That CERN completely lied about the safety of the LHC is, of course, cannot in anyway being considered the slightest bit important.

But, what is truly important, is suicidal insanity. And personal opinions and conflicts of interest and vested interests completely replacing anything that could be considered mental health.

The Titanic is the safest ship afloat! Full speed ahead!

And it should be remembered that CERN isn’t the only lab engaging in hyper-compression technology. Other labs are doing it as well in their own respective ways. And any one of them could completely screw up at any time.

Hi there jimmy. I just wanna ask something. Where on Earth did you learn that kind of nonsense?

At HecO: The fact is that NASA assured us that this particle accelerator is not enough to produce a major catastrophe. Why? Because it can’t. Period.

At RickRoll: That’s true. To produce a black hole, the mass should be greater than the mass of the sun. And so far, not even this particle accelerator is enough to hold that kind of mass. And so far as well, our energy sources aren’t even enough to supply the energy required to produce that mass.

It is true that a miniature big bang can create matter and antimatter, yet it is not enough to produce a miniature universe that would hold miniature stars or even miniature black holes. God, we haven’t even produced huge amounts of antimatter!

So please science newbies, before you comment, do some God damn real research.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is building the particle accelerator, and is therefore responsible for making sure it won’t wipe out the planet. OH OK so thats supose to make people feel better that their lives are in someone elses hands lol. Bottom line a black hole is only as big as its mass so it wouldnt suck earth up but if this think blew it would still kill many innocent people. Some things are better not known. i dont understand why money is being spent on this when the world is suffering right now. We cant find a cure for aids but we can create the big bang?

what is being experimented could possibly corrupt the magnetic forces of this planet an create a new weather pattern that will affect the whole planet.
if the protons that created most of life are collided at such speed at a tempreture that created most of life it could cause an inbalance within the atoms around it and unbalance the dark matter wich holds the whole universe together.
if you then upset the electrons around the atoms you could create temperatures beyond human or plant tollerance.
experimenting under ground with this is dangerouse to the planet and life,even if you do it in space.
the possible way of doing this is within an atmosphere that has its own forcefield and its own atmosphere and is totaly secluded from the earth and human life

To make all my previous posts simpler, I think the size of big bang to be produced is only proportional to the amount of energy used by the accelerator. This is basic conservation of energy. Second, to produce a black hole, the mass required should be higher than the mass of the sun as suggested by the guy in the link I gave you. In other words, let’s stop fooling ourselves. The particle accelerator is too small to produce a black hole.

Uh.. I got this from searching:

A black hole is caused by the collapse of a star at the end of its life (The star must be at least three times more massive than the Sun). The core of the collapsed star becomes so dense and the gravitational forces so great that nothing, not even light, can escape. A black hole is not a tunnel. Any object that enters the edge or event horizon of the black hole falls into it. The gravitational forces inside would rip any matter apart.

One misconception about black holes is that they suck everything nearby into them like a huge vacuum cleaner. This is not necessarily true; only objects that fall within the event horizon go into the black hole. They will attract objects by virtue of their mass and gravity just as the star that bore them did (remember that the black hole has the same mass as the star, just more compact, or dense). If the Sun were to instantly become a black hole, many people think that it would suck the Earth into it (Although the Sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole). But if you examine Newton’s law of gravity above, neither the mass of the Sun nor the Earth changes, and neither does the distance between them. So, the Earth would experience the same gravitational attraction to the Sun if it became a black hole as it does now. The Earth would merely orbit the black hole, just as it orbits the Sun now (The loss of sunlight would cause severe problems for life on Earth, however).

I’m not really a physicist so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Correct me if I’m wrong but as far as I remember, Big Crunch only eats the same amount of matter produced by big bang.

Theoretical, its all that it is. We don`t know much its all about theories, calculated from observations and theories from many scientific minds.
In this case we can`t afford to be wrong, one of the first things that came to my mind was the law of relativity.
The gravitational force of a black hole, even on a small scale.
We have heard about gravity waves as from Einstein@home, we can`t even be sure that time is constant. Because we are always in the moment, we don`t know if time is slow or fast we are all on earth in it.
Think about the effect from black holes, bending of time that is chilling.
If a black hole is formed, even on a microscopic scale.
Could that cause a time warp effect?
If that would happen, would that cause the black hole to stay open longer than predicted?
If such a time warp effect would occur then the event would have more time to accumulate, and perhaps even grow.
The thing is, we can`t be certain as it all is based on theories.
We also don`t know what other effect might appear when it comes to spacial dimensions and what effect that might have on such event.

Well, this is a theory like all others. But it makes us think, what might happen.
And is it safe to gamble on such a big scale?

If history repeats itself, then maybe our ever growing universe too will repeat itself again. What i mean is, what if the black holes that we have somewhat confirmed to exist, pull all the light and matter into immense gravitational pockets throughout space that will eventually be compressed into something subatomic. As stated by Steve Prentice, the Big Bang itself was ounce subatomic. If history does repeat itself, then everything inside this pocket of matter and gravity will eventually heat up and create another Big Bang.

BLACK HOLE CONTINUE TO GROW
Big hole in the Earth where Europe used to be!

=================
Anyway, shouldn’t the scientists send out some sort of signal to the universe saying what they are about to? Just in case, of course [lol].

I can’t believe the cave-man mentality of some of the comments on such a potentially devastating experiment! How many watched the TV show on the Science channel that CERN put on? It was obvious that they didn’t even know what would happen-for certain! I say, it is obvious that there is lacking a great deal of common sense about this experiment, which is usually the case with overly intelligent types. I truly appreciate science and how far it has taken us so far, but we have to be realistic as to the strong possibility of evaporating our humanity, or causing disastorous results, and do these physists at CERN have the answers to rectify the problems they may create? Have they thought that far even? I have emailed CERN a couple of times asking such questions with no response. I think that common sense is telling all of the people that wrote their comments above, that is is wrong. That in thier rush (CERN), to get a Nobel prize out of this experiment, they are foregoing common sense. Why do we need this experiment? What possible unseen/undiscovered particles might be affected by this expeirment, in their tube, and what can anyone really do about the bad results? This is a very serious situation! I truly hope that the right people step in and stop it before it is to late. Thank you. Jeanne

[…] My friend Sara linked me to this story earlier, in which one of the aforementioned judicial astrologer’s quatrains is quoted. The writer (and I use the term loosely) of the article asks us to consider whether this prophecy might warn that the Large Hadron Collider - the massively exciting particle accelerator soon to begin operating at CERN in Switzerland - is going to destroy the world and kill us all.
