Catastrophic Curiosity?

If it happens, Mankind will be the last to know about it.

GA...

Yes, GA!

If it was that easy to annihilate a solar system, there would be much less stars around us. There are billions of very energetic incidents happening daily in the universe and it is still there.

Someone is watching too much Lexx.

isn't the primary purpose of the LHC to "create some heretofore unknown particle"?

From what I understand, cosmic ray particles from outer space hit the earths atmosphere every day that have more energy than that generated in the LHC, and we're still here.

We just think we are here.

That would be an illusion brought on by lack of alcohol.

Which brings up my tag line...

In the words of Robin Williams (though perhaps not his, originally):

Reality...What a Concept!

This post is just noise designed to shock. Where does the vibration fit in?

In the same place as transposed Hadron might?

There is an ancient story in India runs like this...

Three learned students were moving in forest. They saw dry bones of a dead tiger. Two of them got an idea to experiment the knowledge which they had received from their Guru (Spiritual Master) to re-install life on dead. Third student did not agree with that idea, foreseeing that what will happen ones tiger regains life. But as other two were head strong on experimenting, he climbed over a big tree. After experiment, dead tiger regained life and killed those two students.

So the moral of this story is, "If you're going to resurrect a tiger, climb over a tree first"?

Confusion reigns here.

No, the morale of the story is to weigh the consequences of the outcome of new experiment before trying for the first time. it is in reply to

"Some argue that scientists might inadvertently create some heretofore unknown particle that might create a black hole that could gobble up all matter or spawn a catastrophic antimatter reaction. Perhaps this is how the last Big Bang started, with a curious advanced civilization trying to discover its origin."

As you might actually be worried by these two nutters - ask yourself what is the maximum amount of 'anti-matter' one could make by 'inverting' a gram of matter?

Now; how many grams of (positive) matter would be required to 'balance' the anti-matter?

Oddly the logic says 'unity' (but probably less)

So for the world to suddenly get 'inverted' - you need another worlds worth to stick in the collider.

It's not that big.

So; if you did manage to make some 'dire outcome' at particle level mass, how much of the billion ton collider might be 'consumed' to neutralise it?
