no intention of disrupting .. phewHackers claim they have broken into the computer system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the mega-machine designed to expose secrets of the cosmos, British newspapers are reporting.
A group calling itself the Greek Security Team left a rogue web page mocking the technicians responsible for computer security at the giant atom smasher as "schoolkids", the Times and Daily Telegraph reported.
The hackers vow they have no intention of disrupting the experiment at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the Swiss-French border, they just wanted to highlight the flaws in the computer system's security.
"We're pulling your pants down because we don't want to see you running around naked looking to hide yourselves when the panic comes," they wrote, according to the Daily Telegraph.
James Gillies, a spokesman for CERN, told the Times says there does not seem to be any harm done.
"We don't know who they were but there seems to be no harm done. It appears to be people who want to make a point that CERN was hackable," he said.
I've been pondering a potential paradox (in my mind).
At Zero Kelvin (absolute zero.. theorised) all movement stops. I'm going back to yr 11 chemistry here.
However electrons move 'more' freely (without much resistance) at temps close to 0c Kelvin. Do electrons stop moving to at absolute zero?
So the absolute lowest temperature is above 0 kelvin; that would be the de facto absolute zero and ipso facto, absolute zero.Absolute zero is theoretically impossible since it requires the presence of a body that is at a temperature below absolute zero.
So the absolute lowest temperature is above 0 kelvin; that would be the de facto absolute zero and ipso facto, absolute zero.
But then that temperature would require the presence of a body that is at a temperature below the ipso facto absolute zero.... which is... impossible?
Why am I wrong with this logic?
I know what AZ is. But have a look at my logic. It's obviously flawed, but why?Absolute zero is a theoretical construct. It is the lowest temperature theoretically possible. It is a limit.
Example of a limit: The limit of 1/x, x -> infinity is zero. However it will never quite reach zero (only an infinitely small number).
Absolute zero is theoretically impossible...
You speak in tongues Yoda.It is the lowest temperature theoretically possible.
Because It's before the fact???Why am I wrong with this logic?
Because It's before the fact???
1. Reminds me of the frog who lines up at the start of a 100m track.Absolute zero is a theoretical construct. It is the lowest temperature theoretically possible. It is a limit.
