re: CERN scientists may have set new man-made heat record: 9.9 trillion degrees Fahrenheit

My fave CERN notation:

many observers could not help but notice that the town in France where CERN is partially situated is called “Saint-Genus-Poilly.” The name Pouilly comes from the Latin “Appolliacum” and it is believed that in Roman times a temple existed in honor of Apollo

Religious leaders – always suspicious of the aims of the scientific world - drew a connection to a verse straight out of Revelations (9:1-2, 11), which makes reference to the name ‘Apollyon.’ The verse states: “To him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit… And they had a kind over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”

Apollyon = Abaddon (Destroyer) = Shiva (Destroyer)

But i read somewhere that the heat from a drop of 10M deg sun plasma would be felt 100 miles away.

The sun's core is about 150 gm/cm^3 (150 times as dense as water) and a drop is 50 microliters. So, that drop has a mass of 7.5 grams and at that temperature has a large amount of heat to give off to its surroundings (i.e.: YOU). The TOTAL material in the collider is 0.00000000047 grams and only a tiny fraction of THAT is ever at these ultra high temperatures for the most fleeting moments of a second before it rapidly gives off its tiny amount of heat to its surroundings and cools. There just isn't enough heat to do anything more than damage the collider itself if the magnetic containment fails and the high temperature (NOT "hot") material directly contacts the collider.

The amount of matter we're talking about is so tiny that it can't really do much of anything other than maybe cause some damage to the collider. Further, the science is unfathomable to most humans. Some fear of it out of ignorance.

This article is from 2012?

I want to know the credentials of the guy who checked the calibration on the thermometer.
