Theres only to possible outcoms... Theres a 25% chance it will fail and all earth will be destroyed. Or a 75% chance that it will work, and we will discovery the asnwer how the universe or earth was created.
This experiment scares the shit outta me, if it goes wrong a black whole will be created and everything will be sucked in.
Theyve been constructin this experiment since 2003. Its gunna start wednesday, and might take months for the final result.
I say, do your worst Mr.Scientist, I want an immortal android body. I want to travel space and time, to fight alien civilizations with mah zero point energy gun. I want genetically engineered siege beasts with back mounted rail guns that I can command with my neural transmitter buahahahaha!:evil: If this is a step towards that, I'm willing to risk the very existence of our universe.
I have to say that I'm slightly scared, but for the most part I'm not worried. Reason being, if black holes can be created from particles smashing together, then could this have happened before with sun bursts in our own solar system? Or around supernovas elsewhere?
I think that the environment that we are creating in the LHC can, and most probably has been reproduced in the universe, and in my opinion, it probably happens all the time. So why haven't we seen a black hole created on one of our neighboring planets (or anywhere else we can see) yet if these planets are continuously hit with sun bursts all the time?
I'm not saying that there hasn't been small black holes created from these collisions, but if there has been I think that Steven Hawking's theory is correct and they disapear as fast as they came.
Scientist live for this. Even if it did create black hole (Which I highly doubt this machine is that powerful) then I guarantee It would dissapear in less then a nanosecond, leaving the world unharmmed.

The chances of a black hole being formed is incredibly small - not to mention the fact that even if one were to form, it would not be large enough to have a self-sustaining mass and would just collapse on itself immediatley (before it could do any damage to anything). Problem solved.
This is a cool idea and a real interesting experiment. All the negative hype about just stems from ignorance.
Even if a black hole was created and didn't vanish immediately, the world would not collapse on itself. The effect of a black hole pulling in all surrounding matter is just gravity at work. For the types of black holes we imagine, you would need a huge star (many times larger than our sun) to do that kind of damage.
A black hole with the mass of a proton would have the same gravitational field as a proton, basically nothing. This is not going to happen, we are not all going to die.

With any luck, we will succeed and become a galactic civilization of immortal androids, that sweep through the universe, consuming everything in our path:)
I heard somewhere that research already gathered from this soon-to-be-experiment has contributed to a new, super-fast form of internet, so that hard drives and storing things locally will be obsolete. Something like they transferred every song of the Beatles some long distance in less than 2 seconds or something. Hmm... Wonder if I can find the article.

The Grid! That's it! Thanks a ton Murdeface Anyway, this could be really exciting. Of course, if this does happen and we don't store things locally, guess who has access to everything? *cough the government slimeballs cough* But it's still very exciting and is going to change the future of data sharing and presentation dramatically.
Edit:
On the black hole note, if this was really going to have the possibility of destroying the known world, do you really think scientists with degrees in things that I can't even pronounce would risk it?
I just read a very interesting article related to this in wired magazine < click for the full article
highlights include the 5 best/worst case scenarios and more or less states that
Scientists at CERN and elsewhere have ruled out the possibility that the LHC will create any kind of doomsday scenario. The black holes that the LHC could theoretically create don't even have enough energy to light up a light bulb. On the other hand, the U.K.'s Astronomer Royal put the odds of destroying the world at 1 in 50 million (which puts it in the realm of possibilities but still not as likely as hitting the lottery).
they have been sued 7 times and put 6 billion dollars into this whole thing.. if a black hole was created some how, why wud it dissapear, wuldnt it just grow and grow. they say it wud take atleast 5 years for it to ingulf the earth.
Well, black hole behavior, as I understand it, is fantastical at best. Most calculations are based on many assumptions of how they would behave since they have yet to actually get a probe or anything like that to really observe one, seeing as anything getting close to one would theoretically get sucked in (along with any radio-transmitted waves that would feed back information.)
Conspiracy-theorists are cumming all over the world from this. Black holes, even if they appear, will be so tiny and unstable (due to the lack of mass, and the amount of mass they have depends on the objects that created them) that they will evaporate instantly without doing anything.
Read some respected journals/scientists instead of youtube attention whores and people who think it's the Armageddon...yet again.

we are alll going to die
it can happen..
from wut i can see, ur not scared at all....
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

anyways theyre looking for the higgs particle, which may not even show. also might show dark matter related particles. or even big bang particles.
soooo exciting!

the whole article itself is very interesting.
Thanks for that link. I am going to read over it tomorrow at work when I am on my break.
