It just gets worse for CERN and its attempts to reassure us that the Large Hadron Collider won’t make mincemeat of the planet.

It’s beginning to look as if a massive miscalculation in the safety reckonings means that CERN scientists cannot offer any assurances about the work they’re doing.

In a truly frightening study, Toby Ord and pals at the University of Oxford say that “while the arguments for the safety of the LHC are commendable for their thoroughness, they are not infallible.”

The world's already ended. We're just in an universe where the world didn't end.

I bet these LHC scientists would also believe 0.999...=1

Large Hardon Collider? Waste of money.

Do nuclear decay rates depend on our distance from the sun?
Certainly: This has been documented.

[quote]Ord and co say that roughly one in a 1000 scientific papers have to be withdrawn because of errors. And errors are by no means unknown among particle physicists, even those doing safety calculations[/quote]

Absolutely underwhelming

No I wrote out the question correctly. OP don't add Calculus into your name next time if you can't solve advanced calc problems.

I will answer it now, unfortunately there is so Latex/Jsmath, so I will do it with my EXPERT BBCODE skills.

Q) Given a vector valued function: F(x,y,z) = x²zi+y²xj+(y+2z)k

A)



∇ × F = |  i    j    k   |

        |  [i]d[/i]    [i]d[/i]    [i]d[/i]   |

        |  [i]d[/i]x   [i]d[/i]y   [i]d[/i]z  |

        |  x²z  y²x  y+2t|



        = i + x²j + y²k
