Dear STFC, WTF? Sincerely, Ian
They're expected to find the Higgs; if they fail to do so, and don't find anything else, this may be the last accelerator built in our lifetimes.
In order for Earth to be in danger from the Large Hadron Collider, based on current assumptions, the following would need to be true:
- If Micro black holes are created -- Unknown, predicted by some physicists.
- Hawking Radiation would need to fail. -- Unknown, challenged by some studies and polls.
- Micro black holes would need to grow quickly. -- Unknown, predicted by some theories.
Cosmic ray impacts do not prove safety because results of cosmic rays pass through Earth and into space at nearly the speed of light. If colliders create micro black holes from head-on collisions, some percentage will travel too slowly to escape Earth's gravity.
CERN employees and supporters are censoring opposing views from Professors and PHDs of Math, Physics and other theoretical sciences from the Wikipedia article on Large Hadron Collider Safety: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Safety_of_the...
