Particle accelerators and black holes!!

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

Particle accelerators and black holes!!

Post by Ion01 » Mon Jun 30, 2008 6:45 am

MEYRIN, Switzerland (June 29) - The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August.

But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth? Or spit out particles that could turn the planet into a hot dead clump?

On another note:
A university professor who spent £5,000 trying to clear his wife of a £60 speeding fine has been ordered by the courts to pay £15,000.

Like most puppies, scientist like to and are really good at digging holes :D
But where are our "natural philosophers", to teach them to take a perspective and grow up :?:
First, God decided he was lonely. Then it got out of hand. Now we have this mess called life...
The past is out of date. Start living your future. Align with your dreams. Now execute.
