Is the world going to end on Saturday

Question

The Large Hadron Collider is a big experiment in Geneva which is going live this Saturday, The experiment hopes to recreate the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang by smashing parts of atoms together at high speeds. Now they are not quite sure what will happen I only hope they dont create mini black holes.

Answer 1

Nope.  Only Jesus Christ only knows when the end will be.

Answer 2

YOU CRAZY MON

Answer 3

not much we can do i guess.

hug your kids, kiss your loved ones goodbye.

enjoy your last three days alive.

Answer 4

wow,is this the long tunnel underground thing? like 16 miles long or something?

i dont care what happens,but its incredible we can do that

this reality will disolve and when it does a sign saying 'level 2' will show up.

is this going to be on telly?

Answer 5

Actually, this is the only super collider capable of smashing atoms together hard enough to create mini black holes.  This is true.  Of course the black hole will only be a few hundred molecules large and should only be able to exist for a number of picoseconds. SHOULD. If it does create a black hole that sucks the world in, you would be gone before you actually knew it happened so don't worry about it.

People used to think that the atomic bomb would set the earth's atmosphere on fire, but in reality all it did was increase the cancer rate and double our natural radiation exposure.

Answer 6

It didn't end on 01-01-00

Answer 7

No. If it did produce a mini black hole it wouldn't have enough energy to sustain itself so as soon as it appeared it would evaporate. Nothing to worry about  

Answer 8

I dont think so, but I was told that it may end December 22, 2012, But I dont htink it will

Answer 9

of course

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

No it won't end on Saturday.

First of all. Many people are scared of black holes, because they dont know that their reach is very small actually.

Imagine if the sun was a black hole with the same mass it has right now. You wouldnt feel anything different here on Earth! (except that the sun light was out). The Earth would still rotate around the sun like it is right now. The black hole would be about 3-5miles big (not sure). And only! if you would get closer than that you would get sucked in with no return.

Now you know how big the sun is and how small one proton is. And now think about how little that "event horizon" of this mini black hole of a neutron is. ;)

Anyway I'm looking forward to their results. This experiment might open new doors to physics and answer so many unanswered questions.

(They might find a force which combines the electromagnetic, the strong and the weak force. They might find out why the particles have the mass they got and so on and so on)

Answer 12

    I'm not entirely sure if the world is going to end or not.

    Just to be on the safe side though, I'd advise wearing a brown paper bag on your head all day and hiding under a table whilst adopting the lotus position.

   I know that's what I'M going to do.

  (By the way, if you ARE going to do this, post pictures on the internet of it on Sunday)

Answer 13

if not then it will be on dec 21 2012

Answer 14

no they postponed that till monday  

Answer 15

nope

Answer 16

This Saturday, I have a softball tournament, and therefore, I am not going to think about the LHC.  If black holes do form, they will quickly evaporate by Hawking radiation, so it really won't do anything.  Don't waste your energy thinking about that or related things.  

Answer 17

I'll  feel like it after drinking Friday night- my head will be banging dehydrated brain cells together

Answer 18

They've done this numerouos times, in other colliders and different experiments and I believe something which carried supposedly the same 'risks' in that very same collider only recently. I wouldn't worry about it

Answer 19

if it was a concern then it would be stopped

Answer 20

No LHC will not kill us.

Even if they succeed in creating tiny (microscopic Black Hole) they will (a) not suck in everything around us and (b) evaporate rapidly.

Consider this: If the sun were replace by a black hole of the same mass, the gravitational pull on the earth would NOT change, we would continue to orbit. Granted the lack of light would present a few problems, but we would not be sucked in.

Hopefully they will be able to answer some basic questions about the early universe - but they won't destroy the earth in the process...

Answer 21

No, but it's supposed to rain.  At least in Southwest Texas.
