You toss a penny into the proton beam, and then when they smash together, what ever you wished for comes out. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_teisco_delrey Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 This page gives an up-to-the minute status on whether or not the Hardron Collider has destroyed the world. There's even a RSS feed. And for those who want *really* up to the minute data, check out the webcams. Cameron. How do we really know it didn't destroy the world or sucked us into a new dimension?

bigstevet07 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm hoping to learn why Germans love David Hasselhoff. As being a candidate on the PMW platform, I thought you would be up to date with foreign relations. This is obviously the reason why they love the Hoff. I don't get why it hasn't taken off here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^We're all still alive and the big bang is still a theory, so I'd assume it's still a work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Rumor has it that a small black hole was created, and it coughed up Yvette Mimieux, Robert Forster, and a little robot who talked like Roddy McDowall. This is, of course, unconfirmed. Representatives from Walt Disney Pictures have declined to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haux Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 So. Guess it worked. Didn't it? Or did it? They haven't fired it up to full speed or starting colliding protons yet. They're just shooting protons in and speeding them up so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then it should have been a white hole. Terry "Had the storybook for the movie on LP" Weaver EDIT: Don't forget Maximilian either and the minions of Hell! Did that ending make sense to anyone?

chmilo24 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Popular Science did an article on the Large Hadron Collider and within it they said this: The Large Hadron Collider, the giant particle accelerator that's scheduled to begin colliding protons in August, has the potential to produce the long-sought Higgs boson. That elusive particle is a missing link in the commonly accepted model of physics. Observing it would be an important milestone in our understanding of the fundamental forces of the universe. The LHC also has the potential, though, to give birth to microscopic black holes–which some have worried could destroy Earth by accreting its matter–as well as other objects such as magnetic monopoles, vacuum bubbles, and strangelets. A study group concluded in 2003 that these entities would pose no danger, and this month a reappraisal of the known facts re-substantiated that assurance. Microscopic black holes, because of their tinyness, are not expected to live long enough to pose a threat; they should decay very rapidly. If one does turn out to be stable, the study predicts that "the rate at which absorption would take place would be so slow . . . that Earth would survive for billions of years before any harm befell it." Strangelets–fragments of strange matter–have the potential to convert ordinary matter to strange matter, but the research concludes that it is extremely unlikely strangelets could be produced at the LHC. According to the review, any hypothetical objects created by the collider would be equivalent to ones that are created without physicists' help, by the effect of cosmic radiation on Earth and other local bodies. Since cosmic rays–and earlier colliders, like the the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in New York–have not destroyed the Earth, odds are the Large Hadron Collider won't either. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rct3man777 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 If this ends the world, I wouldn't be concerned. Why? It would all happen in about a nanosecond, and you would be atomized in god-knows-how little time, and you wouldn't even feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haux Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 ^ But it's not going to end the world. That's just what would happen if it COULD to end the world. That's not even too true. IF it could end the world, there are many theories to take into account. If the micro black holes are created, they wouldn't suck the world in, in a nanosecond. First, physically, they'd be too small to do anything but evaporate. A black hole has a crazy quantity of mass, and even our own sun can't become a black hole. Second, if the LHC somehow creates strangelets, they may create more strangelets in a matter of seconds, or it could take weeks. But the Earth's temperature is anything but stable, so strangelets wouldn't be able to reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBannedKid Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yea but all of that is based on theory. We don't exactly know how black holes work and so what if all our theories are wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
