How many supernovas have there been in the surface of the Earth in the past few billion years?
The LHC is completely harmless, but that's a retarded comparison.

That comparison is a bit exaggerated, but it does disprove some of those "like OMGz, the entire universe will tear apart and God's wrath will be upon us" doomsayers.
Besides, most supernova explosions don't result in black holes anyway. The energies at our disposal is nowhere near enough to do anything. I'm going to bet they're just going to improve the standard model by another 3 decimal points, and they will discover nothing.
Yeah, wikipedia says they're not even doing any experiments tomorrow, just making particles go loop de loop around the track. No major collisions until 21 Oct.

I don't care either way what happens. There are positives for both events. See it this way, if it does goes wrong Iran and N. Korea will be destroyed.

I hope they do. So much fucking hysteria today where I am, especially by Christfags. "HOLY SHIT REVELATIONS IS HAPPENIN!!!1!!eleven!"

actually it is still going to end when they create a miniature black hole because there is no known way to destroy it so it will suck the whole earth, then the solar system into it
you guys obviously dont know much about quantum physics if you think hawkings radiation exists, it has been disproven and is not accepted by the scientific community. when the lhc opens its black holes they are not going to just disappear they will continue to grow and they will suck the whole earth into themselves

Last I heard, hawking radiation is sufficiently accepted that every new theory of everything must predict it in some manner (a pre experiment sanity check for whether the theory is worth spending time on). Either that or black hole entropy or something.

there is a possibility a black hole will be created. however from what i heard it will take so long to grow to the critical mass where it could destroy the earth, we will be long gone due to the death of the sun.
Time it takes for an LHC black hole to reach the mass where it could destroy the earth. 10 billion years.
Time it takes for the sun to die and ens all life on earth. 5 billion years

Shit... the world has ended, financial markets around the world are collapsing. All because of this hardon collider
