[Rhodes22-list] LHC Large Hadron Collider Projects

[Chris Geankoplis]

Very cool!  So can you train them to go get certain people? Hmmm?

>   Concerns have been raised about the safety of the LHC on the grounds
that high-energy particle collisions performed in the collider might cause
disastrous events, including the production of stable micro black holes
(mBHs) and strangelets.[9][10] Several CERN-commissioned
reports[11][12][13][14][15] and subsequently published research
papers[16][17] have corroborated the safety of the LHC particle collisions.
One research paper published on August 10, 2008 reaches the opposite
conclusion, stating that "at the present stage of knowledge there is a
definite risk from mBHs production at colliders." This researcher also
suggests several steps that might reduce this risk.[18]

Just think, a planet swallowing black hole with your name on it!!
