So whos been paying attention the large Hadron Collider. I first saw it on extreme engineering a couple years ago but now that its been getting closer to completion Ive been seeing it in the news for different reasons. Mainly people think that it could create a black hole and destroy the world.

 

Heres the article

Heres the wiki for people that havent heard about it

Personally I think making a black hole would be a pretty sweet way to go if it happens.

Here is the world's most powerful laser. It creates supernovas. Bought it at Target, it was on sale.

thats what i said 2 weeks ago when i was on this subject to my friends lol

I mean if you play the odds

 

its like a 1/5 shot to die of heart disease

 

1/6 of cancer

 

meh both boring

 

Right now as far as I know no humans have every been killed by a blackhole

 

I guess it kind of takes the uniqueness out of it if everyone dies from it

 

And if people thought that global warming was the earth responding to us dumping tons of co2 and other gases into the atmosphere. Heres our response to the earth trying to tell us what to do

 

Ha take that earth

Already posted in a different thread.

 

Nothing that will destroy the world will happen, bottom line. Fearmongers and the uninformed (typically the same thing) would have you believe otherwise.

Awe come on

 

I can still hope

 

dont crush my dreams

-They thought that setting off the first atomic bomb would cause a chain reaction and turn the earth into a fireball...besides, creating a black hole requires compressed mass...and the earth does not have enough even if you used the entire planet (not to mention it's gravity well would not change even if you compressed it into a singularity...so it wouldn't even suck up the moon)

 

Also on topic- I like this site...take it with a grain of salt:

some of them are actually quite interesting :thumbsup:

When i was still at university my lecturers were just finishing the simulations and even some of my friends have written M.Sc theses on this. Our team has even designed the whole detection section - the most crucial of them all if i dare say so.

 

PS. The title is wrong. An atom IS made from hadrons (barions: proton and neutron) anyway, so 'hadron atom' is a tautology.

So if it fires so fast that you cannot even see it does it even fire at all?

OMG hold me i'm scared

I am excited and I hope new and useful ideas will come into being because of this collider.

I figure they know it fires when they are missing the power in twenty 20,000 volt capacitors in 100 femtoseconds.

Some people make a living on overreacting:D

Its a highly profitable business:D

The day a black hole is made on the planet earth, I will raid a gaming store and be the proud owner of a PS3.

Bought it at Target, it was on sale.

LOL!!!!!!!!

OMG hold me i'm scared

I may not hold you, but we can go down drinking beer together!

this is a very intresting read. producing a black hole would be pretty awsome
