ago

So 1 stone ≈ 20/pi kg? That's interesting.

[–]Syeth 5 points6 points ago

My vot, he must be dizzy.

[–]cylon_agent 2 points3 points ago

By the Vots...

[–]DoubleDickDave 0 points1 point ago

looks like you could do some spin physics though.

[–]DullestWall 1 point2 points ago

I love doing that with little kids

[–]DepressedRacoon 146 points147 points ago

"Heh, kitten you so-" suddenly, cats

[–]Chubbstock 62 points63 points ago

I thought it was fine kind of reference to the large hadron collider, but with a cat instead. Then cats.

[–]9ren 7 points8 points ago

feline collider

[–]sandman369 0 points1 point ago

This is how baby kittens are actually made, cats are just so evil they trick us into thinking they reproduce sexually.

[–]APPLEBLOOMthrowaway 0 points1 point ago

So they actually WANT to be neutered?

[–]WeedRambo 0 points1 point ago

I read that as "hardon collider" and was deeply confused.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 50 points51 points ago

[–]NeedsAGoodUsername 8 points9 points ago

I can watch this forever.

This is completely unrelated but for some reason i have you tagged as Turbo Sloth and i have no idea why.

[–]APPLEBLOOMthrowaway 1 point2 points ago

it's not a tag. He must be a mod or something

As someone who has owned a kitten once before, I can confirm cats come after kittens.

[–]DepressedRacoon 3 points4 points ago

My cat's almost 15 now, he's still a kitten at heart.

[–]buffalo83 36 points37 points ago

[–]bayxsonic 13 points14 points ago

That's the cutest abuse of cats I've ever seen.

[–]th1nker 3 points4 points ago

Cats have it pretty hard. Everything is animal abuse to them.

[–]mrducky78 11 points12 points ago

Awww I just melted. Fucking hate it when I change states.

[–]screwed124816 0 points1 point ago

That video needs a NSFW tag. Gruesome scenes.

[–]Tannz0rz 14 points15 points ago

The LCC, the most recent creation of CERN. Findings indicate that small quantities of fur balls are oftentimes created upon collision.

[–]Jeroknite 11 points12 points ago

Isn't that a sign of the higgs meowson?

[–]Time_for_Stories 1 point2 points ago

I dread to think where we would be without these felines. Not simply scientifically, but culturally. If not for Shakespurr, from where would we draw our heritage? Meowtzart's compostions have endured the sands of time. I would not have my passion for biology if not for Sir David Meowington. So I ask you now to take a moment of silence in deference to these creatures and the advances to our civilization their brilliance has brought us.

[–]ohshitimincollege 0 points1 point ago

ha

[–]jynxi 9 points10 points ago

[–]cubiks 7 points8 points ago

To be more precise, I believe that's a rotary cat collider.

[–]ozpunk 5 points6 points ago

And that's how the Higgs Meowson was discovered.

[–]Deestan 2 points3 points ago

The Dog particle? Proof of the Grand Household Pet Unification Theory?

[–]ValuableDan 39 points40 points ago

What a catastrophe.

[–]BnGamesReviews 1 point2 points ago

Your lucky that your experiment did not induce feline fission. You could of unintentionally caused a chain reaction, which if not stopped, could of caused cat gifs to overthrow the Front Page.

[–]cat-a-cat-cat 0 points1 point ago

We have to keep trying, dammit!

[–]Catpause 3 points4 points ago

The result: Felinium

[–]ShitOnMyFartingBoner 3 points4 points ago

The original youtube channel is Shiro's channel, AKA Zen cat. He's amazing, as are the rest of the cats. http://www.youtube.com/user/shironekoshiro?feature=g-high-u

[–]MadHatter69 6 points7 points ago

I always start to hear an imaginary sound when I look at gifs.

And so do you now.

[–]grungevalue 1 point2 points ago

Porn gifs are the worse when it comes to this. They are never attractive sounds.

I was thinking, "OP is so dumb, that's not a collider that's a centrifuge" then the collision!

Boy, that spinning kitten was sure generating a lot of gravity...

[–]Wangasaurus_Rex 1 point2 points ago

I believe a new cat popped into existence from the force of their collision.

[–]recursionr 0 points1 point ago

1012 Hissing particles are generated with every cat collision.

[–]xxX5UPR3M3N00B10RDXx 0 points1 point ago

No, making it have 1337 points does not justify a downvote.

If you look close enough you can totally see a higgs boson at the end of that gif.
