LHC still will not destroy the Earth

OK, here’s the deal: some people are claiming the Large Hadron Collider in Europe will destroy the Earth because it might create little black holes or quantum strangelets which will gobble us down in an orgiastic feast of quantum gormandery.

Pretty much every real scientist on the planet then said, nope, won’t happen. Prominent bloggers wrote about it. Late-night talk shows made jokes about it.

Still, people fretted and worried. So CERN went back, looked over its older safety assessment (which initially concluded that everything was cool), and published a revised safety estimate.

  1. With half the ‘Standard Model’ missing, shrouded within a mathematical haze of pure speculation (guessing); and the LHC being built upon these precepts, there is no telling what surprises lie ahead at CERN! At least one sector of the ‘Standard Model’ will receive a sweeping tsunami of change, that will send mathematicians and physicists scrambling wildly to install the much needed corrections. A BRAVE NEW WORLD! It will take the LHC, to lift the physics community out of their current stagnated, depressing, and quagmired positions! There is no doubt, that the future world desperate energy needs lie in LHC technologies; however, the production course should be traveled with extreme caution! The LSAG ’safety report’ contains only references to previous public dockets of concern, and at the 2008 lower energy ’start-up’ projections, but not of the pre-planned decade of precision energy upgrades to come! In 2009, CERN LHC shall move forward, actuating these upgrade-graduations. I predict, at the CERN LHC ALICE Heavy (Pb) Ion collisions, scheduled for 2009 (once financed): a quantum inverse radiation - plasmatic field response (opposite and equal reaction), during these collisions, that will affect a gravitational curvature within the fabric of Space/Time. This could create a compression singularity vortex to form, that would allow for an event-horizon expansion to occur. The formation of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge: QUANTUM WORMHOLE! If the magnitude boundary expansion is sufficient, it could by induction, interact with the cryonic superconductor dipoles, and detector hardware array! At this time, CERN is grappling with multiple variance-calculation paradoxes, even as the ’safety report’ was being penned by Michelangelo Mangano (and others)!

  2. I’ve read about the Quantum Wormhole debate, on MSNBC ‘Behind Closed Doors’ investigative reports! I thought it was just a rumor, but now it’s showing up all over the place!!! Concerned!
