CERN's Large Hadron Collider will NOT destroy our planet. But many of you asked about it - and the "scenarios" are a good excuse to discuss some cool physics.



Dr Tony Padilla discusses a few doomsday theories from the very centre of the famed accelerator ring. Stand back and keep an eye out for black holes and strangelets!!!

You may have heard theories that particle accelerators could destroy earth by creating strange matter, an accidental black hole, or by tearing the fabric of spacetime itself. But is there any real science behind these claims?

Science has been destroying the World for over a century!

Tiny black holes seem to be no problem as they have almost no mass
so their gravity is too small to grow &
they evaporate in less than a nanosecond however -

strangelets are stable and seem dangerous.

Watch the videos & see for yourself.
They seem to be making strangelets at the LHC.

Science is like a woman.
It has eaten from the  Tree of Knowledge.
It is woman that defied God, by entrusting the Snake Satan... who is also a Woman.
Man followed the intellectual Lead of a Woman.
Because when you plant your seed inside the body of a woman.
She plants a dream inside your mind. ;)

There is NO risk. Collisions of much more extreme nature happen all the time in the universe.

See link: Link to How Stuff Works

One fear is that the LHC could produce black holes. Black holes are regions in which matter collapses into a point of infinite density. CERN scientists admit that the LHC could produce black holes, but they also say those black holes would be on a subatomic scale and would collapse almost instantly. In contrast, the black holes astronomers study result from an entire star collapsing in on itself. There's a big difference between the mass of a star and that of a proton.
Another concern is that the LHC will produce an exotic (and so far hypothetical) material called strangelets. One possible trait of strangelets is particularly worrisome. Cosmologists theorize that strangelets could possess a powerful gravitational field that might allow them to convert the entire planet into a lifeless hulk.
Scientists at LHC dismiss this concern using multiple counterpoints. First, they point out that strangelets are hypothetical. No one has observed such material in the universe. Second, they say that the electromagnetic field around such material would repel normal matter rather than change it into something else. Third, they say that even if such matter exists, it would be highly unstable and would decay almost instantaneously. Fourth, the scientists say that high-energy cosmic rays should produce such material naturally. Since the Earth is still around, they theorize that strangelets are a non-issue.
Another theoretical particle the LHC might generate is a magnetic monopole. Theorized by P.A.M. Dirac, a monopole is a particle that holds a single magnetic charge (north or south) instead of two. The concern Wagner and Sancho cited is that such particles could pull matter apart with their lopsided magnetic charges. CERN scientists disagree, saying that if monopoles exist, there's no reason to fear that such particles would cause such destruction. In fact, at least one team of researchers is actively looking for evidence of monopoles with the hopes that the LHC will produce some.
Other concerns about the LHC include fears of radiation and the fact that it will produce the highest energy collisions of particles on Earth. CERN states that the LHC is extremely safe, with thick shielding that includes 100 meters (328 feet) of earth on top of it. In addition, personnel are not allowed underground during experiments. As for the concern about collisions, scientists point out that high-energy cosmic ray collisions happen all the time in nature. Rays collide with the sun, moon and other planets, all of which are still around with no sign of harm. With the LHC, those collisions will happen within a controlled environment. Otherwise, there's really no difference.
Will the LHC succeed in furthering our knowledge about the universe? Will the data collected raise more questions than it answers? If past experiments are any indication, it's probably a safe bet to assume the answer to both of these questions is yes

The greatest discovery Science will ever make is the mortality of Humanity's doom.

Yes - the first video is the least concerning.
Strangelets do exist inside Neutron Stars.
They are still of concern if one could be made
it would start turning everything it touched into a larger strangelet.

The only thing that will happen to the LHC is that it will soon collapse into a black hole of wasted Funds and never be seen again as they have to scrap it to sell to help repay the Debts that it accumulated for being the greatest Scientific waste of time and money. It's the Science version of Disneyland. Where Scientists can go and play 'Science' in a 'recreational' way bearing no importance at all - beyond other people having paid for it. ::)

Bobby,

There is nothing to fear and taking snippets out of context is Chicken Little stuff.

Need to wait to see the results of the investigation into neutron stars I guess.

Dangers
If the strange matter hypothesis is correct and a stable negatively-charged strangelet with a surface tension larger than the aforementioned critical value exists, then a larger strangelet would be more stable than a smaller one. One speculation that has resulted from the idea is that a strangelet coming into contact with a lump of ordinary matter could convert the ordinary matter to strange matter.[15][16] This "ice-nine"-like disaster scenario is as follows: one strangelet hits a nucleus, catalyzing its immediate conversion to strange matter. This liberates energy, producing a larger, more stable strangelet, which in turn hits another nucleus, catalyzing its conversion to strange matter. In the end, all the nuclei of all the atoms of Earth are converted, and Earth is reduced to a hot, large lump of strange matter.
This is not a concern for strangelets in cosmic rays because they are produced far from Earth and have had time to decay to their ground state, which is predicted by most models to be positively charged, so they are electrostatically repelled by nuclei, and would rarely merge with them.[17][18] But high-energy collisions could produce negatively charged strangelet states which live long enough to interact with the nuclei of ordinary matter.[19]

The danger of catalyzed conversion by strangelets produced in heavy-ion colliders has received some media attention,[20][21] and concerns of this type were raised[15][22] at the commencement of the RHIC experiment at Brookhaven, which could potentially have created strangelets. A detailed analysis[16] concluded that the RHIC collisions were comparable to ones which naturally occur as cosmic rays traverse the solar system, so we would already have seen such a disaster if it were possible. RHIC has been operating since 2000 without incident. Similar concerns have been raised about the operation of the LHC at CERN[23] but such fears are dismissed as far-fetched by scientists.[23][24][25]

In the case of a neutron star, the conversion scenario seems much more plausible. A neutron star is in a sense a giant nucleus (20 km across), held together by gravity, but it is electrically neutral and so does not electrostatically repel strangelets. If a strangelet hit a neutron star, it could convert a small region of it, and that region would grow to consume the entire star, creating a quark star.[26]

Debate about the strange matter hypothesis

The strange matter hypothesis remains unproven. No direct search for strangelets in cosmic rays or particle accelerators has seen a strangelet (see references in earlier sections). If any of the objects such as neutron stars could be shown to have a surface made of strange matter, this would indicate that strange matter is stable at zero pressure, which would vindicate the strange matter hypothesis. However there is no strong evidence for strange matter surfaces on neutron stars (see below).
Another argument against the hypothesis is that if it were true, all neutron stars should be made of strange matter, and otherwise none should be.[27] Even if there were only a few strange stars initially, violent events such as collisions would soon create many strangelets flying around the universe. Because a single strangelet will convert a neutron star to strange matter, by now all neutron stars would have been converted. This argument is still debated,[28][29][30][31] but if it is correct then showing that one neutron star has a conventional nuclear matter crust would disprove the strange matter hypothesis.
Because of its importance for the strange matter hypothesis, there is an ongoing effort to determine whether the surfaces of neutron stars are made of strange matter or nuclear matter. The evidence currently favors nuclear matter. This comes from the phenomenology of X-ray bursts, which is well explained in terms of a nuclear matter crust,[32] and from measurement of seismic vibrations in magnetars.[33]

Thanks Nova,
that's interesting.
I think that give such information that we should not build a larger
particle accelerator.
I hear that the Chinese want to build one 5 times larger than the LHC at CERN.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a25101820/china-lhc-particle-collider-cepc/
The Chinese institute announced plans to build its own particle accelerator over the next decade, and it’s designed to surpass the LHC in every way. According to the report authored by the institute, the upcoming collider will be over five times more powerful and over 20 miles in diameter.

I don't think they should -
it's too dangerous.

Anything made in China doesn't last a year.
They will have to build one every year.
Little people making useless big things.
It will accelerate their breeding program though.

Beyond the Higgs: What's Next for the LHC? - with Harry Cliff.


The Royal Institution
Published on Jan 17, 2018
In 2012, the announcement of the Higgs boson made headlines around the world. But what has been going on at the Large Hadron Collider since?  Physicist Harry Cliff will be your guide.

What is the future of the world’s biggest physics experiment? And what intriguing hints of new physics are around the corner?

Harry Cliff is the Science Museum Fellow of Modern Science, which he reckons might be the only job title which begins and ends with 'science'. He spends half his time searching for signs of new physics at LHCb, one of the four big experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. For the other half, he indulges his love of talking about physics at the Science Museum, where he develop exhibitions, events and online content.

This talk was filmed in the Royal Institution on 31 October 2017.

Demon Core: The Unused Third Atomic Bomb of WW2


Dark Docs
Published on Mar 14, 2019
The desert can hold many secrets. The desert near Los Alamos in New Mexico just after World War 2 held perhaps the biggest secret of them all. Learn more about the Most Dangerous Science Experiment in the World with another Dark Docs presented by Dark5.

May 21st, 1946. A top-secret laboratory. A group of scientists look on as one of their colleagues, a Canadian named Louis Slotin, conducts a demonstration. Slotin hovers over a strange object, which sits on display on a small table in front of the crowd of onlookers. The object looks like a metal sphere, nested inside a more substantial metal hemisphere like an egg in a nest. But this metal device contains a terrifying potential. Why? Because it is nothing less than the exposed core of a nuclear bomb, and the egg at the center is an orb of pure plutonium. Imagine being in that room. You probably would have heard a pin drop, such was the intense atmosphere. Slotin’s demonstration was a risky one. The operation he was performing had an ominous nickname among the group – they dubbed it [quote] “tickling the dragon’s tail.”

It's those stable strangelet particles that work the same way as a black hole that worry me. And - they want to make the LHC, 4 times more powerful! Bob , these energy levels are infinitesimal on a cosmic level. they wouldn't tickle a black holes hymen  :D But they don't appear on Earth except for the occasional high energy cosmic rays in the form of protons colliding with our atmosphere. Yes - some of them have been recorded with 7 times the energy of the LHC. Did you watch the video above? Demon Core: The Unused Third Atomic Bomb of WW2 Scientists were playing around with an atomic bomb core of plutonium. If you stand around watching a chain reaction that spews high energy particles at you... you will die. There is no "demon" about it. It was just a case of "shite happened". It goes to show that scientists can be wrong about the dangers of the nuclear physics they play with.

Not wrong. They were at the cutting edge of a new science that was not fully understood and under pressure to win a war.

I think you're just looking for an argument.
That video is an actual smoking gun example.

Scientists get carried away.

Disagreement isn't an argument.

It's not an example of a smoking gun.

Very funny -
do you actually understand what they were doing?
I repeat it below for you.

Demon Core: The Unused Third Atomic Bomb of WW2


Dark Docs
Published on Mar 14, 2019
The desert can hold many secrets. The desert near Los Alamos in New Mexico just after World War 2 held perhaps the biggest secret of them all. Learn more about the Most Dangerous Science Experiment in the World with another Dark Docs presented by Dark5.

May 21st, 1946. A top-secret laboratory. A group of scientists look on as one of their colleagues, a Canadian named Louis Slotin, conducts a demonstration. Slotin hovers over a strange object, which sits on display on a small table in front of the crowd of onlookers. The object looks like a metal sphere, nested inside a more substantial metal hemisphere like an egg in a nest. But this metal device contains a terrifying potential. Why? Because it is nothing less than the exposed core of a nuclear bomb, and the egg at the center is an orb of pure plutonium. Imagine being in that room. You probably would have heard a pin drop, such was the intense atmosphere. Slotin’s demonstration was a risky one. The operation he was performing had an ominous nickname among the group – they dubbed it [quote] “tickling the dragon’s tail.”

CERN’s Ambitious Plan to Build the Largest Particle Smasher Ever.


Published on May 30, 2019


The LHC is the world’s largest particle collider, but has it hit its limit? An international community of physicists are calling for a new CERN “discovery machine” that can reach even higher collision energies and potentially unlock the biggest mysteries of our universe.

Next-generation LHC: CERN lays out plans for €21-billion supercollider
https://www.nature.com/articles/d4158...
“The document offers several preliminary designs for a Future Circular Collider (FCC) — which would be the most powerful particle smasher ever built — with different types of collider ranging in cost from around €9 billion (US$10.2 billion) to €21 billion. It is the lab’s opening bid in a priority-setting process called the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update, which will take place over the next two years and will affect the field’s future well into the second half of the century.”

How to make a Higgs boson
https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/arti...
“It doesn’t seem like collisions of particles with no mass should be able to produce the “mass-giving” boson, the Higgs. But every other second at the LHC, they do.”

The Physics Still Hiding in the Higgs Boson
https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-ph...
“But physicists understand little about the omnipresent Higgs field, or the fateful moment in the early universe when it suddenly shifted from having zero value everywhere (or in other words, not existing) into its current, uniformly valued state. That shift, or “symmetry-breaking” event, instantly rendered quarks, electrons and many other fundamental particles massive, which led them to form atoms and all the other structures seen in the cosmos.”

Will the LHC destroy the world? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KETtEHX3pwo Sixty Symbols Published on May 9, 2012 CERN's Large Hadron Collider will NOT destroy our planet. But many of you asked about it - and the "scenarios" are a good excuse to discuss some cool physics. Dr Tony Padilla discusses a few doomsday theories from the very centre of the famed accelerator ring. Stand back and keep an eye out for black holes and strangelets!!!

Cern's LHC clearly affects the Earth's magnetism what sort of ramifications this has on planet Earth its weather and all  the other cycles is anybody's guess.
