I keep hearing the worlds gonna end cuz of this machine.

Question

I hear it can make a black hole and destroy the earth or something thats all the info I have

Can someone provide a news artical or something telling me what it is?

Explaining is fine 2 but I just thought you didn't wanna waste your time

:]

Answer 1

You are probably referring to the LHC.  Don't worry, nothing bad will happen.

Answer 2

some time ago, I used to kid people on Yahoo with the CERN black holes, but I stopped when i realized some people believed me.

there really isn't a possibility of a "Big Mistake" happening.

you should read David Brin.

"Cool stuff. And of course, this eerily resembles the "cavitron" device that makes micro-black-holes in my novel EARTH.

In fact we all have to keep a nasty little voice on our shoulders, reminding ourselves that the Galaxy seems to have fewer intelligent, communicating life forms than we expected, a while ago. This "Great Silence" is puzzling…

…and one possible explanation is that every physics-wielding species eventually makes the same Big Mistake. Shudder."

Answer 3

You must be talking about the Large Haldron Collider.

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadro... )

Its rumored to create a black hole that will destroy Earth but its unlikely. Heres a article about that : http://www.livescience.com/environment/0...

"The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the miniscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe.

Two beams of subatomic particles called 'hadrons' – either protons or lead ions – will travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining energy with every lap. Physicists will use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world will analyse the particles created in the collisions using special detectors in a number of experiments dedicated to the LHC.

There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions, but what's for sure is that a brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator, as knowledge in particle physics goes on to describe the workings of the Universe. For decades, the Standard Model of particle physics has served physicists well as a means of understanding the fundamental laws of Nature, but it does not tell the whole story. Only experimental data using the higher energies reached by the LHC can push knowledge forward, challenging those who seek confirmation of established knowledge, and those who dare to dream beyond the paradigm.

Hope this helped some! :)

Answer 4

I know what you are talking about but I can't really give too much info because read about it awhile ago

it is a machine. in europe. it has some kind of coil/reactor thing that is miles is diameter. and nothing like it has ever been tested before on such a scale

it is not going to make a black hole and suck you in though.

relax

Answer 5

Its the large hadron collider. It collides s**z of this to recreate the big bang. Its pretty cool actually. Well if this thing could end the world it would be a much more interesting death to get sucked in a blackhole than to be buried under dirt dont ya think?

Answer 6

you are probably the most gullible person on the planet. it doesnt exist.

make it a good day

Answer 7

That would be the Cern Super Collider in France.  It's the world's largest particle accelerator, but they don't make black holes.  People get worried that it could or do something worse, but really it's not made that way.  Still, that's probably where you heard that it was going to destroy the world and somesuch.
