    In case you missed it:  www.youtube.com/watch

    Twenty-seven kilometers of tunnel under ground

    Designed with mind to send protons around

    A circle that crosses through Switzerland and France

    Sixty nations contribute to scientific advance

    Two beams of protons swing round, through the ring they ride

    ‘Til in the hearts of the detectors, they’re made to collide

    And all that energy packed in such a tiny bit of room

    Becomes mass, particles created from the vacuum

    And then…

    LHCb sees where the antimatter’s gone

    ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions

    CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind

    They’re looking for whatever new particles they can find.

    The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead

    And the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.

    We see asteroids and planets, stars galore

    We know a black hole resides at each galaxy’s core

    But even all that matter cannot explain

    What holds all these stars together – something else remains

    This dark matter interacts only through gravity

    And how do you catch a particle there’s no way to see

    Take it back to the conservation of energy

    And the particles appear, clear as can be

    You see particles flying, in jets they spray

    But you notice there ain’t nothin’, goin’ the other way

    You say, “My law has just been violated – it don’t make sense!

    There’s gotta be another particle to make this balance.”

    And it might be dark matter, and for first

    Time we catch a glimpse of what must fill most of the known ‘Verse.

    Because…

    LHCb sees where the antimatter’s gone

    ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions

    CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind

    They’re looking for whatever new particles they can find.

    Antimatter is sort of like matter’s evil twin

    Because except for charge and handedness of spin

    They’re the same for a particle and its anti-self

    But you can’t store an antiparticle on any shelf

    Cuz when it meets its normal twin, they both annihilate

    Matter turns to energy and then it dissipates

    When matter is created from energy

    Which is exactly what they’ll do in the LHC

    You get matter and antimatter in equal parts

    And they try to take that back to when the universe starts

    The Big Bang – back when the matter all exploded

    But the amount of antimatter was somehow eroded

    Because when we look around we see that matter abounds

    But antimatter’s nowhere to be found.

    That’s why…

    LHCb sees where the antimatter’s gone

    ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions

    CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind

    They’re looking for whatever new particles they can find.

    The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead

    And the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.

    The Higgs Boson – that’s the one that everybody talks about.

    And it’s the one sure thing that this machine will sort out

    If the Higgs exists, they ought to see it right away

    And if it doesn’t, then the scientists will finally say

    “There is no Higgs!  We need new physics to account for why

    Things have mass.  Something in our Standard Model went awry.”

    But the Higgs – I still haven’t said just what it does

    They suppose that particles have mass because

    There is this Higgs field that extends through all space

    And some particles slow down while other particles race

    Straight through like the photon – it has no mass

    But something heavy like the top quark, it’s draggin’ its ***

    And the Higgs is a boson that carries a force

    And makes particles take orders from the field that is its source.

    They’ll detect it….

    LHCb sees where the antimatter’s gone

    ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions

    CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind

    They’re looking for whatever new particles they can find.

    Now some of you may think that gravity is strong

    Cuz when you fall off your bicycle it don’t take long

    Until you hit the earth, and you say, “Dang, that hurt!”

    But if you think that force is powerful, you’re wrong.

    You see, gravity – it’s weaker than Weak

    And the reason why is something many scientists seek

    They think about dimensions – we just live in three

    But maybe there are some others that are too small to see

    It’s into these dimensions that gravity extends

    Which makes it seem weaker, here on our end.

    And these dimensions are “rolled up” – curled so tight

    That they don’t affect you in your day to day life

    But if you were as tiny as a graviton

    You could enter these dimensions and go wandering on

    And they'd find you...

    When LHCb sees where the antimatter’s gone

    ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions

    CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind

    They’re looking for whatever new particles they can find.

    The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead

    And the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.

    As far as the string theory of black holes is concerned, you would need a significant amount of mass to even begin to create a stable black hole.  Someting on the order of the Sol system with 2 or 3 other equally sized sytems mashed together into a very tight space to even begin to get the type of gravitation forces needed to create a stable black hole.  Otherwise on the scale of quantum black holes, all you are going to see is a fun burst of x-ray radiation, followed by the collapse of said black hole into nothingness.   Nice for heating your tea perhaps, but not much for ending the world.
     I hope this helps.

     

    Your avatar is so spot on, it's scary.  LOL

    Oh well when we're dead then we're dead so I doubt we'll care too much lol.

    Being called a "dumbface" really put me back in my chair.... ....If i really thought i wasnt going to see WAR launch, i would end my life now.

    Isn't that when the Mayan calendar just kind of ends....

    The mayan, some chinese guy and another dude in history all predicted around the same month.

    If that was the case, it is estimated that a black hole could devour the Earth in as little as 50 months.

     

    wait a sec... 50 months or so.. Mayans said end of world 2012 or so.. hmmm.... this is beginning to add up

    I'll decide when the world is going to end.

    If your going by the Mayan calendar I thought it was 12DEC12 or Dec 12, 2012 but I could be mistaken by a few days or mixed up my numbers



     

    The real date to worry about for us is October 10, 2010. 10/10/10 - It's in binary and represents the day all virtual computer worlds are destroyed.



     

    What happened to 10/10/01? Or 01/01/01? Or 10/01/01? or 10/01/10? Or any combination thereof?

    MMOs Played: I can no longer list them all in the 500 character limit.

  • NoficNofic Member UncommonPosts: 59

    Yeah, and I have a friend who believes that 2012 bullshit. Sounds like some story an 8 year old made up to scare some other little 8 year old.

    yes... i can picture it clearly... GF yelling "come on! the black hole is about to reach it's critical mass where shuttles wont be able to get away from it's pull!"

    and me responding.. "that's good honey... we're raiding the city now! i'll be with you in a minute, ok?"

    I thought this was a post predicting the servers will be down for several days, which I find unlikely. I do think there's a possibility that none of the RVR scenarios wll be working at launch, but the game itself should launch.

    On the whole supercollider thing, well I could very well get clobbered going to work tomorrow. But I try not to live my life with the idea that doomsday is coming this Wednesday at 2:15 sharp.

    i pray every night that the world will end in a horrible disaster. so i really do hope this black hole crap happens and we all get sucked into oblivion and die. i wont have to work at my crap ass job anymore or worry if im going to get to eat tomorrow or not

    God are you people idiots? The LHC is not gonna end the freaking world, and neither is 2012. The Mayans and whoever else did not predict anything, it just happens to be that around every 25k years the our solar system is at the galactic equinox.

    We're all going to end in a black hole!?????

    There is no quantum singularity near this Earth, I know that for a fact.   Nice try though!

     

    There is one in the MilkyWay though... Not anywhere near us

     

     a mass equal to nearly 4 million suns, was previously estimated to be about 14 million miles (23 million kilometers) across, much smaller than the orbit of Mercury around the Sun. It can't be seen, because everything that approaches it, including light, is swallowed. But on the way in, matter is superheated to millions of degrees, generating emissions in many wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to X-rays.

    so..... ummmm... thats bad right?

    Blackholes just don't appear out of nowhere man. Our sun colaspsing would'nt even cause a blackhole.
