Question Will the Big Bang test end the world on Wednesday?

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: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/W...ow/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.

I am officially sick and tired of hearing this over and over and over and over again. Unless you have mortgaged your brain to some crackpots and preposterously idiotic alternative theories, the two papers, below, will be enough for you to know that there is nothing to be afraid of.

Don't worry, you will live to see tomorrow.

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.

"Tomorrow" figuratively speaking, means "future", not necessarily the very next date. Comprende ?

Its not only you, but a lot of people don't give a sh!t. For one thing, it might just drive a death nail into the very heart of some of their "alternative theories". One more GAP will be plugged and it is not good news for GOD OF GAPs.

About those genetic experiments - yeah, they could not make Godzilla available in pet shops.

So let me get this right...
Specimen dying in a genetic experiment (read BIOLOGY experiment) = World destruction due to LHC (read PHYSICS experiment).

WOW....thats really really really deep. And please read those papers

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:

Why care about tomorrow? Live today to the fullest. If we really do go tomorrow, well, fine then. Everyone else will go. Even Bill Gates.

Hey!!! Don't think I'm serious about this thing. In fact, I'm totally skeptical about this whole sh1tty thing. We'll live tomorrow, and that's for sure.

I have read abt it in Resnik Halliday (while solving numericals...lolz).

This thing is a visual treat, frikkin amazing.

But benefit of doubt will be never entertained if so ever, for we wont be living to sue back...lolz. Anyway it could be good or bad depending upon the 4 coordinate states.

But attention *hores need to be sanitized. People shouldn't make a godzilla of every tiny bit.

If it weren't for the science. I would have never thought of playing a game Shadow of Chernobyl...lolz

Of course nothing like world's end will happen, earth is a tough survivor till now.

To bring some tech talk into this..,

I hope it doesn't run on Windows

Quote:
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.

Even if a black hole was formed it wud be tiny enough and wudn't gobble up the earth fully at least not all at once . So just chill out unless u have a spaceship or a timemachine . And watch the birth of a black hole in ur celestial backyard here http://webcast.cern.ch/
