CERN- What a cool way to go!!!!!!!

This is my first post and I am having butterflies in stomach for how it will be received. Well let me tell you why I have chosen a topic like this for the very first post .I have deep interest in particle physics and this LHC is one of the path breaking experiment ever carried out in the history of human civilization .As every coin has two sides so do it. It can also led to the end of everything what we see today. My aim of writing this blog is not to create panic or any other such sort of thing. I just wanted to let you people know that something like this is happening out there and we are not aware of it.

LHC-LARGE HADRON COLLIDIER is a giant particle accelerator getting started at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) at Geneva on the boarder of France and Switzerland. For the starters I would I like to tell them something about this accelerator. This massive Hadron collider is a magnetic ring 27 kilometers in circumference: Ultimately, it will collide beams of protons at energy of 14 TeV. Additionally, beams of lead nuclei will be also accelerated, colliding together with energy of 1150 TeV. The LHC will be the most powerful particle accelerator in the world.

It would be used to answer few fundamental questions related to what constitute us
Matter and its counterpart antimatter exist in equal amount and completely annhilate each other if brought in contact.So the question is -why do we still exist? This mystery arises because we find ourselves living in a Universe made exclusively of matter. Didn't matter and antimatter completely annihilate at the time of the Big Bang? Perhaps this antimatter still exists somewhere else? Otherwise where did it go and what happened to it in the first place? Also why there is more matter than antimatter?
Questions pertaining to dark matter which constitute 26% and dark energy which constitute 70% of the univerese? What are they made up of?
What is the origin of mass? Why do tiny particles weigh the amount they do? Why do some particles have no mass at all?
Do extra dimensions of space really exist as speculated by string theory?

But what is most intriguing is the question of creation of black hole out of this accelerator which could lead to the end of world!!!!!!!!!!



It looks like during the experiment the CERN is starting this summer 3 things could happen:1. If all the calculations where right (and it's the first time we try this) it should give the world a BIG BANG2. If something goes wrong only one of these things (and not both together) could happen:
· A black holeJust, depending on its size, sucks us slowly or faster in and could make us changing time zone in a funny way. But finally all this universe would get sucked in.
· A wormholeThis means that an unique potential time travel awaiting. That actually has a good chance that we will time travel instantly, peacefully and in first class.



These black holes, the densest matter in the universe, will plummet to the very core of the earth, then, slowly at first, growing one particle, one quark at a time, but at an ever accelerating rate. Scientists have estimated that a stable black hole at the center of the earth could consume not only France but the whole planet in the very short time span of between 4 minutes 30 seconds and 7 minutes

That age-old question: Will our planet disappear in the twinkling of an eye?

Aurélien Barrau and Julien Grain speaking on behalf of CERN say that these "tiny black holes could offer a richer view of physics than their better known, more massive relations … It should be stated … that these black holes are not dangerous and do not threaten to swallow up our already much-abused planet."

When it was finally disclosed that this facility would actually be producing, during normal high-impact collider experiments, one black hole each and every second, numerous scientists cautioned that a public risk-assessment by non-affiliated scientists must be conducted for the CERN facility but not by the CERN scientists or the French government. To this very day the French have refused to make such an assessment of the potential dangers that lay ahead for all of humanity once the switch is finally pulled.

The scientist defend their playing at God and this potential black hole catastrophe by saying:

1. Black holes have been created by cosmic rays without incident; therefore black holes are not a danger to the planet earth.

- No instrumentation or observations have ever detected the formation of black holes in the atmosphere; It is a completely unsubstantiated theory that was fabricated solely to defend the building of CERN. Even if a black hole could be formed by cosmic rays striking atmospheric particles, it would be a glancing blow at near the speed of light, causing the resultant mass to careen off into space at a velocity much greater than the escape velocity of the earth (11.2 km/s).

While, in contrast, the CERN particles would be striking each other as in a head-on collision, causing the resultant black holes to lose their momentum; making them unable to reach escape velocity; causing them to immediately free-fall, undetected, to the center of the earth.

2. The black holes CERN creates will not be stable. “Black hole production does not present a conceivable risk at the LHC due to the rapid decay of the black hole through thermal process”. They will be unstable and will evaporate in a flash as prdicted by Hawking .The CERN facility was built under the assumption that it was a proven fact and that the black holes they would automatically create would be unstable and therefore not be a threat to the human race and the planet upon which we reside.

-No instrumentation or observations have ever detected the Hawking radiation being emitted from any black hole. By the way Black holes by their very definition are stable: Nothing escapes their gravitational pull. And that includes radiation.

I personally believe that scientist should proceed cautiously as one wrong step can lead to the end of civilization and it is not any kind of joke.

Constructive criticism invited.
