Do you believe that Aliens will someday invade us? If yes, for good or for bad?

I want to hear people's opinion outside the physics field...

LHC @ geneve, while we are talking sience, what do you think of this beauty, was it worth building it?

Reason why this was build, was to find the Higgs boson part, (small part of an atom)

Now they invested

8000 000 000 dollars to build it

286million dollars/year (for power)

What do they do there?

Look for that higgs part which would explain a lot in chemy/fysics and improve our knowledge a lot (which could fe make us able to leave our galaxy(not saying that will be possible)) by shooting elements using 7 billion electrovolt (7TeV), and those elements reach close to 99,999 996 4% of lightspeed.

Do you think its worth it, or should they have invested the money in other, more pressing matter first? Fe invest in climate change?

SERIOUSLY?

Brazilians love three types of food instead of ours: Lebanese, Japanese and Italian!

Actually the "famous" Lebanese foods are not the best ones. Plenty of other Lebanese foods that are not famous in other countries but are so much better.

Choulo, when are you gonna visit us in Brazil? We've got a lot of lebanese immigrants and descendants. I know a few, I think their surname was Khalil and they still have relatives in Lebanon.

And then you can make us some non-mainstream lebanese dishes.

@Dion, I LOVE SATURDAY!

What are those in bottom-right?

What are those in bottom-right?

What do you want to know? The cup with a kind of black soup or the bowl with the thing that looks like bacon?

The black soup is called "caldinho de feijão", it is made with the broth of the black beans (main dish) and it is as hot as it is amazing.

The bacon looking thing is called "torresmo", it is fried pork fat.

Countless. The Lebanese cuisine is huge. I personally love the stews which we usually make with cooked rice on the side. My favorit stews are spinach, cauliflower, and a herb that probably doesn't have a name in English but we pronounce it "Mlookhiyye".
