Please don't joke about these stuff, because I panic very easily. Life was so much more simple when I didn't know about vacuum bubbles or magnetic monopoles. Now I realized we're just mere humans and an event occurring in space could kill us all and there won't be anything we can do about it.

But the LHC won't cause it despite recreating the first second after the big bang because cosmic rays do the same, right?

Next year they're going to start colliding protons at higher energy, so I hope this break will give us a chance to reassure ourselves so we won't panic. These first collisions came off as a surprise, but I'm pretty sure the media is going to hype the higher energy ones, so we all need to prepare for...

Who are these people and who let them sing those awful songs in CERN territory?

It'd be so funny if after all the hype the LHC didn't discover anything new because a telescope in space found it first

Quite a frightening scenario. I know the odds of this sort of quantum tunneling event happening in our lifetime are slim, but still. Basically according to this theory the universe can be swallowed by a bubble at any second.

Not much can happen before tomorrow evening. I think it would be good to get a little break from the LHC.

Now we have crude errors in LHC safety, as a result, we all can be burned alive. Probability is about of dozens percents. In the previous physics forum you posted your theories they explained to you exactly why you are wrong. Your main argument to the errors of the physicists is that cosmic rays ha...

Maybe he's the anti pope St. Malachy made a prophecy about.

Ivan, you didn't answer my question - You thought the blue spiral in Norway was a magnetic hole but it turned out you were wrong. If you meet physicists who will address every claim you make and explain to you your mistakes, are you willing to listen? If not, what makes you think you're the smartest...

I have a few scenarios besides the LHC that sometimes scare me - 1. Our false vacuum tunneling to the true vacuum, destroying everyone. 2. Yellowstone erupting. 3. Gamma rays from supernova that's close enough to us. 4. Nuclear war. 5. Asteroid. 6. Some sort of ancient apocalyptic prophecy turning o...

You thought the blue spiral in Norway was a magnetic hole but it turned out you were wrong. If you meet physicists who will address every claim you make and explain to you your mistakes, are you willing to listen? If not, what makes you think you're the smartest guy on the planet?

You seem to be in good spirits today, Ivan
Tell me, is there any chance you'll learn the collider is safe before the next collisions?

It's like the silence before the storm. I'm pretty sure Ivan is going to come back and post something even more scandalous.

Are they still continuing with their normal schedule or are they trying to find out the source of the technical difficulties first?
