We're All Going To Die....Soon...Maybe

The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect - or even create - miniature black holes.
If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.
It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.
The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.
But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.
Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ - a key building block of the universe - and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ - a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.
But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.
Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.
“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.
"Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.
"This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.
“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.
“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.
“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity's rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].
“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity's rainbow and extra dimensions are correct."
When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts
So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.
But the latest study says this is too low.
Instead, the model predicts that black holes may form at energy levels of at least 9.5 TeV in six dimensions and 11.9 TeV in 10 dimensions.

so what you are saying I should get drunk tonight?
i was looking for a reason to get drunk tonight.

Get drunk and wire me your money, you won't need it anyway

Don't worry. Our future people are going to stop it.

There's currently.a short circuit at CERN. You can send me your money though if you think you won't need it.

If it requires the faulty magnet to be warmed up and re-cooled, the delay may stretch from a few days to "several weeks", the organisation announced on Tuesday.

I had someone at work once trying to convince me that the world was going to end heading into the December 2012 freak out. This was in around June of 2012. I stopped her and offered her $5,000 for her house and told her she could even keep living in it until January 1, 2013. That way she'd have an extra $5,000 to play with before the end of the world.
She wouldn't go for it and didn't see the hypocrisy of not taking such a great deal.

I have no idea what any of that means

Scientist are trying to create a black hole to look into multiple dimensions because they believe gravity can leak into multiple dimensions. This can be huge for science and the human race or it can destroy everyone although it's highly unlikely as the black holes being created will disappear in seconds

We will all be fine. There are black holes larger than our solar system floating out there and the universe is still intact.
These will be so small you cant see them.

So says you. I can't see the big ones either. I'm gong to pray now.

Sounds like a great idea.

Imagine this, your job is to literally spew out words, pretend they are factual and make sense, while also somehow benefiting mankind, and you get paid millions.
That's what these guys do.
Please explain to me what huggy bison has done to help us all out since he was discovered. MATTER OF FACT, I THINK HE'S THE REASON FOR ALL THESE RACIAL TENSIONS! THANKS HUGGY!

This is the same story reprinted every time a particle accelerator goes just a little faster...

Is this a Rapture thread?
