Il le parte quand déja? (les vrais expériences, je sais qu'ils l'ont partie, mais pas commencer vraiment).
Et est-ce que quelqu'un peut me vulgariser qu'est-ce qui vont faire exactement... j'ai u 3 réponses différente jusqu'a maintenant... et les articles que j'ai trouvée était d'un niveau un peu dépasser mes connaissance de base de physique... Je sais qu'ils veulent recréer les conditions du Big Bang pour comprendre la création de l'univers, mais comment exactement. Qu'est-ce qui va circuler dans le "beigne" pour re-créer sa? | |

tiny particles/molecules are what they're going to have flying at each other and colliding | |

And that is what could create a black hole?
I so should have listen better in school :( argh! And are they or are they not TRYING to do a black hole? (this is a little confusing depending to whom you talk too....) | |

It's been pretty much agreed on by real, reputable scientists (like Stephen Hawkins) that *IF* a _microscopic_ black hole is created, it will 'live' a few nanoseconds before dying, as it won't be large enough to generate the energy it needs to support itself.
Pretty much the 'paranoia' that the thing is going to end the world is coming from scientists who were too stupid to get accepted into CERN, and being believed by stupid and religious people who don't know how to research or who don't believe in the big bang. | |

excerpt from an article here: [ blog.wired.com ]
Q: WTF is a Large Hadron Collider? A: Hadrons are the parent family for protons and neutrons. The collider will smash protons together to see what they're made of. Q: What are ATLAS and CMS and all these other acronyms? A: They are particle detectors. ATLAS and CMS are the big ones. Each detector is designed to carry out a set of experiments. Q: How does the Large Hadron Collider work? A: It smashes particles moving at near the speed of light together. Then, detectors look for very rare particles in the wreckage. Q: Is smashing things together to look for progressively smaller and rarer particles really how particle physics is done? A: More or less: yes. Theoretical physicists work out the math. The experiments get run to see whose math matches the world. Q: Gimme the stats on the Collider? Factoid stats. A: 17 miles around. 9,000 magnets. 7,000 scientists. $10 billion. Operating temp: -456.25 F. Power used: 120 MW. Network: 1.8+Gb/s. Q: Who paid for the Large Hadron Collider? A: You did! But not nearly as much as your European cousins. The US contribution stands at $531 million. Total cost: $10 billion. Q: How does a particle detector work? A: They work like digital cameras with 150 megapixels taking snapshots 600 million times a second! Then algorithms look for interesting stuff. Q: Is there an end 'product/goal' that the average Joe will eventually see from these experiments? ie:teleportation? A: Not directly, but confirmation that physicists understand the universe would be nice. And you never know. The engineering can lead to other things. Q: When you smash particles at nearly the speed of light isn't that going to release a lot of energy? A: Yes. The highest-energy collisions will reach 14 trillion electron volts. Q: How many particles are actually colliding? A: Hacked Wikipedia: The beam pipes contain 1.0×10-9 grams of hydrogen, which would fill the volume of one grain of fine sand. Q: Is the Large Hadron Collider a threat to human civilization and the existence of the Earth? A: No. Einstein's relativity says it's impossible. And, just in case, studies of highly-energetic cosmic rays hitting earth rule it out, too. | |

See the LCH scare as the same kind of scare humans have always had vs science.
Same deal happened before the first nuclear tests... | |

well, we could have! Some freak meteor could have ripped it's way through from an alternate dimension and slammed into the earth!
It's really about as likely as the LHC ending all life as we know it.. I think the statistics are that you've got more of a chance to spontaneously combust that there is a chance for the LHC to cause something that will destroy the world. | |

more chance to win the lottery trice in a row! Update » JojoBizarre wrote on Fri Sep 12, 2008 @ 9:04am BHOPAL, India (Reuters) - A teenage girl in Madhya Pradesh killed herself on Wednesday after being traumatised by media reports that a "Big Bang" experiment in Europe could bring about the end of the world, her father said.
The 16-year old girl from Madhya Pradesh drank pesticide and was rushed to the hospital but later died, police said. Her father, identified on local television as Biharilal, said that his daughter, Chayya, killed herself after watching doomsday predictions made on Indian news programmes. "In the past two days, Chayya had asked me and other relatives about the world coming to an end on Sept. 10," Biharilal was quoted as saying. "We tried to divert her attention and told her she should not worry about such things, but to no avail," he said. For the past two days, many Indian news channels held discussions airing doomsday predictions over a huge particle-smashing machine buried under the Swiss-French border. The machine, called the Large Hadron Collider, was switched on on Wednesday, at the start of what experts say is the largest scientific experiment in human history. The machine smashes particles together to achieve, on a small-scale, re-enactments of the "Big Bang" that created the universe. Leading scientists and researchers at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, said the experiment was safe. They dismissed as "pure fiction" doomsday predictions that the experiment could create anti-matter, or black holes | |
