CERN's LHC and Black Holes - Fact or fiction?CERN's LHC and Black Holes - Fact or fiction?

Do we need to be worried? Do we need more research?

Latest comment: We cannot get anything 100% right, so it follows, this "thing" will run at say 70% of what was expected,20% of what was promised, having cost 1000% more than stated at the outset of design, ending life as a 1,000,000% cost over-run, proving nothing, the only "Black Hole" is the budget which we all got "Sucked" (suckered) into!

So much time and money has been put in this project that a couple of pseudoscientists' illegitimate concerns aren't going to halt it.

I say scrap the project. Who needs all those eggheads and their cockamamie experiments that have no practical value. They should all be forced to go out and get real jobs.

If the Mayans were so good at seeing things coming, perhaps they'd still be with us ?

I think half these guys should collapse up their own black hole and go get a job that makes a difference

Ok simple answer, Black hole, we all die, no effect on us as we are already dead. No black hole, we all live until we do have a black hole. So again, no effect as we wont realise the experiment has happened. OOW Im so clever, sing it with me.

NBW - What happens if the machine breaks down and they take 4 years to fix it? Bet you'd be shitting it then.

Frank: '23 mile' is actually 27km 'a few protons' a hundred billion protons per bunch I simply don't know enough about the topic to question whether it will create a black hole or strangelets, and neither do you so sto pretending.

2+2 certainly is not 4 harrybanks

Reminds me of the scare of meeting monsters at the end of the world. Those stupid flat-earthers... The probability of being all killed by some nasty alien species is certainly higher than encountering a super black hole in the streets of Geneva! Well, of course, that argument will not satisfy them, they're surely already convinced that Men In Black is no fiction...

What does the pictures have to do with this black hoe he's talking about?

And there are cosmic rays hitting the moon and earth every second that are even higher in energy and more capable of creating these black-holes than the LHC...Earth and moon are still here...even after billions of years of running the experiment. Perhaps there's no cause for concern and this is just a load of bull from scientists that had their funding cut???

Real jobs??? CERN created the web, and that's only one among the many industrial/commercial apps that have emerged.

hopefully this will help us find a unified theory and be able to mathamatically prove how the beginning of the universe went, so we can be as certain of it as 2+2=4. I'd say they have pretty cool very real jobs:D

Can't be the end of the world - that's set for December 21st, 2012 according to the Mayan calendar

Shutup Bob, just cuz ur brain isn't able to process science doesn't mean you should belittle it.

To create a real black hole requires the death os a star - something a lot bigger than the 23 mile diameter LHC. Also we are talking about a few protons, admittedly near the speed of light, colliding. Not a Star collapsing at the speed of whatever. We are throwing a drop of water into the Pacific with this experiment - no worries.

Why would we die? Weve been using particle accelerators for ages (and yes, I know this is a new one). People just looove doomsday prophecies. Remember y2k? That was crazy fun panic lol
