The LHC and Black Holes

It's what you don't see that tells you there's a black hole ;-)

until next year. this is when the black hole experiments begin
I thought it was supposed to be next month?

I thought it was supposed to be this weekend or next week. Time to go and pay a visit to CERN's site :)

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

Ignore him, clearly just another conspiracy-theorist troll

Touche' I had forgotten that. It would need tremendous power and I'm sure there are kill switches everywhere. :-\
Worse comes to worse, you just drop the whole area off the grid.

Howdoes everyone out there feel about the looming danger?:~

I worry about where my next check is coming from a lot more than whether colliding two protons together will create a black hole that eats up the earth. And besides, if a black hole devours the earth, my first problem is solved. Marc

And can we tear apart the next person who mentions anything about a certain new web browser-not-to-be-named, too :rolleyes:

Yup, that browser-not-to-be-named only lived for 1 minute on this machine. CP menu was all screwed up and that did for me :-\

Not mine, but you likely pissed John off.

But, if the OP were living in some LHC generated blackhole, the gravity would prevent any of his banter from getting out to CP ;P

Unfortunately, black holes only consume matter, not bullshit...

You tell me to be original, well why don't you make your own comments instead of stealing from the dead, original? I think not:P
A lot of people here put my comments in their sigs. Original? Certainly, many times more often then you.

The danger is they'll find the Higgs and boredom will dominate theretic physicist life. :-D

Apparently you did not read the report on the Challenger disaster. It was found that the people with the purse strings ignored the scientists who said the rings would fail in the cold weather; this information was suppressed by their supervisors. And as far as the senseless babbling, I know my facts. Do you?

Bullshit has no matter, therefore doesn't get sucked in :laugh: So, give the universe enough time to get sucked in by blackholes and all that's left is b.s. :sigh:

Do you have any credible links supporting this?

Yeah, I was home sick from school that day and saw it happen. Stop the conspiracy crap you are spouting. No one is really interested in some far fetched idea of big money conspiring disasters. That's best left for the Soapbox where the gloves are off.
