The LHC and Black Holes

Howdoes everyone out there feel about the looming danger?:~
I cover my head with aluminium foil to divert the Hawking radiation or whatever evil comes and carry a brown paper bag with me all the time. In case a black hole is lying in wait for me, I put the bag over my head, duck and cover in the gutter and hope to get off scot-free. As you can see, I've been lucky so far. The paper bag also comes handy when I can't stand the pressure of fear of those dark days to come any more and need to get dead-drunk and then need to barf... Just don't forget to NOT put it over your head afterwards...

I don't feel bothered - I think it's a load of inflated nonsense. My loathing for The Sun and local Bristol papers has also been increased (the quality of reporting, bias and representation of facts was god damn awful) although I've never liked tabloids much anyway. Regards, --Perspx

The closer one is located to the black hole and the earlier one's sucked in, the better. The later you come, the bigger the throng will be. And I'd hate to be squashed by those crowds... Smithers-Jones is planning next year's holiday near Geneva

The headline on the (stupid) school newspaper the other day said "World not swallowed by black hole." I'm glad they told me, because I sure was wondering.

So we can abuse you in the appropriate fashion for bringing up this garbage.

You should have gotten your desire to abuse out of your system yesterday. ;P And because I vented you I'll even 5 you today for good measure.:cool:

Na, a repost and LHC at the same time re-envigorates my need to abuse.

The Travel Channel (of all places) did a thing on the LHC the other night. It was very long but very good. I think it pretty much dissipated any concerns I might have had (though I had none to begin). My only real concern about the whole project is could it become dangerous if terrorist overtook the facility and if so to what end? I came to the show late and if that had been discussed already I missed it.

I think it is highly unlikely you could find a terrorist with sufficient technical knowledge to do anything unusual with the LHC..., and one could just cut the power supply.

What looming danger? There is no solid proof the LHC is going to cause any threats to the well being of the planet.

There is a rather great difference between quoting the dead in one's signature to a post, and actually posting on outdated subject matter.

Touche' I had forgotten that. It would need tremendous power and I'm sure there are kill switches everywhere. :-\

Okay, now that you've revealed the tinfoil on your head, it really is time to move this piece of trol drek to the soapbox...
