If critics are to be believed, the end of the universe will begin coming Wednesday when a Welsh miner's son launches the world's biggest scientific experiment to know how the universe was born "...................................Otto Rossler, a retired German chemist, said he feared the experiment may create a devastating quasar - a mass of energy fuelled by black holes - inside the earth. Jets emanating from it would grow and catastrophes such as earthquakes and tsunamis would occur at the points they emerged from the earth.

"The weather will change completely, wiping out life, and very soon the whole planet will be eaten in a magnificent scenario - if you could watch it from the moon. A Biblical Armageddon. Even cloud and fire will form, as it says in the Bible." ........................

Full Story: *timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Worlds_biggest_scientific_experiment/rssarticleshow/3454743.cms

He said that attempts were still being made in the European Court of Human Rights to halt the experiment on the grounds that it violated the right to life. The court has, however, already rejected calls for a temporary delay in the project.

Its just another news material to show for the whole month for our Hindi News channels, nothing else.

Instead of showing the truth, they are trying to make money by making it spicy. I found only "Star news" and "Live India" (New news channel) showing the truth. They told that there is nothing to worry about it. At least some Hindi news channels are still worth to watch.

Me just wondering, that let's say a black was formed and it would gobble the whole earth and stuff, so if it farts as they say throws out or something, would the dead be back? Would we time travel? Would be in some other dimension?

On a serious note, wouldn't the scientists at CERN be the first to be eaten by the black hole? So wouldn't they be aware of this?

Also, as engadget says, kiss your kids goodbye, turn on your computer and go here and see live the collider doing whatever that it will do:

To bring some tech talk into this..,

I hope it doesn't run on Windows :p

Worldwide, the LHC computing grid will be comprised of about 20,000 servers, primarily running the Linux operating system. Scientists at Tier-2 sites can access these servers remotely when running complex experiments based on LHC data, Pordes says. If scientists need a million CPU hours to run an experiment overnight, the distributed nature of the grid allows them to access that computing power from any part of the worldwide network, she says. With the help of Tier-1 sites such as Brookhaven, the goal is to make using the grid just as easy for universities as using their own internal networks, according to Pordes.

This LHC is either going to prove that we are in right direction or the entire physics book is to be rewritten. The chances of the latter are slim...but you never know. But what irritates me most is that instead of celebrating the human genius behind LHC, some people are actually nitpicking.

And it won't kill anyone whenever it happens. Aren't the words of the world's best scientists, CERN, UN Several Courts of law enough? I had even calculated the energy the collision will emit it was something like 9.something x10^21 Joules. Then, I calculated the energy that 6.022x10^23 particles/molecules/atoms (1 mole) of helium would absorb(using the Specific Heat Capacity of Helium(which would be kept at 2 K(-271degreeC)). I found it to be about 8.somethingx10^27ish Joules. And they've got large Helium tanks on that LHC. This means that extra energy released by the simulation of Big Bang can be taken care of. That ends it for the big-final-blast theories. As for those pesky black holes, they will be so small(category-microblackholes) that they won't even have an event horizon big enough to do any damage. And they can't grow if they've got nothing to attract!

Many other things were discovered by chance too, remember. Here people are not doing it theoretically, its practical time. Penicillin was a chance discovery, hopefully it was a good serendipity. And countless many which never make it to the books were may be a mournful history of someones unfortunate fate. You know not every person is lucky in the flock.

So there is always a slim chance of things occurring not the usual way. Lets hope everything turn out to be calm and we get to know more rather than lost into unknown. For I believe that science can make us reach new heights or mar our future.

May be you are much more experienced in physics field, so its good that its creating a buzz among everyone.

I think the force exerted by earth's gravity can help bring unstability to the pico sized black hole.

Think about it, blackholes are always the biggest baddies around when they occur naturally. But couldn't a much greater force destabilise it and result in its expansion ?

Guys I've some updates for you..........

There's just one snag with all that - it's cobblers. All the good, interesting stuff from the LHC - the Higgs deiton, the dark matter, the possibly planet-gobbling black hole dimensional portal threat and/or universe-buster runaway strangelet or monopole soup plagues, dessert topping apocalypses etc - none of that's on offer today. All of these excellent possibilities require the LHC boffins to actually collide some hadrons - well, duh. The clue's in the name. But they aren't ready for that yet.

What's happening today is the inaugural, gentle bowling of some initial protons around the entire 27-km subterranean ultrachilled superconductor magno-track. That's your lot.

In coming months the underground Alpine boffinry chiefs, once happy that they have hadrons whipping round the big ring properly in one direction, will fire up the opposing stream going the other way.

Only then, once the two unprecedentedly puissant particle cannons are reliably ripping out clips of protons on full auto both clockwise and anticlockwise, will the real fun begin. Only then will the boffins begin to seriously meddle with the very fabric of the universe, as they possibly rashly cross the streams of the two colossal energy guns, ramming protons into one another at almost light speed. Thus far, we are told only that this will happen "by the end of the year".

:lol: :lol:

Ah well, madness apart; the result, whatever of the experiment, will take us a lot closer to understanding the Universe. And as Stephen Hawking himself said, the LHC is crucial if we are to save human race from wiping out. :!: And, the innate human nature has always fueled such prospects. :)

If sources are to be believed, there are 0.1% chances that a micro-black-hole may form. That amount too is obtained when we take multi-dimensionl calculations into account; which may not affect us after all. :) Thats very less probability but nevertheless important in scientific terms.

Though, the black hole wont stand a chance against us as within 10^(-3) yoctoseconds, it will vaporise; due to the well theorised Hawking Radiations.

Thats is the faintest possibility. The capabilities of the LHC are far too low for creating something at that scale; and even if it forms; we have no danger. Ergo, you can sleep soundly in your bed, or for that matter in your wife's. :)
The cosmic radiations that hit the earth's atmosphere are much more powerful than the LHC's capacities. If LHC is to be feared, then, micro-black-holes may have formed and escaped, w/o even being detected. And the phenomenon may be much more pronounced, with several hundred back holes forming each second. But we know that nothing of such a scale has happened and harmed us, hence LHC is far from dangerous.

Huh? Sorry.. This is what I call overflow of emotional tranquility. :D

ADDED: And BTW, the actual collision is to take place in October, probably 21st. We'll have media all over it, again when the time comes. :lol: This one was just a test, accererating particles w/o colliding. AFAIK.

nice read, a concept of time travel too(yet not feasible):
*cosmology.berkeley.edu/Education/BHfaq.html#top

Hawking radiations are based on sudden creation of energy by particle and antiparticle at the event horizon (the place where after you cant escape black hole if its static one).

Normally these vacuum fluctuations (the particle and antiparticle) are bound to collapse again to reset the energy conservation. But at even horizon one antiparticle may get inside black hole and sucked up while other will reach to the outer space.

For black hole there exists white hole, mathematically. Nature love symmetry so does mathematical equations. A white hole will throw anything out fro its even horizon.

So the combination of black hole and white hole can give rise to system known as worm hole. You get sucked up in black hole and then popped out of conjoined white hole. But your survival during the transition is a question unbelievable, considering the amount of blue shift in the radiations coming with you. But thats too a concept which is not verified practically.

So may be this Hadron will tell us about something crucial or something bad.

@T159. We may die but we will probably be in shape when we are thrown out of white hole. The same symmetry principle. :) But, Id still like to believe that we'll live. :D
Though there are alternate theories that deny the existence of any white-hole itself. They tend to say that all mass goe into the black hole and it goes on becoming denser... something like that...

Some more cookies from the link by wisecrab:

"We will be looking at what the Universe was made of billionths of a second after the Big Bang. That is amazing, that really is fantastic."

we need a superhero intervention to save us...lolz

The latest astronomical observations suggest ordinary matter - such as the galaxies, gas, stars and planets - makes up just 4% of the Universe.

The rest is dark matter (23%) and dark energy (73%). Physicists think the LHC could provide clues about the nature of this mysterious "stuff".

We are still at the null...lolz. This dark thing fascinates me and everyone else...dark night, dark matter and now dark energy.

While working on the LHC's predecessor, a machine called the Large-Electron Positron Collider, engineers found two beer bottles wedged into the beam pipe - a deliberate, one-off act of sabotage.

But your survival during the transition is a question unbelievable, considering the amount of blue shift in the radiations coming with you. But thats too a concept which is not verified practically.

According to modern Science, if you cross the event horizon of a black hole, you will face a slow down of time(not perceptible to you), and then will face Spaghettification(technical term for getting ripped to shreds) as the part of your body closer to the center will be attracted more. So there is no way that the white hole can get you out with your head in the right place. Life is sure to perish. Moreover, White Holes are mere results of the tendency of humans to find a symmetrical pattern(Yes I study Psychology too, a hobby).

I think to warp ahead in space, we need to know more about the other 8 dimensions(starting with time). I support the theory that if v>c, properties of matter in one of these other dimensions must be affected(Hopefully time). But anyway, that's offtopic.

Oh, and creating black holes is possible! Scientists have already made black holes using particle accelerators before(didn't you know?). The theory is to make it more dense than it can handle and it will start collapsing and sucking. The black holes created by particle accelerators till date were really small ones. They are known as microblackholes. But, they are not strong enough to last for some time or to exist outside the Particle Accelerator.

By the way, it's nice to know someone who can understand my physics mumbo-jumbo(my friends call me mad because of it). Are you a University student? or a scientist?

But what all they could make was not actually a real blackhole....at least what i got from web resources...they well similar in thing that both needed string theory to explain. More of a nuclear force black hole than gravitational ones.

I believe in philosophy. There is always room. World is strange and for that matter you dont even know what your 80% grey matter actually do. There is a great deal of dark knowledge inside our brain, may be some thing that can give us an answer to many things. But people have a tendency to peek outside instead of looking unto own self.

I believe in Buddha's wisdom. Thought my religion is different. There are many things one can learn.

I used to learn from reference books as a hobby, not that i was preparing to crack some exams. Still have University Physics, Morrison Boyd, FInar, JD Lee, H C Verma, Stout and Green, Ebbing etc. Biology was my prime interest, but somehow due to circumstances ended up pursuing BE.

There was a recent incident when I came to know how horrible the basic facilities has become. A doctor now only wants money, even at the life of a poor thing. But internet helped me to save that life. First use of internet in my entire life that saved someone :) Its great to have it for free and people in forum/web helping each other, sharing and caring.

Sometime I think this virtual world is much better than the real world which is more like a flawed design. No wonder people will call you strange if you behave normally, cause world is too fcuked up now to appreciate normal person.

Well, scientist havent actually made microblackholes, they have manged to get some evidences of formation of a distant-precursor-primordial-microblackhole in their earlier particle accelerators, RHIC or something?

Yup I meant it! A bit not-to-the-point, I agree! But you see? It won't affect time from our frame of reference but it will(might) do it for others so it will cause us to go ahead in time making us reach our destination faster! Or does that sound weird? Anyway!

I agree! the real world is not a nice place anymore. By the way, the 80% grey matter does not have any kind of built-in knowledge of the cosmos(In my opinion). I think it is vestigial. Humans are capable of much more like Hypnosis, Telekinesis etc(I'm Serious).

Humans are capable of much more like Hypnosis, Telekinesis etc(I'm Serious).

Thats one possibility am looking for and waiting to be discovered. Telekinesis, Telepathy, Pyrokinesis etc. Our own body is highly efficient self sustained system. Remember how some things are just involuntary, you don't suffocate yourself by holding your breath and the bile juice secretes when there is food down the gut not any other time. The three line of defense, T-Killer cells antibodies. Immune system, lymphatic system. Bone marrow for blood cells and spleen in small child for blood cells. liquid breathing capability in babies inside womb. Sympathetic and parasympetheic system. Corpus callosum that joins two hemisphere. Blood doesn't clot in vessels, but platelets do a good job in external injuries. Veins have valves but arteries doesn't have valves. Heart beats throughout the life without even exhausting for a bit. Liver is a great source to check what ailment one have. Different types of skeletal joints, the most free ball and socket shoulder joint and the most powerful hinge knee joint. Its all more fascinating than anything, even astronomical phenomena. We are a shophisticated machine...lolz

There is this one philosophy that the people before us were more technologically advanced than us. Somehow the whole civilization got wiped out may by some natural catastrophe or some weird experiment, we never know.

How can one make pyramid with old methods, its not a child's play. The surface of each boulder was polished and cut to the perfection, drilled to the roundness that only extremely high powerful laser can do. Many other structures. The iron pillar in India and other things.

Doesnt make a pennyworth of difference. If you Travel much much faster than light/information; you are time travelling, dont you think so? Of course, when a person time-travels, that isnt much of a difference to himself. Its others who see him beforehand at a place; and others who see him at two places at the same time, wtc.

You are having a hard time making the distinction between "quest for knowledge" and "application of that knowledge"

Either you don't understand sarcasm or you choose not to.

This LHC is either going to prove that we are in right direction or the entire physics book is to be rewritten.
Karnivore is very good in English literature........we all need a few sessions with him...........and he wants to write Physics book(yeh Joke hai karni, don't pounce on me)

You got the first sarcasm but failed to get this ?
Ehh........I gues I was wrong, T is better than Karnivore in English literature.

Define "excess"
C karnivore accepted and taking class

And it won't kill anyone whenever it happens. Aren't the words of the world's best scientists, CERN, UN Several Courts of law enough? I had even calculated the energy the collision will emit it was something like 9.something x10^21 Joules. Then, I calculated the energy that 6.022x10^23 particles/molecules/atoms (1 mole) of helium would absorb(using the Specific Heat Capacity of Helium(which would be kept at 2 K(-271degreeC)). I found it to be about 8.somethingx10^27ish Joules. And they've got large Helium tanks on that LHC. This means that extra energy released by the simulation of Big Bang can be taken care of. That ends it for the big-final-blast theories. As for those pesky black holes, they will be so small(category-microblackholes) that they won't even have an event horizon big enough to do any damage. And they can't grow if they've got nothing to attract!
alexanderthegreat does some math:confused:

I guess today is wasted on researching on this black hole thngy,
T wasted one important day of his life researching micro black hole......(are waste hi karna tha to macro pe karta)

OMIGOSH!!! I'm alive!!! I'm alive!!! Miracle!!! God forgave me for my sins!!! I'm alive!!!
IronMan is happy that he's alive.........who can kill IronMan??!!!:rolleyes:

So the combination of black hole and white hole can give rise to system known as worm hole.
How about Junior BlackHole or Junior WhiteHole:D

we need a superhero intervention to save us
dark night, dark matter and now dark energy.
A beer boozed blackhole...lolz
T needs a super hero.........calling DarkNight and his new friends.......and discovers that Black holes booze.........nice discovery:D

^^lol...but why isn't anyone talking about chemistry and biology ?

Everyone seems to be obsessed with physics.

^^ I share your feelings. But so do they

Dallas, TX – Scientists from the Evolutionary Acceleration Research Institute (EARI) announced that the first test of the Giant Animal Smasher (GAS) will begin on December 19, 2008, the 41st anniversary of the premiere of Dr. Dolittle.

Dr. Thomas Malwin, head of the research project, said, "The first test runs will only accelerate microscopic life-forms like bacteria and viruses to high speeds, but theoretically the GAS can handle animals as large as squirrels, hence the squirrel smasher moniker."

Biologists from around the globe hope the GAS will unlock the secrets of the so-called "Darwin particle" that could unlock the secrets to life.


"If we discover the Darwin particle we could possibly create new life-forms, or accelerate evolution to unimaginable levels," said Malwin.


The GAS is a 25 mile tube buried ten feet below the surface, and accelerates the animals up to a speed of 6,000 meters per second using a series of pulleys, levers and fusion reactors.


Malwin dismissed critics who claimed that smashing animals together at high speeds was cruel to the animals. He said, "The animals won't be feeling anything. The collision will vaporize the squirrels in a fraction of a second. Their brains won't be able to transmit pain at those speeds, so it'll be painless for them."


Scientists currently rely on computer simulations to smash biological units, but simulations can only do so much, and without the visceral enjoyment of seeing two squirrels collide at thousands of miles an hour.


Malwin said there will be controls in place to prevent new undesirable species from forming. "Only species of the same type will be smashed together, so you don't have to worry about the flying rat, or poisonous Chihuahua nightmare scenarios."


One scientist at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, said, "Biologists are just jealous of all the attention the LHC has been getting. Since they aren't real scientists, they had to come up with this atrocity. Next thing you know the psychologists will build a brain smasher to compete."
:D
