Nine Days, End of the World?

This is sorta scary, I don't know what will happen but if it does, that sucks.

Whatever.

Don't loose sleep over this nonsense, besides if it happens you won't feel a thing!

True, Or you can like mutate with the people around you lol jking,

But like I said I don't believe that it will happen but how the Hadron Collider works, there could be a chance, or it could make a "black hole" put probably not the size of the world.

DPM its time to do heroin dude

Stay on topic, and if you already didn't know DPM is dead.

ANYWAYS, true responses please.

I don't believe black holes are holes at all and that black holes are actually stars, like the sun, with high gravity and it just produces a light we can't see.

Pretty good theory, but like it says in the aritcle it could takes years before the black holes could invert the earth.

I am not a physicist but what I know about Einsteins theories and black holes it's that you need a lot of mass to create a black hole I do not see how one can be created in a super collider.

One thing I do not understand is if you split an atom you get a nuclear explosion. How is smashing an atom any different?

Look up the Hadron Collider on wikipedia, it is the most powerful one ever built, over 20Km long, and over 5000 magnets. With broken atoms traveling at the speed of light, yea something bad is going to happen.

What are these things for?

It just might be.

A "particle collider" eh? ... sounds dangerous, yes, but I don't think it will yield black holes. It's just a more powerful device for smashing particles together at a fast pace.

That may seem like it could make black holes... but first you have to think about how much power it would have taken to create the universe under a "big bang" theory. Earth itself represents a DISMAL amount of energy compared to the entire rest of the universe. We are nearly infinitely incapable of replicating the circumstances of the "big bang".

I do think it's weird to not see religious institutions crawling all over this story though. I mean, think just as far back as 8 years ago when "Y2K" was the topic on everyone's mind. Very many religious institutions had their own insight to the situation. I think I remember hearing "doomsday" and such. But this particle collider is something that man controls and is ultimately not getting much attention at all. Fascinating.

In a nutshell, scientists want to discover what atoms are made of.

If you smash two cars you find what the cars are made of. ie a wheel here, a fender there, glass everywhere. Same with atoms but smaller scale.

Haha yea there are some loonies out there. And when Y2K was going on, I had no idea lol.
This machine costed a whopping $4.4 billion huh?

I really think that research like this has a much higher chance of creation "fusion" - which would be amazing in itself. Talk about energy policy... but black holes just don't seem on the ticket. I mean, I'm not an expert on this. Nobody here is. It just seems so terribly unlikely that people are certain that this type of research will create black holes when mankind cannot yet document any set circumstances of how black holes are created in the first place... at least, not to my knowledge.

Once the scientists are done playing this thing I wonder what other purpose this machine will have.
