WutangFlu Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 i also read somewhere that they are making another one close to 50km in length.. personally, getting sucked into a black hole would be sweet... that would be a cool way to die.. Pity dieing itself isnt a cool activity, so there is no cool way to die... gotta die sometime, why not die in a spectacular way, like getting hit my a meteor, watching the world end, or get sucked into a black hole? hmmm?Because endless darkness is scary :ohnoes: . Not really... i enjoy it, thats why i basically live in my basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of theories on black holes, some say that time around the black hole would slow down compared to the time if you were not near the black hole. (don't explain it very well... basically it's like that SG-1 episode forgot which) In theory, you could actually die of old age before you got "sucked" into the black hole, and the world around could have passed for 100 years or something if you spend only a month near a black hole.

Seriously, I can't understand how shallow minded you are that you would take people less seriously or look at them as any different just because they have a different opinion to you.

Mercifull Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 While its true that all-out nuclear war sometimes destroys all life on planets as advanced as Earth, it is much more common for such planets to be obliterated by physicists attempting to determine the mass of the Higgs boson. ^_^ (Lexx season final̮̩̉̉) Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Duke_Freedom Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The "risk calculation" is a good example of pure random guessing and then saying that the number actually represents something. Ah well, humanity will destroy itself sooner or later anyway. The value of my bank at its height.

warri0r45 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Atheism is going to destroy the world Science does not equal Atheism. They are completely different things. The "risk calculation" is a good example of pure random guessing and then saying that the number actually represents something. Do you even know how they came up with that risk? I don't but I know it's not just a guess as you suggest. Risk calculations are done by statisticians for a plethora of things so I don't think it's wise to just label them as guesses.

Satenza Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 They are just guesses. If they knew an exact figure they would put one. It's a guess, maybe an educated one but a guess nevertheless. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me quote the part of his post which I argued against. pure random guessing By that logic I could pull any random guess for anything and label it as science, which is wrong. * The risk is calculated at about 10 to the minus 40 - a 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance. I'm not saying this figure is accurate, I'm just arguing it isn't a 'pure random guess.' Why would I say that? The word calculated, of course. Again, they don't just pull these figures out of thier [places where the sun don't shine]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompey_spud Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Now this IS interesting. About a month or two ago, I watched a documentary on how the world would cope in amazingly bad disasters. It had things like a meteor hitting Berlin, and a plague hitting London. The last, and worst thing they covered was a particle accelerator thingy, which was the exact same thing mentioned in the article, with the same goals, etc, (except it was in America) There was this possibility of creating these things called 'strangelets', and i'll try and dig up some more information on them. In short, they turned on the particle accelerator thingy, made one of these 'strangelets' (at immensely low odds i might add, a figure similar to the one quoted in the article), and destroyed the Earth. Yay. edit - just found the wiki entry for the documentary...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Apparently if it does happen it would only recreate what ultra-high-cosmic energy rays have been doing for aeons around us. So doesn't seem all too dangerous. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life.

Mercifull Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Atheism is going to destroy the worldThe only way atheism specifically would destroy the world is that if there really IS a god and whatever deity is the right one decides to smite everyone for being non-belivers.

Tigra00 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 10^-40 is a really scientific way of saying "Hey, it's never going to happen, but since we can never be 100% sure about anything, we'll give you some random huge number and call it a day." I highly doubt they sat in a room calculating ACTUAL risk. If they found even a shred of actual risk to Earth, they would have said forget it. Fun fact: There is also a slight chance that if you were to look at a solid bronze statue for a second, all of it's atoms could move together in unison and the statue would actually wave at you. The chance of it happening is so low, however, that you could have started writing zero's 13.5 billion years ago and still not be done. In other words, it's never going to happen, but according to physics, it is possible. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

I see you have a lot to learn about politics and statistics yet. :D Oh I'm sure that they think that the chance is rather small, just as I'm sure that they can't give an actual estimate for how small it really is, considering they have no clue what may happen at all.

Barihawk Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 They've already created mini-black holes in labs and stuff and they evaporated. Though, there is a chance they floated to the center of the Earth and are currently munching up matter; getting bigger. But we won't know for thousands of years, so...Screw it! Throw the switch and bring on the Star Trek! Star Trek's given us enough... Cell phones, laptops, portable scanners, medical technology out the yin-yang, more modern space travel, inspiration for holographic technology, laser research, etc. The next Trek device to be invented will be the cloaking device (less than 20 years, in fact). Warp travel is full theorized but lacks power output (it's going to take a while before anti-matter research kicks out enough to supply even a tiny warp jump). But I really doubt CERN is going to destroy the world. Maybe Europe, but not the whole world :P. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death_By_Pod Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The life time of a black hole is proportional to its mass. This would mean that heavy black holes live for an extremely long time and black holes made in a particle accelerator would evaporate almost instantaneously. Basically the chance of a black hole destroying the Earth in this manner is 0%. Even if the black hole did suck up the Earth, it's gravity would be exactly the same; the moon will still orbit the black hole-Earth and in turn orbits around the sun. All a black hole really does is compact matter to a tiny size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
