Should we risk creating a black hole?

Cut and paste thread.

I was going to answer that and give a little friendly warning about that username as I dont know how the female mods would take to that...but hes already restricted..lol..

I didnt want to create a new thread but whats up with doc hawk?..I only caught the end...he gonna make it...???

should we. probally a bad idea.
so are alot of the things "we" do.
we do them anyways. only live once.
do it. do the black hole and toss things into
it just for kicks. even if you dont think they should,
since we are actually talking "they" not "we", if they
can and they want to, they just will anyways.

No, the Large Hadron Collider shouldn't have been built.

I wonder what the chances are that it is still working, they have found something they don´t want us to know about and that sort of conspiracy thing ?

Denefintely no..Why take such a risk!!

Ive just read an excellent book which explains a lot about Quantum Theory by Marcus Chown called "Quantum Theory cannot hurt you"

This gives an insight into why the LHC has been built.

Thought I´d dig this up now that the LHC is online again, and yesterday apparently created a "mini big bang" by smashing lead ions together.

News links below.

So now we know how the universe started, someone went back in time and smashed some lead ions together🙂

10,000,000,000,000 oC temperatures?...Nice...

We're going to have to wait a month before anything interesting comes of this. Sorting through those piles of data takes a long time.

Well time keeps slowing down as we get closer to the blackhole . . .

Some scientists believe there is the slight chance of a black hole or "stranglets" being created causing catastrophe of epic proportions, mabye destroying the planet!!

Well if they do destroy the planet, we could all as one people stand in line, and sue them.

The idea sounds like fiction. If there's anything to be afraid of it's probably just a large explosion. If the explosion is equal to 1 powerful warhead then the people who get killed will be talked about by the people who didn't. If it kills us all then none of us will care anyway. I don't think we can make a black hole no matter what math you present me with. From what I know about them they are collapsed stars with intense gravitational pull that is formed after a supernova or "star death" So we're discussing humans making stars now. seems like fiction 😮‍💨

No wonder it went bang. Hard to imagine you can have such high temperatures in small space an be able to measure it. I doubt they diped a thermometer in.

10,000,000,000,000 degrees Celsius, do you really believe that? What is the melting point of steel? Come the f@*^ on! how the hell did or could or should I say would they contain that much energy? I think someone needs to have a long talk with these knuckle heads before they bring about Ragnarok. Seriously though, we could be facing mass extinction, if something went horribly wrong. Last time I checked, I thought that they were in court about the Collider. How did the judges grant them permission to go ahead with the possible extinction of the human race?

They didn't. That was the point, they wanted to see what came flying out when they smashed the ions together.

The LHC tests are performed on a tremendously small scale, I don't think any reaction between or within miniscule amounts of any type of atoms will result in some effect even remotely threatening.
Ok, maybe some operator there might get a bad case of time-traveling quarks through the cranium, but a black hole? Don't think so.

Ten trillion degrees. That's hotter than heat vision.

I doubt it's really "hot" in any meaningful sense. We're talking about two atoms after all.
