Less than 7 hours until LHC activation, RUN FOR THE HILLS

[AJ Rimmer]

Guys, I hate to sound silly here, but; The sky has *definately* always been a sort of pulsating bright-purple, right?

 

[<RJMC>]

purple? mine is like red

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I see lime green.

 

[Cavalry]

Mines black? OH SHI---

 

[StardogChampion]

Cool, this is this the thing from Angels & Demons by Dan Brown.

 

[taviow]

Indeed it is.

 

[Crash]

Oh shit...I think I just heard a headcrab run under the couch...
*runs out to trunk of car to get crowbar*

 

[Remus]

Gahh.. if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself...

*Goes off to build strangelet generator*

 

[L3N!N]

Time paradox.

 

[Remus]

 

[MRG]

WTF BEEP KA-BOOOOM!

LMAO!

What exactly could happen if something was to go wrong?

Honestly & in plain English.

-MRG

 

[Sulkdodds]

I have three words for you, and all of them are 'nom'.

 

[French Ninja]

No Om's?

 

[Acepilotf14]

Chernobyl?

 

[Asuka]

I was about to say how did i miss this. But now im happy to find it was delayed!

I am too lazy to find it, but there is a false rumor going about that claims the LHC
could start a small Black Hole, which, theoretically, could swallow Earth, &cetera.

 

[Blackthorn]

Nothing's going to happen. The world's going to keep on going just like after every other apocalypse scare. And it's still going to suck.

If the promise of total destruction is what it takes to get you excited, sit down and give your life a good long think.

 

[Dog--]

OMG IT'S COMING!

IT'LL NEVER TAKE ME!

 

[Naudian]

I'm actually pretty excited to see what we can learn with this thing.

I hope it's not nothing...

 

[L3N!N]

Thought it already went off...

Oh god, I have so much to live for!

 

[Slug Advisor]

I knew it!

 

[Combine_Advisor]

Why the fukc are we redening words like the etc?

 

[Kula Meenur]

Why was bumped?

 

[Emporius]

Did you use the search button and have the word 'the' in your search?

 

[Combine_Advisor]

Did you use the search button and have the word 'the' in your search?

OMFG I AM A NOOB

 

[Ren.182]

/facepalm

Anyway, seeing as I started a new page... Anything come of this yet?

 

[Druckles]

OMFG I AM A NOOB

Haha. I knew what you'd done as soon as I'd read your post. Heh...

Not much more information yet

 

[Slug Advisor]

I knew it!

And yeah, really anticipating the actual thing.

 

[Kula Meenur]

*hugs pillow*


You'll never take me alive LHC!!! I'll be sleeping when you activate!!!

never gone happen.

John Titor didn't say anything about this in his debate.

well there is some truth in it.. http://www.livescience.com/environment/060919_black_holes.html

If theories about the universe containing extra dimensions other than those of space and time are correct, the accelerator might also generate black holes

although ... our man hawkings has our backs ..

For one thing, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking calculated all black holes should emit radiation, and that tiny black holes should lose more mass than they absorb, evaporating within a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, "before they could gobble up any significant amount of matter," Landsberg said.

heres a thought , imagine losing the entire LHC the minute its turned on ...

 

[Lizardizzle]

Couldn't even make it to 2012...darn.

Ha, are you referring to the christal skulls thing? I bet you are. It's pretty interesting.

So we started talking about this in physics a few days ago.

Essentially, knowing that gravity is only affected by an object's two masses and their radius.

Let's assume for example that the mass of the black hole would be 1 gram (that's a LOT larger than what it would actually be mind you). What would that black hole feel like? Well, assuming it had a certain radius of a millimeter, it would essentially feel like a paper clip's gravity towards you. Erm, I wouldn't be worried.

So, now let's tackle the bigger issue, the radius. In the gravitational equation, radius is in the denominator, and blackholes supposedly have a radius of 0 (being singularity), meaning you're dividing by zero... Uh oh! Well, we can then know that it will be a function which goes upwards towards positive infinity.

That means that you have to get very, very close to feel anything, and the field wouldn't even be large due to the mass. So it will in fact suck in some particles around it, and increase it's mass. Then the fact that black holes die comes into play, which means a black hole of that size won't last long, so even though it will become very slightly larger, it will die before it gets bigger.

Obviously there are obviously still unknowns, but I don't really have a big fear...

 

[Raziaar]

Division by 0 is possible outside of the human realm of mathematics. But then again, it wouldn't be 0 in that scenario, or division. :rolling:

And I'm making no sense so I'm going to bed.

but what happens to all that mass the black hole swallowed when the black hole dies? does it release it? or did it erase it? Or is that one of the things they are trying to find out?


A black hole vacuums up matter and removes it from our universe. Am I right on that?

fascinating.


You see black holes in space, and they are huge. So they didn't start small like the ones to be created in the LHC? They keep growing bigger and bigger .. what causes them to die?

These little black holes are going to get bigger and bigger, and never stop - like feeding a fire.

Black Holes are like a fire, and matter is like fuel/oxygen. We have no idea how to put out this fire either. The only way to stop them from growing is to not have any matter left in their range, and as they grow, their range increases. They will just consume the Earth.

There is a reason there are no black holes on Earth. You know why? Because if there were, then Earth wouldn't be here.

actually division by 0 is within the realm of human undestanding , its just the behaviour of a function as the denominator gets infinitely smaller , we apply the same approximation for dividing or evaluating a function at infinity.

but what happens to all that mass the black hole swallowed when the black hole dies? does it release it? or did it erase it? Or is that one of the things they are trying to find out?

err not quite , matter can not be created or destroyed . The black holes in space were created from dying stars. stars have a certain life cycle . they start out as a collection of gases and then later expands to form a red giant , after the red giant colapses under its own gravity it forms a white dwarf and if that continues to colapse it will eventualy form a small dense body called a black hole. so blackholes are nothing more than a large amount of mass in a small amount of space , i.e a small dense body . so when matter gets sucked into a blackhole it just adds to its internal mass. i dont know much about the stability of black holes but i doubt that a stable blackhole in outter space could ever die.

So what happens when a black hole dies? Exploshens of all its matter?
