If the thing the french?

Question

are making to create the big bang Why are they doing this if its such a risk? If something does go wrong and we all get sucked into a black hole or something who are they going to tell? No one because were all DEAD.

Answer 1

there is no risk. raising this question demonstrates nothing more than total scintific ignorance. since the big bang involved the entire universe, it cannot be recreated in the laboratory.

please get information - real information, not sensationalistic garbage - from cern.

Answer 2

They are not recreating the Big Bang - that would take all the energy and matter in the universe to do.

It is theorized that the LHC collider will produce Higgs bosons, which could confirm the predictions and "missing links" in the Standard Model of physics and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.  This would be a big step in the search for a Grand Unified Theory, which seeks to unify three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force).  The Higgs boson may also help to explain why gravitation is so weak compared to the other three forces.

In addition to the Higgs boson, other theorized particles might be produced (such as supersymmetric particles, compositeness, extra dimensions, strangelets, micro black holes, and magnetic monopoles.

Any black hole it produces will be no more massive than the energy they put into it, so it will be microscopic and will evaporate almost immediately due to Hawking radiation.

There have been many independant scientists involved in assessing the risks for years, and the consensus in the scientific community is that experiments at the LHC present no danger and that there is no reason for concern.

There are other particle colliders on Earth (have been for decades), this one is simply larger and more powerful.

Doesn't anyone do any reading or research for themselves anymore?

Answer 3

Well, I wouldn't sweat it... I think things will be fine.  And, if we *do* get sucked into a black hole - wouldn't that be *cool* to see???
