These guys who think the world would be destroyed and science should be stoped are exactly these guys who said you would fall into nothing when u travel to far on the big oceans, in a time they still thought the world were flat.

Hawking said micro-black-holes would collapse instantly after they have been created. I personally believe him and all the CERN people, because they seem to be a lot cleverer than I am, know a lot more about physics.

And even if there would be a stable micro-black-hole of the size of an electron, it would take millions of years to anhilate earth.

Everyone who feared the world ending on Wednesday was truly clueless. There was never any chance of anything like that happening on Wednesday since they are haven’t moved onto the collision stage yet.

The perceived danger is from the massive energy released when they fire two streams of protons into each other. That didn’t happen on Wednesday. All they did on Wednesday was fire a single stream around the circle, there was no colliding involved. What was done is simple particle acceleration, which is done hundreds of times in various particle accelerators around the world each day/week/month.

The possible danger will come in a few months time when they are actually ready to fire two streams of protons at each other to form a collision. That is also when they will be collecting their data and is the main focus of the experiment.

The Hopi (people of peace) have a name for these egg-heads. It is bahanna. It means “two hearts”. I refer you to the Hopi Prophecy Rock. I do not want black holes and strange near my beautiful earth mother. 1 love. technoshaman.

Perhaps I’m incorrect, but isn’t it the atom smashing part that had people so worried about black holes being created or some other end to existence?

Who cares. I’m up for the mirror universe idea, though…

We wouldn’t know if the earth ended or not because the LHC generated a warp bubble! ;)

As long as all this smashing brings about some kick ass matter-antimatter reactors / warp cores im all for it!
what do YOU think?

The hype behind all this “Science or DOOM” Reminds me of that Invader Zim Cartoon where Professor Membrane creates a Perpetual Energy Generator, and Zim tries to blow up the world with it.

Glad there are no little green aliens in Switzerland.

# 67. Bwahahahaha!!!! Yes! The only “Deep Impact” I’m worried about is trying on some sexy underwear with one of her girlfriends in the next room! (”…one or BOTH!” – Riker) XD

I’m reminded of Q’s line from Q Who:

“If you can’t take a little bloody nose, maybe you ‘ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It’s not safe out here. It’s WONDROUS, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross,

but it’s not for the timid.”

GOD I love that line!

So yeah, let’s hear it for the end of the world – and while we’re at it – I’VE got a comet Channel 12 can sensationalize!

(it’s in my pants)

Rock.

@6,

No, you’re not the only one.

I figured the thing wouldn’t blow up Earth (or whatever people claim it was supposed to do).

Bunch of media hype; much ado over nothing.

Go LHC!
