The incoming BigBang experience

Post by Zepper »

- A famous european science labs are going to do something that might be dangerous - a pair of atoms will collide near the speed of the light. Such impact might generate a black hole or some dark mass that could "erase" the Earth.

- Heh, I'm sorry for possible english-translation distortion, though that's it. Perhaps it sounds funny, but what do you think about it?

ARGH! NOOOOOOOOOOO! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I never found out where babies came from!

blargg, I love you!

[Seriously now]
Microscopic Black holes are formed all the time, and vanish instantly, so I wouldn't worry to much. What's your source on this?

Yeah, but it'll be amazing if they make that atom! World sucked into a black hole? Who cares, we'll make the atom! ^_^

Humans will destroy the planet eventually... getting sucked in to a black hole does not sound all that bad compared to all the other possibilities...

Anyway, sources would be nice.

i remember seeing a documentary on the history channel about this not too long ago. it was more about larger black holes found in outer space, but ended talking about particle accelerators and studying background radiation or something like that.

besides, maybe the black hole will lead to the creation of a new universe outside our own...
. That's just like, your opinion, man .

Lol, I'll probably be the first of Nesdev communauty to be aspired in the black hole since it's rather close to where I live (at least to mondial scale). Anyway, I'm pretty sure the black hole theory was build by scientists that oppose the project for another reason and that this is a lame excuse.

I don’t pretend to know much about it but that dose not seem like it would be possible with an experiment on such a relatively small scale.

If the earth dose get sucked in I guess I will have to find a differint place to keep all my stuff.

I don't know... there's a small possibilty that black hole will destroy the Earth, so I'm backing up all my source code to a DVD right now.
Better safe than sorry!!

I think if the world were sucked into a black hole, there would be no one left to care. I'm pretty sure the whole earth would be "Spaghettified", which is basically like everything is stretched out a whole bunch. And colliding atoms at that speed would probably just cause nuclear fission. But I don't know too much about it. Black holes are really strange, almost to the point where it just can't make any sense.

Actually all your stuff would technically be in the same place.

And yes you're right, there would be no one left to care. Hmm, I wonder if that Jesus guy would return to earth and save us just before we died... Nope, thought not.

I'm still hoping to be sucked in a black hole and then happen to be teleported to another dimention/world where you don't have to work in order to survive.

That seems like hopeless, tough.

Aside of this that sound like a really great scenario for a NES game : A mad scientist creates a particle accelerator to create a black hole and suck the whole earth in, and you must stop his evil doing blah blah blah.

What's up with all this well-reasoned scientific discussion? I always thought the point of such a colossal particle accelerator was to make childish dick jokes about its name.
