The Large Hadron Collider (Critics Fear This Could Destroy the Earth)

[IdealProductz]

Read this today, thought it was pretty crazy. Some critics belive it can drill a black hole into space and swallow earth or something

Nah, only Micahs car can do that.

I posted about this a while back. Check out these videos on youtube about Cern's LHC. They are searching for the Higgs Boson or "God Particle". I find it very interesting and look forward to see the results.


They address the micro black holes and stranglets at the end of part 1/ beginning of part 2.

its not going to happen.
I just love how man thinks so big of himself that he can destroy earth with just a particle collider.

Seriously......From what they say, any black hole that is create would instantly disappear due to earth's gravitational force. I'd have to re-watch it but it was something like that.

here's some of it.....

Concerns have been raised about the safety of the Large Hadron Collider, especially regarding the possibility that the high-energy particle collisions might produce phenomena dangerous to the Earth, such as the creation of micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles.[16] In response to these concerns, the LHC Safety Study Group, a group of independent scientists, performed a safety analysis of the LHC and concluded in a report published in 2003 that there is no basis for any conceivable threat from such phenomena.[17] [18] In 2008, the LHC Safety Assessment Group (LSAG), a group of particle physicists not involved in the LHC experiments, published a report updating the 2003 safety review, in which they reaffirmed and extended its conclusions that LHC particle collisions present no danger, stating that "the LHC will do nothing that nature has not done a million times before".[16][19] [20] The LSAG report was reviewed and endorsed by CERN’s Scientific Policy Committee, a group of external scientists that advises CERN’s Council, its governing body.

Just a particle collider? It's at least one of the largest machines ever produced. If they can build tiny little bombs (in contrast) that can level a city, possibly people who are not employed as Particle Physicists, could jump to the conclusion that trying to re-create the Big Bang on a smaller scale could cause a problem here or there.

I'm just saying

look at the scale of the thing. This is one of the largest machine ever built by man, i agree... but like i said, its just a larger version of the colliders that we have now... so yeah, it is just a particle collider. And no one can re create Big Bang because no one knows the exact condition of the event zero. Yeah, we can guess and thats best we can do.

But they're not trying to re-create the Big Bang. They are trying to re-create the moment after.

I just read a fiction book about this. Blasphemy.. kinda funny that there building the machine now.
