If any of these things happens, we're doomed. They base their safety reports on these 'threats' not being possible.

Larry, the only thing that confuses me is that suit you are wearing.LarryS wrote:I must warn you that Scientific Facts will only confuse "them."

What I find weird is that there's a logic controversy about creating Black Holes, but there is none about Hawking Radiation. How can one be sure about black hole evaporation postulated by theory, when one has to build a machine and scope the whole spectrum to prove the 'theoretical' Higgs. Even more strangely is the fact that some people are saying that: "not finding the Higgs would be more interesting". And yet this radiation is taken for granted in the LHC Safety Study (see below).Kasuha wrote:In nowaday's universe, it takes a mass of a rather large star to form a black hole by the mass falling on itself once it has cooled enough. But smaller black holes can theoretically form if you find a way how to compress their mass under the necessary limit. And there comes the controversy as some say you can achieve that by colliding particles and some say you can't.
Drawing from research performed to assess the safety of the RHIC collisions, the LHC Safety Study Group, a group of independent scientists, performed a safety analysis of the LHC, and released their findings in the 2003 report Study of Potentially Dangerous Events During Heavy-Ion Collisions at the LHC. The report concluded that there is "no basis for any conceivable threat". Several of its arguments were based on the predicted evaporation of hypothetical micro black holes by Hawking radiation and on the theoretical predictions of the Standard Model with regard to the outcome of events to be studied in the LHC.
