yes, I was following up on that during the built. It's a tedious task. Can't wait to see what it does.

I think this was in Popular Mechanics a few years ago.

Scheduled to begin operation May 2008.

People are freaking out over this thing too because its supposed to create miniature black holes. They have predicted that they won't last more than a couple of seconds though because of their small size. I can't wait to see results from the LHC though.

They have predicted that they won't last more than a couple of seconds though because of their small size. I can't wait to see results from the LHC though.Although the Standard Model of particle physics predicts that LHC energies are far too low to create black holes, some extensions of the Standard Model posit the existence of extra spatial dimensions, in which it would be possible to create micro black holes at the LHC at a rate on the order of one per second. According to the standard calculations these are harmless because they would quickly decay by Hawking radiation. The concern is that Hawking radiation is not yet an experimentally-tested, or naturally observed phenomenon, and so micro black holes might not decay as rapidly as calculated, thereby accumulating inside the earth and devouring it.


...great.

Wait a second, how can you create a miniature black hole? I mean even if it was the size of pin head it would still have to be more massive than the earth. And Hawking Radiation is just to damn weird of a concept to put the fate of survival in. It is an interesting concept as well, but I don't see this machine as anything more than a giant particle accelerator, which in and on itself is a marvelous thing.

I have my doubts about what results this machine will produce.

I have my doubts about what results this machine will produce.It's gonna take us back in time. What more do you wont?

Looks like something i built for my high school science project....


Good luck my little friend...
