Stop Physics Experiment

Stop Physics Experiment

Target:
European Organization for Nuclear Research
Sponsored by: 
Physicists plan to create the physics that existed only a few seconds after the big bang, the event that physics says created the universe. The machine that will be used to do this is called The Large Hadron Collider. 
This machine has so much power it will create small black holes, and small black holes in physics are only created when gigantic amounts of power are used.  No machine on earth has ever produced small black holes, which shows the gigantic amount of power that is in use.  The European Organization for Nuclear Research admit they are not 100% sure what will happen in physics when such a gigantic amount of power is used. If the European Organization for Nuclear Research are not 100% sure what will happen, they should not use the machine at all.  The  European Organization for Nuclear Research website is http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/LHC-en.html

Who are you to play God? I understand your curiosity and the struggle to discover the beginning. But why aren't you informing the public, really I'm not a scientist and I don't understand your aims. You are not sure what will happen... How can I be sure that I'll experience tomorrow???

I'm too stupid too understand what's going to happen. Actually I'm too stupid to understand most of the difficult stuff. What will happen at LHC is unknown to me. So I AM AGANIST IT. Actually I'm AGANIST most of the difficult stuff.

I am not versed in the way of science all that much but i do know one thing. The fact that they dont know 100% what is going to happen when they start these experiments is reason enough for it to be stopped. They say the risk is small, well if there is a risk, do not do it! How can C.E.R.N have the ability and the authority to dictate earths future and the creatures that live on it? Why is no one stepping in to stop this experiment? Why are there no programmes on T.V right now addressing the issues and making it more common knowledge that these people are trying to create black holes. I cannot belive this is happening. If an average guy was to create some sort of life threatening experiment in his basement that could affect the whole planet then i am sure he would be pounced upon in a matter of weeks. C.E.R.N are openly doing just this and no one is saying a word about it or making any moves to stop them. If this experiment could affect the whole world, then the whole world should have a say on wether it goes ahead! Please stop what you are doing and think of the amount of precious life you are risking, does this not play on your conscious at all, do you have no thought for the peoples lives you are putting at risk? Are you honestly so sure that nothing will happen that will risk people lives? No your not, because you already admitted you do not know 100% what will happen. I say again, please stop this now!

Oh, hi. We're going to POSSIBLY destroy your planet now. To find out what it was like a few seconds after the big bang. BECAUSE ITS THAT IMPORTANT. TRUST US.

This experiment can not go ahead. Nobody knows what will happen that is why it is called an experiment. It's one thing doing some theory tests in a lab. But it's another story when it comes to putting our world we all have to live on in serious danger, just because a few guy's want to know what might happen.

Please stop this exeperiment. I happen to enjoy this planet and gravity. Please find some other planet to experiment on. For the sake of humanity.

This summer, LHC (Large Hadron Collider) machine is set to launch in CERN, near Geneva, in a tunnel under France and Switzerland border. It will be the strongest accelerator ever built by a man, and according to physicists it is possible it can produce black holes and/or strange matter (it is designed to answer some questions addressing among others these forms of matter). The first beams will be injected mid June 2008 with the first collisions planned to take place on August 2008. Physicists admit that the LHC's outcome is strictly theoretical. According to one scenario tiny black holes could be produced which hopefully would decay into what is known as Hawking radiation (according to Hawking hypothesis, the tinier the black hole is, the faster it evaporates). And the latter is strictly hypothetical and based on some assumptions of still non-existing quantum theory of gravitation, which is searched by physicists nowadays, without apparent successes. Therefore, if these black holes fail to decay, which is as good hypothesis as the otherwise statement, the consequences could be disastrous. Some scientists indicate that cosmic rays should give similar effect, but they neglect the fact that in these cases Earth forms target from which black holes are struck out into outer space with velocities close to the velocity of light. In LHC artificial rays (particles) will be struck head-to-head and many products (including mini black holes and strange matter particles) remain within the Earth with velocities not enough to escape out there. Many scientists (even working in CERN) are expressing similar concerns about the project. Ran Livneh of CERN said: "This physical realm is unknown, and dangerous phenomena might arise… Any physicist will tell you that there is no way to prove that generated black holes will decay. The consequences of being mistaken are unfathomable. This subject deserves serious unbiased discussion." Sir Martin Rees, Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics University of Cambridge says: "It is not inconceivable that physics could be dangerous too. Some experiments are designed to generate conditions more extreme than ever occur naturally. Nobody then knows exactly what will happen. Indeed, there would be no point in doing any experiments if their outcomes could be fully predicted in advance. Some theorists have conjectured that certain types of experiment could conceivably unleash a runaway process that destroyed not just us but Earth itself." We are strongly aware of our, and our children safety and safety of our planet and its future as a whole. So we demand to close the project before the worst imaginable disastrous occurs. We also strongly insist to work out the world memorandum on similar researches for nearest century, or at least until the similar experiments could be placed far away from Earth. (The best possible location seems to be accelerator accelerating out the Solar System, set to launch on its peripheries at the range of Oort Cloud, roughly 50000 AU from Earth, at least.) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Latem tego roku w CERN pod Genewą zostanie uruchomiona maszyna o nazwie LHC (Wielki Zderzacz Hadronów) budowana w tunelu na granicy Francji i Szwajcarii. Będzie to najpotężniejszy akcelerator kiedykolwiek zbudowany przez człowieka. Zdaniem fizyków możliwe będzie wyprodukowanie w nim czarnych dziur i/lub tzw. dziwnej materii (zaprojektowano go z zamiarem poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pewne pytania związane m.in. z tymi postaciami materii). Pierwsze wiązki (o energii pociągu ekspresowego każda, skoncentrowanej na powierzchni jądra atomowego) zostaną przyśpieszone w kanale akceleratora w połowie czerwca 2008 r., a pierwsze zderzenia na kursie kolizyjnym takich przeciwbieżnych wiązek planowane są na sierpień 2008 r. Fizycy sami przyznają, że to, co powstanie w wyniku tych kolizji w LHC nosi na dzień dzisiejszy czysto teoretyczny charakter. Według jednego ze scenariuszy, mogą zostać wyprodukowane m.in. drobne czarne dziury, co do których ma się nadzieję, że ulegną one rozpadowi na tzw. promieniowanie Hawkinga (wg hipotezy Hawkinga, im mniejsza jest czarna dziura, tym szybciej "wyparuje" ona w postaci takiego promieniowania). Ale to ostatnie to czysto hipotetyczna ewentualność, oparta na pewnych ad hoc założeniach wciąż jeszcze nie istniejącej kwantowej teorii grawitacji, której fizycy nadal poszukują w naszych czasach, bez widocznego powodzenia. Zatem, jeśli te czarne dziury nie zechcą się rozpaść (co jest zupełnie możliwe, zgodnie z dotychczasową wiedzą co do zachowania się znanych i obserwowanych we Wszechświecie czarnych dziur, a więc i czarnych dziur w ogóle, które nie tylko, że są trwałe, ale stale rosną, pochałaniając i miażdżąc całą dostępną na ich drodze masę i docierającą do nich energię), co jest przynajmniej równie dobrą hipotezą, jak stwierdzenie przeciwne, KONSEKWENCJE MOGĄ BYC KATASTROFALNE!!! Niektórzy naukowcy wskazują na to, że promieniowanie kosmiczne powinno powodować podobny efekt, ale pomijają oni przy tym niezwykłej wagi fakt, że w takich przypadkach Ziemia tworzy tarczę, z której hipotetyczne mini czarne dziury wybijane są w zewnętrzą przestrzeń kosmiczną z prędkościami bliskimi prędkosci światła (mogą przy tym przelatywać przez całą planetę, jak cząstki obojętne neutrina, i nie pochłonąć ani grama jej masy). W superakceleratorze LHC sztuczne promienie (cząstki rozpędzone do energii pociągu) będą zderzane ze sobą czołowo i wiele produktów tych zderzeń (włączajac w to mini czarne dziury i cząsteczki tzw. dziwnej materii) pozostanie na naszej planecie z uwagi na ich prędkości (niemal spoczynkowe), które uniemożliwią im ucieczkę z Ziemi (pokonanie jej siły ciążenia). Wielu uczonych (nawet pracowników CERN) wyraża podobne obawy dotyczące tego projektu. Ran Livneh z CERN powiedział: "Fizyka tych tworów jest nieznana i mogą one wywołać niebezpieczne zjawiska.(...) Każdy fizyk powie Państwu, że nie istnieje żaden sposób, aby udowodnić, że wygenerowane czarne dziury będą się rozpadać. Konsekwencje błędnego stanowiska w tej kwestii są niewyobrażalne. Kwestia ta zasługuje na poważną bezstronną dyskusję." Martin Rees - Profesor Kosmologii i Astrofizyki University of Cambridge powiedział: "nie jest nieprawdopodobną rzeczą, że fizyka może być także niebezpieczna. Pewne eksperymenty są tak zaprojektowane, że generują warunki bardziej ekstremalne, niż gdziekolwiek występujące w naturze. Zatem nikt nie wie dokładnie, co się zdarzy [w ich wyniku]. W istocie nie byłoby sensu w przeprowadzaniu jakichkolwiek eksperymentów, gdyby ich wynik mógł być z góry w pełni przewidywalny. Niektórzy teoretycy przypuszczają, że nie jest wykluczone, że pewnego typu eksperymenty mogą spuścić ze smyczy procesy zdolne zniszczyć nie po prostu nas, ale samą Ziemię." W związku z wszystkimi kontrowersyjnymi kwestiami, jakie zostały powyżej poruszone, poważnie obawiamy się o własne i naszych dzieci bezpieczeństwo oraz o bezpieczeństwo całej naszej planety i jej przyszłość. Dlatego domagamy się zamknięcia projektu, zanim nastąpi najgorsza do wyobrażenia z katastrof. Nalegamy również usilnie na wypracowanie śwuiatowego memorandum na podobne badania w okresie obecnego stulecia, lub przynajmniej do chwili, dopóki podobne eksperymenty nie będą mogły zostać przeprowadzone wystarczająco daleko od Ziemi (najlepszą możliwą lokalizacją wydaje się na dziś w tej zapewne nie tak znowu odległej dla naszej cywilizacji naukowo-technicznej przyszłości akcelerator, sam wylatujący z Układu Słonecznego z przyśpieszeniem dostatecznym do jego opuszczenia na zawsze, a uruchomiony dopiero na jego peryferiach, przynajmniej 50000 jednostek astronomicznych od Ziemi, najlepiej gdzieś za kometarnym obłokiem Oorta).

Black holes produced by LHC with expected rate 1 per second may not evaporate, as many physicist hope, and stay on Earth. Obtained in LHC single free 'strangelet' may change all the Earth matter into strange one (with energy emission comparable with supernova explosion). And there are many other possible LHC 'products', about which we do not know literally anything. We even do not have speculative hypothesis on most of unknown objects and phenomena we possibly create. So why we try to run such potentially apocalyptic laboratory in our home? Wait a couple of decades and try that far away of Earth!

Physicists do not have right to play with the future of humanity. I am a retired scientist, founding Executive Director of the Johnson GEO CENTRE, founder of the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum and former Curator of Geology at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History. I do not support the Hadron experiments! Fortunately the atmosphere did not ignite during the first atomic blast. That was put forth as a possibilty then, but they went ahead anyway. I am fully in favour of the pursuit of knowledge, but not if there is any risk to the planet.

This is the most disgustingly self serving piece of junk I have ever seen to come out of the scientific community. Just who, precisely, has the authority to give the go ahead on an experiment that gambles the lives of everyone on the planet?? And to answer a curiousity question at that!?
