If they knew the world would end they wouldn't do it full stop, someone will put their foot down. Everyone is worrying for no reason.
People went to court to try and stop it I think.Quote:

I doubt it will happen, but apparently if it does go wrong it will take effects in 4 years time, which is 2012, the same year that those people predicted the world would end :)
load of ****

ScienceDaily (Sep. 5, 2008) — A new report provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)’s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind. Nature’s own cosmic rays regularly produce more powerful particle collisions than those planned within the LHC, which will enable nature’s laws to be studied in controlled experiments.
If black holes will be created, they will be "quantum" black holes, that can NOT harm the Earth. The collisions made by the LHC are dwarfed in comparison to NATURAL COLLISIONS from rays to the earth. In other words, it is completely safe.
Well we can ask the Australians on Tuesday :D.
I think the answer to your question is within the name of that link...Quote:

Coincidence? I don't think so.
I heard that 2012 is also the date that the Russians and Americans will fire bombs everywhere but they will get sucked into the blackhole and the Mayanaises will rise from the dead and kill everyone.
i was waiting for the "big massive machine the scientists made" to be added to the 2012 reasons we might die list.
OMGZ LYKE I BETTER GIVE MA FURNI AWAY!!!
GOODBYE ALL!!!!1111
For this experiment to happen, wouldn't the government from nearly every country have to agree?
what a load of ********

Do people not realise that since the 1980s there have been colliders of different size functioning, and that an even bigger hadron collider will be built and active in a couple of decades time? They're safe, end of.
It's a 1 in 60 million chance of a black hole being created
Even if it does happen it won't be all slow and like "OMG IM DYING VERRRRY SLOWLY"
It'll be like *BAM* your dead :)
OMGZZZ ITZ GUNNA ENDD LYK IN 2006!!1!!11!!!
oh dear goodbye bruno :(
LOL
The times website names the article - 'Greatest scientific experiment in history'
The Sun then goes and says the world is due to end.
There is a 1 in 60 million chance of the protons creating a black hole on impact, due to such density (the cause of a black hole in the first place) but it would be so small it would dissapear immediately.
We've been talking about it in physics cos we're doing Particle Physics in A level atm.
If a black hole were to be created however, the world would be sucked up so quickly we wouldn't notice a thing. Everyone expects something shocking to happen immediately, but the truth is it'll take months, even years, for scientists to interpret what it signifies.
I can actually see a upside to this situation.Quote:

We hear all this end of the world with the LHC, but what about the december 12 2012 thread? Is that more likely than the LHC or is that a load of crap? Why is it such an important date?
AFAIK, the eight planets come into alignment with each other, which supposedly does something?Quote:

Its that bloody black hole machine init?!
Can people please stop getting all worked up about getting sucked in to a black hole please?
Basically it's a big 18 mile particle accelerator where two protons will be fired at eachother, virtually at the speed of light. This will recreate the density of the Universe less than a billionth of a second after the big bang.
The reason they're doing it is because there is one piece missing in working out what happened during the Big Bang, and this will hopefully give scientists the answer.
Don't expect something drastic to happen, like a massive explosion or some sort of weird sound wave sweeping over the planet. It'll take months, even years for scientists to find the answers from studying the results.
There is indeed a 1 in 60 million chance of a black hole being created however, but these would merely collapse in less than a second due to their size.
This time next week, the chances are (1 in 59,999,999) that we'll have all forgotten about it.

Not only is it to find out the secrets of the origin of the Universe, but it has several other departments there who are also trying to work on stuff such as curing cancer and disposing of nuclear waste efficiently.

Prove it.
Yes we know this already, stop adding to the mass hysteria by creating YET another thread.
Well said Cypher.
This thread is more annoying than the 100s of threads saying the world will end.
Particles collide in nature with much more energy than collisions in the LHC, and we're still here.
Anyway, I'd like to point out that wednesday is just their first attempt of circulating a beam around it. The first proper high energy collisions don't happen until next month
Exactly! I don't see the big deal seeing as we won't even have a chance to realise it has ended the world...(if it does happen to that is).Quote:

Its actually 21st December 2012. Its when the Mayan Calendar ends and apparently they could foretell what was going to happen on certain days or something.
