Wow. The world was supposed to end today, and I didn't even get the memo. Guess I'll go back to TF2.
damnit! i'm a few days late to the party!Originally posted by: Deeko
When scanning over topic titles, I thought the summary said "Large Hardon Collision".
I was concerned.
This thing can put particles up to 7 TeV, and if you put two of them in a head-on collision, you get a collision energy of 14 TeV.Originally posted by: OdiN
One question I'm wondering - is they are comparing the things that happen when a cosmic ray hits earth to what they are doing - with an artificial, man made machine. I read in their safety report a bunch of times where they were saying "cosmic rays don't cause this, so we're fine" - how can we compare the two different things? Doesn't make much sense.

Did Nostradamus predict the Large Hadron Collider? Will the Earth disappear into a black hole of its own making?

Heaven will get sucked into the black hole, too.Originally posted by: Fraggable

Maybe. I'm glad I know that when I die I'm going to Heaven. Aren't you?

Cosmic radiation energies are much higher than that. IF anything was going to create a micro-black hole, cosmic radiation would have been just that for billions of years. We're playing with toys compared to what nature already wields every day.

What would be cool is if it created a black hole that consumed the entire universe. Afterward it explodes in what would be called a Big Bang and a new universe is created. So it would work out that Man creates the universe.

Neutrinos can pass through ordinary matter with little interaction. But other charged particles, such as protons or neutrons, will interact readily.
The universe has been spewing charged particles at Earth for a long time, in a whole spectrum of energies, encompassing those of the LHC. If anything could have caused a magic black hole to wipe out a planet, Earth, Venus, Jupiter - or any of the planets - would have been destroyed already, long before the existence of our species.

god damnit. i was hoping to be torn to shreds by a black hole now. fail.
the theme song for the LHC should be aenema

Any updates on this?
Did a quick search but didn't find anything.
