We're All Gonna Die

You mean the singularity would go \"inside\" the proton and not absorb it?

\"Molecule\"? Are you sure you konw what you\'re talking about? :)

Yes, it could not happen with two gold atoms that are just sitting around, but what if they\'re smashed together with an energy similar to the gravity well created by a massive star? That was the doomsayer\'s point.

Why would this one negatively charged particle eat the world? It would just combine with a Proton and go away.

#62 but how can a singularity have a finite volume like your\'e saying? Isn\'t a singularity a single point by definition?

Why does a black hole of mass 1M degenerate?

And that \"universe inside a black hole\" idea sounds cool, but think what kind of conditions would exist in such an area (surrounted by several close-by massive stars??), and if you moved to the edges of the \"bubble\", what would happen?

Put the blackhole in a another blackhole and see what happens! Maybe they eat eachother till they\'re both gone!!

hehe #49, that was funny...my dad is absolutely addicted to ebay...it\'s pathetic..o well...he did make enough money to by me a new computer, so it can\'t be all bad ;-)

A couple of comments:
1. All the ppl on this msg board not wanting to die virgins :)
2. MR NUTTY TYPES WITH CAPS LOCK ON FOR SOME REASON
3. Seems like lots of gamers are smarter than they let on
4. I realized I need to read Hawking\'s book in order to compete at a mental level at the shack, whats the title?

Bah..dammit..sorry...i meant # 42...i dunno wtf i was doing typing 45...

Well my idea is to do it..
and if it make a black hole.. oh well. shit happens....
but i dont know if a black hole the size of a pin head would do much damage (shift some stuff around. suckj the dumb sciencetist that made it.. suck in 1/2 of new york... (hopefully the mtv building hehe)
my chem teacher belives if we were to hit absolute zero (0kelvin) that all movement would cease... electrons would stop moving..
and with no momentum to hold them away from the nucles (sp) they would collapse into it self and start a black hole on the atomic level..
but i dont know...
hopefully what ever those freaking scientist do it wont take long to die...

#45 dammit...i\'m 15...and as far as i can tell any girl that i want to get w/ hates me =(...doh

#43 better be careful, or I\'ll have the Ernies drag you off to the inbreeding contests here in West Virginia!

#39....so go get laid quick dumbass.

I\'m curious, what effect would time dialation have on the observations and experiences of someone who got sucked to death (wouldn\'t be the first in Brooklyn (j/k)) by this experiment?

bah...how the hell much crack did these people freaking smoke?! ok, so yipee, we might be able to figure stuff about the big bang...at the risk of humanity!? sheesh...what the hell is wrong with them?? i don\'t want to die a fucking virgin!!

Ok, i\'m ignoring all the posts from the physicists and people that read too much.

I agree with everyone that said this shit is too scary. Maybe that\'s a naive approach, but chalk it up to human nature. I don\'t respond well to finding out that everything I like in this world is going to be destroyed because of someone else\'s arrogance, or curiousity.
Sure, the world is gonna end some day, and we\'re all gonna die, and blah blah blah. I don\'t care about that. Someday this world is gonna end on it\'s own and there will be nothing we can do to stop it.
This on the other hand, is very preventable. Sure, nobody knows what it will do or if it will do anything, but then why risk it? Do the benefits really outweigh the theoretical risk?
Perhaps one of the more adventureous of you could find time to put a bullet through this guys head. Thanks.

#22: yea, I read that book too :) Hey, if they go quoting Steven Hawking on one thing, they might as well quote this bit too.

#25: the reason particle pairs split up comes from the \"uncertainty principle\". This is a fact that says \"we cannot EVER measure exactly both the velocity and position of a particle\". From this comes the principle that we cannot ever measure exactly the temperature of a given area of space. Hence, even the tiniest volume of outer space cannot be empty, because it would violate this principle: emptyness = temperature 0, and temperature 0 is an exact number. So, it must be that in every little volume of space, there are tiny particles buzzing around. Most of these just spontaneously generate and then collide back into each other. And the rest... it\'s like #22 said.

I think some black holes grow in size though, I don\'t know what would happen if you had it in a dense area like earth. Maybe it would suck things in faster than it would evaporate? Who knows.

All I know is when the end of the world is close, I hope there\'s a hot chick next to me.

From the article:

Sagan believed that we could never find evidence
of life anywhere else in the universe because the pattern of
evolution has been the same everywhere: Life begins and
evolves through millions of years to the moment when it
destroys itself.

Far out man. That\'s cool.

#22 I never even thought about that, but your right. This is why we don\'t have any mini-black holes left over from the big bang (they all \"evaporated\" (that word is entirely wrong I know...but I heard someone use it to describe this...even though it\'s way off)). In that case then there is less cause for concern (probably).

p.s. It\'s possible this will lead to doomsday, it\'s also possible that an Alien race called Ernie will come down from the heavens and beat us all to death with suction cups while pleasuring themselves, but I doubt it will happen. And by the way, there is more chance (astronomically more) of the Ernie coming en masse, than there is that this experiment taking us all to Hell (but we can all wish right (j/k)).

Yea, they\'ll notice when the entire planet gets sucked into oblivion. Currently, Brooklyn just sucks.
