Ok, the LHC didn't create a black hole, but the 10th
of September was only a test run. The protones still didn't smash
into each other, so we can live a bit longer and practice our kicks
for
a few
more
weeks.
For those who don't know what I am talking about:
CERG built a 27 km ring ( between France and Switzerland ) to accelerate
protones to light speed, smash them into each other and see what's
inside. The impact will be with double light speed.
Today they just tried if the machine works when they send protones
one way. ( no big bang yet )
They are trying to proof the existence of the higgs boson,
so that they can explain how elementary
particles acquire properties such as mass. If that works, soon we
will be able to control mass and maybe we will me able to fly around
without pollution.
They don't know what will happen exactly, but the expectations are
high. After all the project was planned over 20 years and the constructions
time was 7 years. This is the biggest, most expensive and probably
the most significant experiment in our history. Find
more info on wikipedia.
They say that a spot 100000 times hotter
than the sun will be created for a moment, and that conditions like
shortly
after
the big bang will be reconstructed. Steven Hawkins says that there
will
be
tiny
black
holes, which will
fall apart within less than a second.
Well, he has a theory after which black holes die faster if they
have less mass. If a black hole appears in the LHC and dies shortly
after,
he will probably be the next nobel price winner.
Risks:
Again, nobody knows what will happen, and if mother earth
still exists after the 21st of october, many of us will be assuaged
;)
Of course the community of scientists say that there are no risks
at all. But that's the standard answer when a scientist wants to
experiment. An experiment is an experiment and they can't
promise what
they don't know. If you google around and look up LHC on youtube,
you will find hundreds of worst case scenarios from black holes,
and scenarios where
the earth turns into a second sun to a new mass that throws the
earth out of its orbit or where a new universe swaps over us.
Well, we will see.
Or maybe not, because they say whatever happens, it will happen very
very fast.
Interesting.
A hacker group sabotaged the LHC's official website and sent personal
messages to the scientists. ( they were accused to be the destroyers
of the universe ). I hope CERG did a better job on the LHC than
on the security system of their website.
My opinion:
Why not try. Sooner or later the climate change or a meteoroid or
a cloverfield monster will kill us all.
We have to anticipate the
cloverfield monster ! LOL
Thousands of years ago a stone was dangerous. 1 person could get
hurt. Then you were were able to kill many people with one and
the same sword. 100 years ago on explosion killed 50 people
with at once and nuclear fission can destroy an entire city.
Maybe soon we will have "THE POWER" to destroy the entire universe.
Ok... A bit off topic, but this was too interesting.
Had to share my thoughts.
Good bye and best regards.
