Is there life after CERN?
Is there life after CERN? Will a black hole swallow the earth? Such titled PM magazine in its July issue that my husband bought and kindly showed to me upon my arrival in Germany. He means well, I should add, my blood pressure is often too low, especially after long-distance flights, and in such condition I’m not good for anything.
PM is a popular German magazine that reports in a usually entertaining way on science and engineering. I never much read it because to my taste there’s always been too much engineering in it, but it makes for a nice read on the beach or so. The PM article about black holes at the LHC is unfortunately a) in German and b) not available online, but you can look at the two-page illustration here and read the first paragraphs here. You get the flavor I presume, we’ve all seen numerous articles of that sort during the last months. For an extensive discussion of the key points, see our previous posts on Micro Black Holes, Black Holes at the LHC – again, Black Holes at the LHC – What can happen, and Black Holes at the LHC – the CERN Safety report.

The sister/brother to the Black Holes, are Expanding Quantum Wormholes! The gravitational effects could start a chain-reaction of quantum wormholes, that could begin to unravel, or better yet, redistribute our dimensional Time structure. Relativistic Time-Shifts could start dividing our ‘reality’ in some bizarre fashion. Unrecognizable, like “Alice Through the Looking Glass, and What She Found There”! Even shifting through parallel dimensions, if they truly exist! The LHC program is designed to verify the ‘Standard Model’, which the LHC has been built/based upon. It has been said “We must take risks in order to make progress in science”, and that is exactly what this is, a calculated risk. If there are ‘any’ misinterpretations of the ‘Standard Model’, then your guess is as good as theirs’!

Remember: Go Ask Alice, I think she’ll know!
Even if France makes a black hole, which I seriously doubt. It will be the size of a photon at most, and noone would be able to see it or measure it anyways, so it’s completely moot.
what could be the worst thing happening to human life if the CERN Goes WRONG? Congrats for your first achievement. WHY CANNOT this experiment be done in space? what all theories will it prove?AND I want to know more about cern.
BUT WHY TO PLAY WITH NATURE
LEAVE IT AS IT IS!!
They haven’t actually started high energy collision tests yet, so… the black hole possibility is still there. Here’s what might happen (it’s a flash but it shows the real possibility):

The guys behind LHC say nothing like that will happen and suggest that nature conducts similar experiments in the Earth’s atmosphere every day. However Dr Wagner is pretty sure that nature does not collide two highly focused beams of particles with the energies seen only when the universe was born. See his web site here:

The second argument of CERN is that even if a microscopic black hole appears, it will quickly evaporate due to hawking radiation. However, hawking radiation is just a theory. Hawking changed his mind about black holes once, and there’s not reason to think he’d get it right this time. There’s not reason to bet your life, the life of your children and the future of the planet based on a word of one quantum physicist.
Even though the odds of the black hole appearing are not that high, did anyone ask you if you’re willing to trust a bunch of scientists with your life just so that they can test their theories?
I sure hope that the next time $6 bln dollars are spent by scientists it will be on finding cure for cancer and not the hypothetical higgs particle. Last time quantum physicists produced something useful resulted in millions of people dead in Hirohima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl.
The first high power experiments will be conducted end of 2008 or early 2009, so there’s still time to stop this doomsday device.
I hope that anyone who cares about the future will take an action. Please suggest your ideas on how to do this (no violence, please).
I hope that if enough of us try to sto LHC, we will be able to save our planet.
This scares me alot.Earth will be destroyed on december 21,2012.
That is the day that the maya calendar stops.They did not know what the reason would be but they knew that something would change forever that day.Scientists DO NOT play but stop those machines and let us stay on this unic planet.
If not….farwell.
