Atomix Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 What paper was this, 2 atoms won't create a big enough black hole to suck up the world, maybe a bit of water and land but it will then just emplode. The chances of this happening are getting hit by lightning 2 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sander Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Okay, so I was wrong, big deal >_> Anyways, anybody, who actually believes that will cause something, is a total wussy, as I've said before and will again, Death = Bliss. Now, quit your whining and get on with your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Jerry, why do you think this experiment is expensive? the irony is the amount of starving people who could have been fed, raised and educated with that money >.> I don't really care if everything disappeared tomorrow. :/ fail emo is fail... yes you do care >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have no chance of dying exactly my thoughts, never been interested in science except astrology and "biology".... I would like to know what's so great about knowing what's inside a proton, it's not like we can even see an atom to start with >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucalion Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Well, if we find the Higgs-Boson particle, we will roughly know how the universe was created/began. Or even wasn't created/didn't begin. That a good enough reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucalion Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 JesusofChaos, the thing you have to remember about scientists is that they aren't ordinary people. Let us say there is an electric box that gives you a shock every time you touch it. A normal person will touch it, go "Ow." then walk away. A scientist will touch it, go "Ow.", and then touch it again to see if it keeps on happening. Now imagine the electric box is the universe.

If we do find out, what then, how does it help us? What can it give us that can help us now Not if we destroy what was created in the process. Personally i am a scientist. However if there is any chance of destroying all life then it shouldnt go ahead. What is knowledge without life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any risk in this experiment to create a black hole large enough to swallow the entire universe? No, I think not. Us humans are, most likely, not the only form of life in the universe. So, there is no risk of destroying all life. And the way I interpret it, a black hole will only be created once out of 5*10^21 times a particle collides with another, which might not even happen for months. Or, let me put it like this. You're sitting inside a room, with a single chair and a door. On the other side of the door sits God, waiting for you. You have been informed that one out of five trillion billion billion attempts to open the door, nuclear missiles will strike all cities in the world. Would you open the door?

♥Kyle♥ Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 first of all if a black hole is formed i say send in a camera and see whats in there!also its easy to collapse a black hole sorry for breaking your dreams lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusofChaos™ Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My problem with this is that it is human nature to want answers. But these answers just make more questions. This drives scientist deeper and deeper in to more and more dangerous experiments. These just pose more questions. No matter what answer you get, there are bigger questions. When will the risk outweigh the knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm so mad. Like no one I know knows about this. Now, to the topic at hand.

Jerry OldMaster Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 first of all if a black hole is formed i say send in a camera and see whats in there! *facepalm* Say, Deucalion. In a case of a black hole, wouldn't sucked air be the least of our concerns? I mean... well, you know what I mean.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
