Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days

a reply to: Cobaltic1978

Tiny black holes have been done before by LHC, These articles are made clearly to attract readers, creating a tiny black hole is like creating a mini particle that you wont even feel if it touches you. I doubt these black holes are even black holes in the full meaning of such objects in space.

Unfortunately, they are on experts on what they know - they are attempting things that quite frankly, they don't know the results.

If they knew the results, they wouldn't need to do the experiment.

Enough of this silly doom and gloom already. These fanciful stories come out every time the LHC is in the press. Nothing wild is going to happen except the gathering of useful scientific data.

Because it happens mostly in places where your lab equipment isn't.

Gotcha. So that's different from 'it's happening all around you all the time.' How common is it? Do they know? How do they know it's happening... has it been observed 'in the wild' or is it theoretical? (Inquiring minds want to know, lol.)

Well i for one welcome our Cthulian overlords. How many scientist are there anyway? Do they have all the objects to release Cthulu from his slumber yet?

a reply to: CriticalStinker

Probably??

Some unknowns are too dangerous to task and shouldn't be done even if it can be done.

I hear ya, and I get it. It's just this itty bitty part that nags at me, ya know...

Laws of Probability and Statistics. The first thing you learn is any given thing can happen at any given moment.

...the risk of some catastrophic result is infinitesimally small, for sure. But stakes are huge. Who gives them the right to decide this? If they were doing this to save the world, I'd sing a different tune. But this is like exploratory surgery. I'm just sayin.

It's all okay, they are the experts in opening up parallel universes.

Are we smarter if we discover the hard way that the worst possible outcome is what happens when we play with black holes??

Oppenheimer had his regrets.

You mean like they did in DOOM right?

a reply to: Ultralight

Again, these silly takes of apocalyptic events get churned out with regularity whenever the LHC is in the news. Nothing like that will happen. Makes for a good click bait headline, though.

I'm sure they know what they are doing. But I wouldn't be worried about what they tell us they are doing
but more so about what they don't tell us!
There will be public knowledge experiments and secret ones also.
Fascinating nonetheless!

it has to be fairly common. we know the types of particles that collide up there and we know thier masses and velocities.they exceed the same statistics for the LHC. and they occur in every milli-meter of space at least in the upper atmosphere. so there are trillions of them here and that does not even count every place else in the universe. every star, every planet. we have seen various things do stuff like our colliders. for example lightning makes antimatter gamma ray and x ray bursts. our balloon and sounding rockets have detected and characterized cosmic ray collisions and photographic plates get fuzzed even if in complete darkness if you leave them around long enough. if the theory says that the collider will create one of these at x circumstances and you believe that then you have to believe if the same circumstances happen in nature that they also create them.

the peril is over. there was a black hole here but my cat ate it.

A lot of info to be sure but 'must read' materiel! One things for sure, the info explains a legit fear that I pray does not go unrecognized....Pretty scary times! Scary indeed!

Can anyone give a laymans, what are the Large Hadrons they are colliding?

Is Doom a movie??

This is flesh and blood civilization at risk, not a movie, game, book, tv show, etc. and there is ZERO going back once the black hole creation technology is unleashed.

The potential for catastrophe and/or unintended consequences is very real. No "take-backsies".

a reply to: GetHyped

Oppenheimer said that once, too.

a reply to: Ultralight

Good for Oppenheimer! That has nothing to do with the LHC.

The LHC is not actually creating black holes in the same understanding that astronomy understands blackholes. These are heavy particles at very high energy, so that when they are collided their mass and kinetic energy is able to create new material for extremely brief durations only. They arise and fade so fast we need super-cooled instrumentation to record their brief existence as a snapshot.

The LHC is simply a vast microscope peering into quantum levels. The idea is to create higher and higher energies where the known forces conjoin together and disappear. Once they reach that level, then they can truly say they have reached back in time to the first few nano seconds of the big bang.

The concept of parallel universe is based on the infinite levels of the energy scale. Think of it like a piano keyboard, each key representing a note or a wavelength of an harmonic, and each harmonic melding into an octave, with each octave representing a universe.
