Maybe, but to date he's just a miserable failure who happens to kick a lot of @$$ on the way to an ignominious defeat.

Has Al Gore tried to take credit for this yet?

Oh come on, I don't like the guy but this joke is pretty lame (and old, besides). All the guy did was telling people that he supported the creation of WWW in congress, wich is true.

According to that there will be some new elements/particles or so but no black hole.

According to that there will be a five month delay or so but no black hole.

My writing style has to be truly inspiring.

**naut** · 11-21-2007, 12:50

Damn selfish if they do destroy the universe.

**The_Mark** · 11-21-2007, 15:59

At least no-one will be around to flog them for that.

**Viking** · 11-21-2007, 16:33

Yeah it's a win-win situation.

**Rameusb5** · 11-21-2007, 19:29

Well I, for one, welcome our new black hole overlords.

PS- thanks for posting the brainy stuff. I find this stuff fascinating. My biggest regret is that mankind still hasn't figured out the universe and probably will not in my lifetime.

**Myrddraal** · 11-21-2007, 21:03

and probably will not in my lifetime.

Considering that's just a few days now (along with the rest of earth) I doubt it

I'm working on it, damnit!

**drone** · 11-21-2007, 22:00

My hope is not for an unexpected black hole, but for the opening of a portal to the Realm of Chaos. We need warpstone and daemons to shake things up a little.

**Rhyfelwyr** · 11-22-2007, 00:03

Nobody panic, the Swiss scientists living in an underground complex think their giant particle accelerator probably won't rip apart the universe.

Seriously, if there's even a small chance of that happening, should they really be going ahead with this?

What is the knowledge gained from this experiment supposed to achieve anyway? Not complaining I'm actually just wondering...

I don't like the sound of the whole thing, sounds like something out of an epic Hollywood film, I'm wating for Bruce Willis or James Bond to go and have a shoot up in the laboratory.

Like that film where everyone starts suffocating on the train...

Blood for the Blood God.

I don't want to sit on the golden throne

like an unflushed turd for eternity.

But being a sensai would be cool.

**AntiochusIII** · 11-22-2007, 00:51

It's nice of them to wait after thanksgiving before destroying the universe and all.

I'd rather agree with Caledonian Rhyfelwyr though; a D&D-like pantheon streaming out of Switzerland would make an awesomely exciting world! Cyric the Mad, your first worshipper awaits!

Where we're going, you won't need eyes to see.

Geez, people....

**Gregoshi** · 11-23-2007, 04:06

These are the types of experiements that should be happening out in space, not anywhere on our planet. Brilliant minds are at work here, but the lack of wisdom is astounding - must have gotten sucked into a mini-black hole.

**Viking** · 11-23-2007, 12:07

I think the point is that this sort of collision happens in space all the time.

**Vladimir** · 11-23-2007, 17:14

It does but won't stop the Luddites from organizing.

**Papewaio** · 11-26-2007, 00:57

The real-politics

answer should have been it is impossible this will create a black hole.

The reason being, if it doesn't then we go along as normal.
If it does create a black hole... well we probably will be dead so quickly that we don't get time to say 'I told you so.'

**Louis VI the Fat** · 11-26-2007, 01:25

But what if this black hole will only devour Switzerland? That would be a disaster of unprecedented proportions - we have a European Championship planned there next year!

All the Great Footballing Nations of Europe will be present and are counting on the continued existence of Switzerland. This experiment must be postponed until August.

If you create a black hole out of protons, you still have a black hole made of the mass of protons. The gravitation exerted by it would still be just as big as the gravity created by it's constituent protons, which is small. The size of the event horizon would be extremely small as well as the size of it depends, again, on the mass of the bhole. You can't fall into it - it'd be the same as the Sun falling into pinhead in Switzerland.

Now, I'd be more concerned of strangelets.

**Papewaio** · 11-26-2007, 23:31

Well if it is going to be such a small black hole wouldn't it just evaporate in an instant?

**The_Mark** · 11-27-2007, 12:36

Yeah, it would, provided that they do evaporate.

**R'as al Ghul** · 11-27-2007, 13:56

Can someone explain why this small black hole would not grow once created?
I mean, given the alleged appetite for mass and stuff in general I'd expect the thing to grow exponentially.
I don't have a major in physics but am a StarTrek fan, which amounts to almost the same I believe.

If someone could explain this in Star Trek terms it'd be appreciated.
