Doomsday Fears Spark Lawsuit

[adriver]

And in keeping with our attemps to make this the most interesting MOPAR site.
This just in: Now we have to wonder about being destroyed by man made black holes.

So blower technoligy is out and I should wait for the
new warp drive or the new string engine.
I really hate the fact that all I have to work with is a bumpy stick, springs
and the ineffient infernal combustion engine.
I want my own partical accelerator and I want it now!

Wow. What a couple of morons. IF, and I say IF the LHC were to create black holes that converged and swallowed the planet, I doubt there would be enough warning for them to scream "OH SHI..."

Realistically, it will create a WORM HOLE and the BORG will wind up finding us centuries before they normally would

Boy's If I can my hands on one of these new particle accelarators,
I'm gonna give new meaning to scorched earth,
In every new dementia I can find.




:burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout:




I hope it can be driven off a blower drive belt at lease the portable ones.

Lawyers would have stopped the Manhattan Project if they had learned that one scientist theorized that exploding an atom bomb would ignite the atmosphere. Too bad society puts so much credence in present-day Know-Nothings and Luddites.

I'd be the first to admit that my understanding of particle science is pretty basic, like most people, but I do understand that as scientists look deeper into such things as quirks and quarks they're having to rewrite alot of the books around this science. Personally I'm happy that people are asking questions of the builders of this "machine" (shades of the movie Contact and it's to bad it's with lawyers) as we all know what can happen when scientists run amok. BOM. The more we understand what's going on out there the better off we'll be, hopefully we'll understand before we exterminate ourselves with man made terminations.

Personally, I'd really like to see how the Borg would assimilate a Hemi Dart Super Stocker...............

Resistance would most certainly be fu-tile. :read2:

I don't think it's possible that mankind can, at this point in time, manufacture a black hole. The densities required, along with the pressures, gravity, and heat needed to initiate a black hole are way beyond our humble abilities.

I think this is more a case of some idiot looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

IF we could somehow make a black hole, then traveling faster than the speed of light would be a breeze.......

I've been following this collider for quite some time, and they've constantly said that they will create blackholes as a result, but they will be microscopic, and last for fractions of fractions of a second. Sure that sounds scary, but wouldn't you like to push that unmarked red button?

I think you're confusing black holes (which are caused by the intense gravity of collapsing stars) with a WORM hole, which is (theoretically speaking) a hole in space which has another end to it.

At this particular point in time, I don't think anyone has any idea where everything (including light) that gets sucked in to a black hole goes. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent guy and can grasp a fair amount of theoretical physics, but I can't wrap my mind around the concept of the gravitational pull of a black hole being strong enough to continue to compress everything pulled in to it.

Interesting read:

Check it!

Interesting. I've heard/read about these "jets" shooting out as a result of/from black holes, but I've never seen anything that claims that these jets are shooting out of the center of a black hole on the "inbound" side. That would be like water draining out of your sink, and there being a fountain shooting the water back up out of the center of the drain.

Any astrophysicists on board here??

I didn't understand much of it, but I liked the song.

"There once was a girl named Bright, whose speed was faster than light.
She left home one day in a relative way, and returned the previous night."

There once was a man from Panas.... I better stop there.
