  • Why the hell are we making micro black holes?

    I KNOW the following is stupid and just emotion-but don’t mind me

    I live near one of the biggest and most accredited particle physics laboratories (among other things) in America/The world. It MAY be the biggest/most accredited- I’m not sure, if its not, its up there.

    Every couple of months the newspapers do some IDIOTIC newspaper article warning about some experiment.....


    "XXX lab's is working on strange quarks, particles that when they interact with other quarks change them into strange quarks-the creation of 1 strange quark may do this to the entire universe-though scientists said there was only a 0.00005% chance of this happening".


    WELL if they admit there is ANY chance, they shouldn’t be trying to experiment with it........

    Yes, I know that idea is kinda out of ignorant fear and I’m ashamed of it being a science'cy kinda guy, but I still worry about it just a bit when my moronic newspaper puts out an article on it.



    What is MUCH scarier-and THIS has a strong base in reality: THEY KEEP MAKING/TRYING TO MAKE MICRO BLACK HOLES.

    GOD DAMNIT STOP IT!!!!!! I don’t care what you can learn from it, and I don’t care if you think it is safe being suspended in an electromagnetic field and only exists for one one hundred thousandth of a second-IF you mess up or are wrong: YOU KILL EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE ENTIRE PLANET IN A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DEATH!!!!!! It really pisses me off that these guys continue to play around with micro black holes.



    Yes it MAY be ALMOST impossible for it to happen, but so was a ressonance cascade scenario at black messa. Simply put the risk is MUCH to great to be worth almost any reward.

        frankly, I welcome a black hole tearing this planet apart...
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          Whoa. You're comparing the odds of making a micro black hole to a scenario spun out in a game?

                This is after all a type-13 planet, what do you expect?

                    I believe that an accident is more likely to be caused by _______ shutting off their power in the middle of an experiment than anything else.

                          The only trouble is when a journalist doesn't have a clue about the subject he is working on, then scaremongering can result.

                          He's just there to be sensationalist and to get a few more copies sold.
                          The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down on thee with great vengence and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengence upon thee.

                            Yes JohnT, I have. I don't have the book in front of me but IIRC, protesters surrounded the university and cut the power lines, causing the black hole to be dropped.
