Black hole doom for all on the 10th September?

[shaithis]

I think it's really sad that the general public have picked up on the "end of the world" aspect rather than the science. although atleast the media has put out some reasonably good articles about this project. I like this site that gives you the important info. http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/

Well, end of the world is a pretty big deal, hence people do tend to worry about such a thing when confronted with something that the vast majority of the human population do not understand in the slightest..........especially when we are trying to learn something from this "experiment", which goes to show that there are unknowns in play here.

When you consider how many scientists over the years have been killed by their experiments, you realise that humans have a proven track record for meddling in things they do not quite understand......and there are sometimes serious consequences to their actions..........and this experiment is on an entirely new scale.

My keys have gone, maybe a micro black hole opened up and swallowed them.

[chuckskull]

All my moneys gone. I blame the LHC.

How strange. I just found loads of money and some keys lying on my desk.

Me too! it must be a negative reality inversion..

Guys, is it normal to see a black spot hovering in my room sucking everything in?

Might be the end of a Dyson

Erm, no...it should be falling towards the ground at around 9.81 meters per second. I'd get that checked out if I were you.

9.8 m/s^2

My apologies. Accelerating towards the earth's centre of gravity at 9.81 meters per second per second. And that's assuming that the black hole hasn't, as yet, attained sufficient mass to rival the earth's.

thankgod, hexus is still here.

i woke up well late today, i blame the LHC.

I he can see the damn thing, then it probably already has. A black hole the mass of the Earth would have a diameter of about 1.5cm... So it'd be about the size of a hazelnut.

If black holes even exist...

If black holes even exist...

Black holes have been somewhat proven. Stars have been seen to be distorted in a fashion that might suggest that a black hole passed in front of them.

Also, everything in galaxies are being slowly pulled towards the center. This has been speculated to be due to supermassive black holes.

Yet, the fact remains, that all this ZOMG ITS THE END OF THE WORLD nonsense, is merely a byproduct of human ignorance and fear of what they can't even begin to grasp, rather than go learn about what they hear about, they spout baseless drivel.

Oh, and I woke up this morning, what gives?.. I thought we were all suppose to die!

Precisely. Humans did not know what would happen when we first discovered plutonium, and I bet a few scientists/people died trying to find out.
