What are your thoughts? I hope us West coast folk get more of a normal winter like we did 10 years a go! W00T

Edit: I’d like to add this prediction as well: http://www.weatherdiscussions.com/forums/index.php?s=d30dd65a18707bc76a62d5af7f71eff9&showtopic=3504&pid=31748&st=0&#e;ntry31748;

I think things are changing rapidly as far as the weather is concerned. I’m in the UK and we are currently experiencing a lot of rain, which is par for the course, but I’ve noticed over the last five years or so we’ve been getting progressively worse floods, which seem to claim more lives.

My brother in law lives over in Toronto, hope hes got his thermal socks ready.

I think we need to accept all this weather for what it is. Armageddon.

PS only kidding.

Who cares about a tough winter the world will vanish tomorrow or if it isn’t tomorrow than the 21st of december :coolsmile:

Ya this is pretty freaky.

There trying recreate the big bang, :ahhh:  Today! somewhere in switzerland.

People don’t have enough power to create a black hole significant enough to do damage. Black holes in space are a result of collapsing stars. I believe i read somewhere the sun has 97 % of all the mass in solar system so how are we humans going to create a powersource to make a significant black hole.

The experiments they are going to do is on atom particles. They can’t even see this with the strongest microscopes that’s why they need measuring sensors to record the behaviour of the particles.

I was kidding about it and also about the end of the mayan calendar.

If they create a microscopic black hole, it will probably destroy itself by emitting Hawking Radiation, unless they bombard it with enough energy/mass to compensate for the energy loss.

if ($this->hawking->radiation == FALSE)
  {
  $this->blackhole->consume($earth);
  exit;
  }

check this out…

Otto E. Rössler, Professor of Theoretical Physics says the chance that black holes are created is 50% and that the created black holes might not destroy themselves (Hawking Radiation is not proven) but exponentially gain power and eventually destroy the whole planet. Most people say this is a lot of crap but a lot of people are scared.
I don’t think it will happen but in any case I’ll be one of the first to know since I live and work pretty close to the CERN in Switzerland. I’ll give you a warning when I see the black hole 😉

What’s with the Mayan calendar?

The long count of the mayan calendar ends the 21st of December 2012, so we have few years left my mistake. Because the Mayans didn’t calculate the calendar further there are people who think the world will end because every end of the long count calendar was accompanied with a significant change.

Maybe their calendar calculators were just bored calculating, or they foresaw the computers and thought the machines will calculate further for them 😊

Okay if they did make a small blackhole, still the earth moves. Black Holes don’t move right? So the black hole would be in same spot, and the earth would pass threw it.  So as you can imagine if so it would cause   damage and destruction on its pass threw. It would literally be passing threw solid objects, (the ground, buildings etc.) destroying everything its path until the earth finally get far away enough from it..  😛

Phew, I thought you were talking of 21st December 2008 - glad to hear we have some more years!

Maybe it’s the release of EE 2.0? 😉

That’s a good one! I really like this explanation.

Black Holes don’t move right?

I think they do but I’m really not an expert on black holes…

Some of the scientists at CERN said that even if microscopic black holes would be created, they would fly off right through the earth with the speed of light and vanish in space.

Umm, have you forgotten everything about relativity?

EVERYTHING moves, even black holes. (it just depends on the state of the observer if he determines that the object moves or not)

Black holes move, just like any other body with mass. Except that if the LHC produces a black hole, it will be so small that it will consume such a small amount every year that the sun would flicker and die before it ate all of Earth, that is assuming that a black hole can even be that small without evaporating. The black hole would fall to the center of the earth and eventually just hang out there eating the core a little bit at a time.

By the time it’s an issue, we’ll either be transcendent beings of looping energy contained within magnetic klein bottles, or we’ll have killed ourselves with genetically-tailored viruses, nanites, or nuclear weapons. On the list of things that are out to get us, manmade black holes are pretty far down the list. To get an idea of how likely most scientists think this eventuality is, one of them said that there’s a greater chance of an extinction-of-all-life-sized asteroid hitting the earth in the next five minutes as there is that the LHC will make black holes in the whole span of its lifetime.

Not to belabor this point any further, the LHC is designed to do one thing: Create artificial cosmic rays. The things that will be flying around the LHC will be the same thing that bombard the earth and everything else in great quantity, and there are no rogue black holes flying around consuming the universe as a result. The only difference is that these will be controlled and collided against each other in an environment where they can be observed, rather than out in the cosmos.

How did my thread turn in to a discussion about LHC!? 😛

sorry my bad 😊
