we should never let the fear of 'consequences' impede us.Nebuchanezzar said:^Hasty and risky progress benefits no-one.
I am mildly concerned about the consequences.

Dw, it's all okay
Seriously the people that are having a cry about this don't understand science.
Hey, don't dismiss the rap. It's quite accurate, and it makes particle physics just that little bit easier to understand.undalay said:http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,25642,24317385-5014239,00.html
"world's biggest physics experiments have received death threats amidst fears they could destroy the world."
anyone else see the irony here
"Watch the "Large Hadron Rap" below for an explanation of what the accelerator does:"
shows how serious the scientists are about it
Oh my God it looks like a black hole is developing at a rapid pace!Squeenie said:I'm not worried about this. Even if a black hole was created, it can easily be contained by shutting down the LHC, and creating a vaccuum environment so the black hole can't absorb anything and then deal with it later.

What shall we do?
Shall we create a vacuum to seal it in?
Perhaps. What do you all think, comrades?
Let us create a vacuum.
Then we shall store it in a vial for later!
Point: Doesn't all this happen remarkably quickly? Seems dangerous.
If black holes were created in the LHC, they'd be quite small, and would most likely dissipate through Hawking Radiation.Wikipedia said:Otto Rössler believes that micro black holes created in the LHC could grow exponentially.[31][32][33][34] Hermann Nicolai, Director of the Albert Einstein Institute, in Germany, has examined Otto Rössler's research paper on the safety of the LHC[32] and concluded that "this text would not pass the referee process in a serious journal."[35][36] Domenico Giulini has also commented with Hermann Nicolai on the validity of Otto Rössler's arguments about the production of black holes at the LHC, concluding that "his argument concerns only the General Theory of Relativity (GRT), and makes no logical connection to LHC physics; the argument is not valid; the argument is not self-consistent."[37]

Also, the LHC isn't powerful enough to create micro black holes that easily.
She does.Omium said:Er your in your HSC year.
No offence but I doubt you really know what your talking bout?
While I'm sure you have good reasons to believe it, not every 08er here is stupid beyond comprehension.Omium said:Er your in your HSC year.

This has already been mentioned:5233andy said:Ten billion dollars... More than the GDP of some of the world's underdeveloped countries combined... What has the world come to?
I can't see any benefits with the LHC, let alone light in it.
It might help to read the rest of the thread first.Farfour said:What? It's going to completely enhance our understanding of physics... this will bring more benefit to the poor through new technologies that can come from it, just as the internet and modern computing and modern communications came from the other CERN experiments.
Dude this is a third of what it'd cost for parts of the US arms program, it's an incredibly intelligent investment of money so that we can link up quantum theory with newtonian mechanics, and then come to a better understanding of our place in the universe.
Gravity, man, gravitons, gravity, do you understand?
