here we go again, another doom prediction by self proclaimed experts but what do you think?, does the safety report need an update?
also glad to see common sense in this one

also this last one explains what a strangelet could do to earth
http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/lo ... ns-2823710
I even commented on the first one
models have indicated that strangelets are only stable or long-lived at low temperatures and are bound at low energies (in the range of 1–10 MeV), while the collisions in the RHIC release energies of up to 100 GeV. Thermodynamics very strongly disfavors the formation of a cold condensate that is an order of magnitude cooler than the surrounding medium. As an example, it is far more probable that ice will form spontaneously in boiling water
Also 7.3 GeV. is equal to 7300 MeV, but I do understand their concerns*
*used this to make that calculation http://www.unitjuggler.com/convert-ener ... o-MeV.html
wow this forum hasn't been very active for a while
