READ THIS PLZ, we can stop this project for our future!!?

Question

the LHC is gonna be launch this november

The scientist created a huge monster!!!! The LHC!!! This could really be the end of the world. This LHC could create a huge black hole in this planet that will suck the entire world!!! All this because of a huge use of magnets!!! PLZ lets do something. Post Blogs all over the world over this stupid scientific risk!! I'll rather live without knowing the secret of space when we I can die and later with GOD discover the mysteries of the universe and life.

Scientist are going too far this time!!!

JOIN PLEASE!! Stop the LHC before The Huge Mistake of our life.

Answer 1

Another show of ignorant do-gooders! (and you will never grow up either, as you prefer to "live without knowledge" and create Gods to "protect" you).

Beware of the Internet: virus can jump out the PC and invade your blood-stream...  Much more dangerous than LHC.

Beware of the TV: the radiation burns your retinas and slowly changes them into small rectangles.  You will loose peripheral vision!

Beware of the mobile phones!  They can cook an egg like a microwave: they also cook your brain (if you have one).

Beware of the full moon!  Its attraction can pull you upward and you may fall in space!

Beware of your keyboard!  It contains so much bacterias that you may die of pneumonia or unknown deseases...

Crawl back to your cave, close your eyes, PRAY your God, and stay off of internet!

Answer 2

Have you done any research of your own on the LHC, or are you relying strictly on information posted on non-scientific sites?  Have you done any reading on the science behind these concerns?

In response to "concerns" about the safety of operating LHC, the LHC Safety Study Group (a group of independent scientists) performed a safety analysis of the LHC and their report published in 2003 states that there is no basis for any conceivable threat from such phenomena.

And this year the LHC Safety Assessment Group (a group of particle physicists not involved in the LHC) published a report updating the 2003 report - they reaffirmed and extended its conclusions that LHC particle collisions present no danger, stating that "the LHC will do nothing that nature has not done a million times before".

The LSAG report was reviewed and endorsed by CERN’s Scientific Policy Committee, a group of external scientists that advises CERN’s governing body.

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that LHC energies are far too low to create significantly-massive black holes.  Some extensions of the Standard Model suggest it may be possible to create micro black holes at the LHC.  But these would be completely harmless as they would quickly decay by Hawking radiation.

CERN states that, apart from decay by Hawking Radiation, micro black holes would rapidly decay anyway (based on CPT symmetry) through the same interactions by which they are produced.

Answer 3

Apparently the people answering this question have never heard the term "unexpected".  Or they ignorantly presume that extrapolation ALWAYS is correct.  Ignorance is as ignorance does.  They implicitly claim that our current theories adequately capture the physics at these higher energies.  If our current theories do perfectly describe the physics at these higher energies, or if we can always extrapolate to these energies then we shouldn't be wasting the money on the experiment, should we?  If one of these arrogant "experts" will  do me a favor and send me a book on the Theory of quantum gravity (necessary for predicting the outcome of this type of experiment with certainty), I would appreciate it.  Last I heard, we didn't have any PROVEN theories of Q.G.  So, their confidence is misplaced.

All we can say is that our current (flawed) theories do NOT indicate that this will be a problem and if they turn out to be wrong then the consequences should be slow in appearing.

The idea that black holes "suck" matter is inaccurate, so your alarm is misplaced, also.

I think there is a finite chance that black holes could be created and there is also a finite chance that our theories about "how they will evaporate " are wrong.  Given this, there is a finite chance that we could create a stable black hole.  It wasn't so long ago that Pons and Fleishman (sp?) published on cold fusion.  They published because Nature editors and the reviewers thought what they submitted was "possible".  Which means that we haven't quite got a "lock" on the truth, yet.  Anyway, I haven't seen the model predicting the damage a mini-black hole could do, but I believe it would take a lot of time to cause any great damage.  Hopefully, a "what if" analysis HAS been done and concluded that the damage would take centuries to become significant.  And by that time this planet will probably be uninhabitable anyway, at the rate we're going.

The real question is how unusual are these types of collisions?  Do they occur in nature (or do we think they do)?  If so, what evidence do we have that the effects are not cataclysmic?  ith all of the high energy physics going on, its hard to believe that the LHC really creates particles not seen since rightr after the Big Bang.  The interesting issue being raised is that this scale of this type of undertaking (pun?) now impacts the every-day citizens and they need to be involved (possibly via proxy [representatives]) in determining what is acceptable risk.

Answer 4

I'm a cosmology student myself, and am sure that you are indeed, as mentioned previusly, another ignorant loony.

But let's think - if there was a black hole which destroyed the universe....what is the problem? Everything would cease to exist. End.

Oh wait, you believe in god. Shame.

Answer 5

They said that about every collider before this one.

Answer 6

Actually, the LHC is going online in eight days.

Do you own any significant property, like a house?  If so, I will give you $1000 now, in exchange for a contract transferring ownership of your house to me, effective the day after you say the world is supposed to end.

There is much you can do with that $1000.  Now what was that exact date you are predicting for armageddon?

Answer 7

You didn't post the complete Links there...

Answer 8

hey, did you know that if you focus on the word, propaganda, you can see another word, gullible

let me guess, youre also one of those stupid whiners who think the world is going to end in 2012 too.

Answer 9

Haha. Another extraordinary confused lost soul.

This is what ignorance does to people, it causes paranoia and displaced fear.

Answer 10

Just JR has the right idea.

okay seriously calm down. first of all, when you using youtube as a source for information, nothing good comes out. and second, i have a degree in physics and astrophysics. a PhD. if anyone was concerned about the LHC, it would be me and physicists running the project. it is not going to end the world. the article clearly states that these black holes will be microscopic. and i hate to break it to you, but we have already created microscopic black holes and my computer hasn't been sucked into one yet! this is anything but a "stupid scientific risk". it is one of the most groundbreaking scientific endevors in recorded history and will change our outlook on the universe forever. and we will never discover th mysteries of life using god. why? simple. he doesn't exist. science exists. science is the overwhelming force in this universe, not god. again, hate to break it to you, but the earth formed as a result of left over matter from the formation of the sun... the bible doesn't say anything about that. its says that god created it in a week. that is obviously wrong. god exists only withing the confines of the bible. he exists in imaginations but does not exist in this universe. scientists are not going to far. they are advancing the study of science. it is people that have held science back so much over the years, and you shouldn't be doing it now. after it is launched, you'll see everything is fine. and you'll think to yourself- "why did i waste 5 points posting this question?"

Answer 11

You are a loony.

Just leave science to the real scientists.

---LATER---

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.  This business of the LHC being a danger all has to do with the possible creation of highly microscopic black holes that would exist for less than a handful of microseconds.

The scientists who are doing this considered the consequences of creating black holes in the LHC and addressed the question with as much care and intelligence as they did in its creation.

Who are these people that advocate that there is a problem?  Do they have any status within the scientific community?  What have they produced in comparison to established science?

I do apologize for my curt answer.  However, this merely reiterates politely the gist of that answer.  One cannot base one's life on sensationalism.  Cold, hard facts revealed by science have made a thousand things possible.  Virtually all sensationalists have produced nothing but empty sensations.
