LHC -- destroyed the earth yet? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Yakk · 09-09-2008, 08:42 AM

This website produces an up-to-the-minute report on the status of the LHC (large supercollider, being turned on today for testing) destroying the earth or not:
Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the earth yet?
Thought that might be useful.

There will also be a live webcast:

Live webcast

Technically, the collider will be turned on at roughly 3:30am EDT, so you don't need to start paying attention until then.

fresnelly · 09-09-2008, 09:28 AM

It better not destroy the earth because I'll be pissed if my last meal turns out to be KFC.

Baraka_Guru · 09-09-2008, 09:32 AM

If it does destroy the earth...or the universe...we're not going to know about it.

Maybe it's already happened and what we see as reality is merely our living in a continuous loop of human history trapped within our disembodied minds a la Matrix.

Maybe it happened 10,000 years ago—that is, years as previously measured by the Earth's former orbital cycles.

I would like the physicists to come up with what it would take to destroy the world. Then my evil plan will be one step closer to reality. [evil laugh]HA HA HA HA[/evil laugh]

The runaway black hole theory is interesting, but shouldn't work due to the fact that any matter that gets sucked in will only provide a little more mass, but no more energy. You will need a lot more constant gravitational energy to keep drawing matter into it. And even at the core of the Earth there wouldn't be enough energy to keep it going.

And the great part about this stance is if I and a bunch of other scientists are wrong, it won't matter.
