They’re going to create a black hole that will swallow all of humanity if they’re not careful.

Nah, even if they did create a black hole, it would almost instantly evaporate.

There would be no earth ending slurp, but there would be a Nobel prize.

That would be a pretty solid sear on my BGE.

What part of I’m high as giraffe pussy don’t you get? I ain’t searching shite.

Now, if you wanna link a video I’ll smoke a bowl and watch said video. But I ain’t looking up shite. Too damn lazy

I don’t like it. Too weird.

I loved that movie

Its incredibly hot in an incredibly small space, plus magnets.

Now that is man made global warming

Anything over 1 trill seems like it would burn the frick out of its container.

People that frick with shite like that might accidentally melt the planet.

The beams contain a tiny amount of material. It's like 0.00000000047 grams of material that's in the accelerator at one time. Even if each one is trillions of degrees, there's very little HEAT contained in that little mass, and not all of the mass in the beam is going to be that hot, just the particles that are smashing together, so out of that unbelievably tiny total mass of material in the accelerator, a tiny fraction of that is involved in a collision at any one moment.

A good way to think of it is to look at a match that just went out. The head of the match is at a high enough temperature that it glows and this temperature is well above the boiling point of water. However, if you throw the match into a glass of water right as it stops burning but is still glowing, nothing happens. It's because even though the match head had a high temperature, it's so small that it doesn't contain much mass and actual heat and the water just cools it down instead of the glowing match head violently vaporizing the whole glass of water.

Same idea here. Unfathomably high temperatures, but tiny amount of matter, so tiny amounts of actual heat compared to the ginormous collider and its detectors around it... and Switzerland and France that are around that.
