But think what is worst case scenario with any disaster... multiply that a 100 fold.
we could be looking at catastrophe of such levels waiting to heppen

put it this way... should it go wrong, (highly unlikely), the repercussions will probably see us vanish in a puff of dust before we even realise it went wrong...
what should worry you is if a sufficiently stable black hole were to form, the planet would be eaten out from the inside... .which means, for a short period of time, you will be living next door to a pommie... given the time dilation that is theorised to exist within a black hole, this could turn into and eternity.. which is about as close to hell as you could get...

good point D3PART3D_
i mean,yes the most of us not knowledge even near to the minds working this project,but come on ppl there's a part in all of us sayin "this could go really bad" or something along that lne...and what can you do bout it?

People will always persue that which is out of our boundries, there are only few who'd think this too risky/dangerous to experiment with, yet there will always be someone who would carry on as the risk weighs a lot less for them than the potential it could possibly hold.
Remember tests were due to have started this month already.
The beginning of operations is about six-months behind schedule due to a series of misfortunate accidents and mistakes. In one incident, small-sized magnets, which are located around the tunnel, were damaged when placed under pressure as part of a process to test the LHC. These magnets had to be repaired or replaced.
In addition, one of the large 20-ton magnets was damaged when it was lifted off its mountings, which forced an evacuation when the tunnel was filled with helium gas and dust. The problem was brought about by mistakes in the building of the magnets and anchors.
Or, maybe nothing will happen and all the scientists will stand there with red faces (all +7000 scientists).

ah, but even if time were to be stretched, it would have no effect on our experience of it because our ability to experience would have to exist on that same timeline... Get my point? If it inflicted an eternity of pain, it would still take an eternity for our processing capacity to catch up, and if time were to loop, every time would be the first and only. but I hope you're right and its unlikely.rustypup wrote:put it this way... should it go wrong, (highly unlikely), the repercussions will probably see us vanish in a puff of dust before we even realise it went wrong...

the listening monks purportedly heard the noise which occurred just after the big bang... some pommie calling in to complain...

Goodness! After I read Angels and Demons I thought the LHC has been up and running for years! It just goes to show what I know about the real world.Futs wrote:This sounds alot like Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.

Let’s get serious for a minute.
What about the radiation this ‘particle accelerator’ creates.
Researcher’s think that the particles are disappearing into the fireball's core and reappearing as thermal radiation, just as matter is thought to fall into a black hole and come out as "Hawking" radiation. However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to pose a threat. They (the scientists) think that these energies and distances, gravity is not the dominant force in a black hole... @#&*$ Sure...
Hope they are right anyway.

Re: Playing God
This might be a bit off topic...
But still, the idea about a particle accelerator is interesting, but in my opinion I don't really think that a single machine would be able to blow up the whole world.
What's this junk about this "big bang" ? This MYTH never happened and was just made to divert people from the truth. You want some proof? Go find your Bible and start reading at Genesis 1:1 !!!JFK wrote: The New York Times and International Herald Tribune announced the intentions of a global group of physicists to re-create the environment of the early universe so they can better understand the Big Bang. After a hundred years of theory, discussion, and lab tests, the time has come to test results at a higher level.
