What are the risk of the Big Bang Experiment?

Question

Is there any chance at all that it could cause a World wide catastrophe.If so what?

Answer 1

With the LHC comes the NEW WORLD ORDER!

Answer 2

Many.

Things not even thought of.

Mini-backholes.

Spacetime rips.

Evil pretext.

Clearer heads are trying to stop it:

Answer 3

They will use it to pretend that it opened up a rip in space-time or a "doorway" where supposed evil Type III "aliens" will come through and attack us. This is really to set up one world government. Many will be fooled.

Answer 4

Don't worry, nothing bad is going to happen.

The LHC is NOT trying to recreate the big bang. There is not enough energy in the galaxy to do that. Among many goals, physicists are trying to verify the existence of the Higgs boson, which is believed to be the mechanism that gives matter mass, one of the big puzzles in physics.

All the hoop-la is a bunch of hooey from people who don't know what they are talking about. They did the same for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the RHIC has been in operation for over a decade.

As with all high-energy experiments, CERN has been under intense scrutiny to ensure every step is taken to safeguard against any catastrophic accident.

Although the energy achieved by the particle beams sounds immense, particles hit the atmosphere every day which are much more energetic. On October 15, 1991, the Fly's Eye in Utah detected a proton (called the Oh My God particle) with an energy of 3.2e20 eV. By comparison, the LHC will collide streams of protons at 7e12 eV each, 20 million times less.

The energy of the OMG particle was about 51joules, which is about the energy of a baseball thrown at 60 kph. 7e12 eV particles are only about 1.12e-6 joules.

Besides, do you think all the scientists who work at CERN would risk their lives, and the lives of their families?

Answer 5

If you do any research, you will find out that there is zero risk of a catastrophe.

The risks of the LHC were studied and analyzed for years by independent engineers and scientists - no appreciable risk was found.

Answer 6

The chances are very small, essentially zero. The Earth is about as likely to be destroyed by an attacking alien battle fleet in September as it is to be destroyed by the Large Hadron Collider.

There has been a lot of hype on the Internet about possible dangers of the LHC. Many people still seem to be convinced that there is a significant possibility of the device producing black holes which will consume the Earth and everything on it. This is incorrect; the energy levels achieved by the LHC will be no greater than those achieved by cosmic rays which have been impacting the atmosphere over our heads for billions of years. If the LHC was going to destroy the Earth, cosmic rays would already have done so long before we ever existed.

Answer 7

How many times must I say it? THEY ARE NOT RECREATING THE BIG BANG! We can't make another big bang, because we don't know what caused the first one. They are creating temperatures and densities that were present at the big bang. No man made particle accelerator could ever let out enough energy to start another universe. There is no possible way to do this with the LHC!!!

What makes people think that they know so much more about physics than the people running the LHC? They are qualified particle physicists and astrophysicists with university degrees. If anyone was going to be worried about it, they would.
