The LHC and Black Holes
-
Howdoes everyone out there feel about the looming danger?:~
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

Not really, wednesday they only did a single particle test, and the LHC won't be fully operational until next year. this is when the black hole experiments begin
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.

You're about a week behind the curve on this discussion... Think of something original to post.

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There is a rather great difference between quoting the dead in one's signature to a post, and actually posting on outdated subject matter.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

It's no big deal, if the LHC really does create a mini-black hole we'll just put a mini-cork in it. (I'm betting the doomsayers' knowledge of physics doesn't extend far enough for them to point out any flaws in this.)

If i hurt you feeling, I'm sorry :(

Big money had nothing to do with the Challenger explosion, it was unseasonably cold weather that deteriorated the O-rings.
