Welcome to LHCountdown.com, this site is primarily a countdown site to the activation of the Large Hadron Collider ....

LHC cern lawsuit filed.... 3-28-08

I guess it was shut down... not the collider but the lawsuit


phd gallows humor... lol

=====================================

A lawsuit has been filed in Hawaii in an attempt to hold up the start of operations by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) atom-smasher on the French-Swiss border.

A colourful American botanist, teacher, former biologist and sometime physicist says (in outline) that the LHC may rip a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum and so destroy the Earth. He wants the US government to act now and delay the LHC's startup while a new safety review is carried out.

Walter L Wagner and his fellow Hawaiian Luis Sancho, according to a report on MSNBC, filed suit in the Hawaii federal court last Friday. The men are worried about one of several planet-busting physicists' nightmares being unleashed in the LHC's bowels deep beneath the Franco-Swiss countryside. (According to Wagner's website, as of publication, the LHC is located "near Generva, Switzerland".)

Firstly Wagner is concerned that careless atom boffins might slip up and create a miniature black hole. This would then suck in surrounding mass, gaining unstoppably in size and power in a runaway process until it had engulfed the entire Earth and packed it down inside its swelling, unescapable event horizon.

Some physicists have theorised that black holes might act as spacewarp wormhole portals into alternate universes, or something. Summarising, it appears that the boffins at the LHC - should one of them clumsily spill his tea on the controls, for instance - could easily catapult the entire world through a rift in the very fabric of space-time, into another universe which could be entirely hostile to life as we know it. (Eg, essential processes such as fermentation of alcohol, TV, pizza delivery, gravity etc might simply not work; or there could be a parallel Earth ruled by an evil victorious Nazi empire with space battlecruisers and so forth.)

That would be bad: but even if the LHC guys manage to avoid it, there are other ways in which their meddling might destroy the world.

A particularly violent game of proton billiards, for instance, of the very sort the LHC's superpowered seven trillion electron-volt atomic cues are designed to play, might lead to all sorts of trouble. Quarks might get mixed up into "negatively-charged strangelets" which would turn everything else they touched into strangelets as well. The Earth, and then perhaps the entire universe, could be turned into a fearful strangelet soup; or perhaps custard.

A related worry is that overly vigorous particle-punishing tomfoolery at the LHC could produce "magnetic monopoles", which are dicey freaks of nature. Monopoles could trigger a runaway reaction not unlike the quark-strangelet scenario, in which everything gets changed into something else. This could lead to a turn-up for the books, in which the Moon remained made of moon but the Earth was abruptly converted into cheese.

Curiously, Wagner has claimed in the past that he has already personally discovered a magnetic monopole, though in that case it didn't destroy the Earth. Appearing last year on paranormal-matters talkshow Coast to Coast ("America's most fascinating overnight radio program") alongside a time-machine professor, Wagner gave a potted bio in which he says he "discovered a novel particle in a balloon-borne cosmic ray detector, initially identified as a magnetic monopole".

wormeholes and dark matter?

As we get closer to the grand opening of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, it seems the predictions as to what we might get from the high energy particle accelerator are becoming more complex and outlandish. Not only could the LHC generate enough energy to create particles that exist in other dimensions, it may also produce "unparticles", a possible source for dark matter. Now, the energy may be so focused that even the fabric of space-time may be pulled apart to create a wormhole, not to a different place, but a different time. Also, if there are any time travellers out there, we are most likely to see them in a few weeks…


correction update we could see them in a few hours....

A clarification
The countdown timer was set to the 15th of May because there was no definite time given for the actual activation, recent events show that CERN wont be dividing by zero until much later on in the year, so now the countdown timer will be reset again and will be continually tweaked to go by the latest info that CERN are releasing.

So sorry to disappoint you all, but you wont be dying tomorrow.


This was cut and pasted from the countdown site.

I would like to ask why Americans are so afraid of the launch of the LHC???

It is being discussed all over Europe but it is either excitement or disinterest being expressed NOT fear!!

We have had live TV debates between physicists and TV interviews with CERN.
There has been no conspiracy or fear expressed. Just details of the collider, procedure and details of the Higgs boson.

I said on another thread last night that my friend works at CERN and has done for 12 years. I have visited her 5 times in Geneva and visited CERN x 3..

I think people need to calm down and look forward to the launch of the LHC. It may or may not prove the Higgs Boson and if it doesn't it opens a whole new world of research and thinking for us.

Try to read alot less Dan Brown!!

I know but they don't expect all the doom and end of times scenerios that have been expressed here. Any problems they may have will be localised.
They don't even know if they will find anything when it has been turned on.
I listened to John Ellis (CERN) last night and they are even having arguements along the same office corridor in CERN.
If there was any remote risk of an end times scenerio when the LHC is launched there wouldn't be International nuclear/particle physicists and Dignatories visiting CERN for the launch :-)

Of course they do not "expect" doom, otherwise they would stop the procedure.

But neither did Einstein expect that his theories will be a basis for a nuclear bomb.


In the end it comes to the fact that they don't know what they are doing and that is the whole problem.

And when you are making an experiment where it is possible to create a mini universe you for sure can also make a mini black hole.

And do you know what a black hole can do?
