The World Ends In 9 Days!

I can't be bothered to explain because its fairly complicated but it is very interesting so please read the info at the following link:

UPDATE.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24556999/

Just found this is an artical on MSN.com and it explains the whole earth getting distroyed by a black whole theory a lot better.

Despite a series of reassuring scientific studies, Wagner and others insist that the black holes might not fizzle out, and they fear that the mini-singularities produced by the Large Hadron Collider will fall to the center of the earth, grow larger and swallow more and more of Earth's matter.

Strangelets, monopoles and more

Black holes aren't Wagner's only worry: He also is concerned that when the collider creates a soup of free-flying quarks, some of those quarks might recombine in a hazardous way — creating a stable, negatively charged "strangelet" that could turn everything it touches into more strangelets.

The lawsuit also suggests that magnetic monopoles — basically, magnets with only a north or a south pole, but not both — could be created in the collider and wreak havoc.

ANOTHER UPDATE... LMAO

I covered this in A level physics and I'm pretty sure that it will not cause total planetary destruction. IMO if we do find the Higgs Boson as a result of this, the professor at Edinburgh Uni will get a noble prize for suggesting the existence of the Higgs Boson but not being able to prove its existence.

As for it being switched on, they have been launching protons around it for a few months now but they intend to start the collision with the anti-protons in the next few days.

I remember this being talked about before, but according to some upper being tf members who were certain on this, it has already been turned on. Hmm.

Either way. I hope they have precautions in place to stop this turning into a huge failure.

It is, they have fired protons around it to make sure its behaving as expected. That's turned on.

They have been cooling it for weeks and only then will it be ready to perform the experiment it was built for.

Tamnessknows where it's at.

Besides, f**k the tabloid sensationalism, everyone knows the world ends in 2012.

SCIENTISTS are trying to stop the most powerful experiment ever – saying the black holes it will there is a 1 in (insert huge number here) chance it'll create could destroy the world.

f**king idiots. Yes, there is a chance that this thing could create a black hole. They should learn the difference between will and might. What's next? Russia will invade Europe, America, Africa and Oz? Masturbation will be prohibited by law?

edit: anyway, didn't know this was due so soon, thought they'd be building this accelerator for another few years. Really interested to see what they discover.

Apparently, what actually happens in a black hole is that it bends time, and so rather than actually being sucked in and crushed, you are stretched apart, and that time slows down relative to you as you go closer into it.

Hmm

I don't get how there can be 'small' black holes. They're all small. They're the smallest thing in the universe - singularity.
