LHC Discussion (supposed end of the world)

[HabsAZillion]

of course it wont. i hope. there is a 1:5000000000 chance, that means that if there are 5000000000 planets and an LHC was on all 5000000000, only one will blow up. So, to prove that worlds will blow up with this we'll need 5000000000 planets and about €100 billion (in € because it is in Switzerland, so it is approx. £80127003828.47). So, no.

dude, its 1 in 10,000 chance.

It was on the news last night i'm sure it's 1 in so many million chance of even a mini black hole being created (never mind the earth being destroyed) we did about this a while ago in physics. They are just firing protons at near the speed of light in a 27KM tube then is cooled down to -271 degrees (1.9 degrees from absolute 0) then when they hit each other they take loads of pictures and then analyse it. The scientists say that mini black holes could be create but they will be the size of a proton and last a billionth of a nano second as they will just eat themselves oh and they are doing it to find out more about how our universe was made and to find the forumla of everything (why there is more Matter then Anti-matter) It's all very confusing and most of it is pointless but it is thought they can use it in the future to create energy (simulating two hydrogens atoms fusing together to create a helium one which releases enerygy, it's what happens on the sun)

Little science lesson for you there. And if you really wanna learn about the destruction of the earth just search "21 December 2012" lol it's the creatism religion that belive the world will end that day because earth passes Planet X or summet and on that day an alien aircraft will fly over space and all the people who die will go flying up into in or summet loony like that

personally I think this could be a scientific breakthrough, I'm not 'scientifically minded' nor do I have a huge interest in science, but if this works it'll be great. It will also make all the religions fall apart

[Virgin Mary]

It will also make all the religions fall apart

How exactly?

[Neversoft]

dude, its 1 in 10,000 chance.

I highly doubt theres 1 in 10,000 chance of everyone dying.

Sux if the experiment dosnt work.

You can, because science has proven that nothing disastrous is going to come from the LHC. In this world of health and safety gone mad, if there was a genuine chance at destruction, the project would have been abandoned. Numerous colliders have been active over the years, and in a couple of decades time, an even larger hadron collider will be in use. Those saying "the world is going to end" are the sensationalistic media, because more often then not, the truth does not sell a good story.

The scientists said there would be a 1 in 53,000,000 chance that the world would be sucked into a black hole so it is possible, but its unlikely.

doubt it.
i have never heard anything about this so called LHC or whatever irl, no-one has ever mentioned it & now people talking about it on here :S
seriously doubt it though

same here.

but what happens happens, what are we gonna do about it.

[Andys]

It's a 1 in 1,000,000.
Anyway. If we do get sucked into a black hole, why does everyone asume we'll die? No-one knows what's on the other side of one.
