Comments on: Brian Cox: The Large Hadron Collider… http://www.jaredturner.org/brian-cox-the-large-hadron-collider/ learning interesting stuff everyday...

All very interesting stuff. I Don't know how I feel about it. I think I understand both sides of the story. Curiosity could kill the cat, but then you wont know unless you try... Do we have the right to do this any more than we did to split the atom? When we split the atom which was the smallest known thing at the time, we could have also said that the world could have ended. At the same time I know this is the closest we have ever been to doing an experiment that could potentially end the earth in ways that are likely inescapable. I have read the blog of JTankers.

The contest will conclude in a vote by site visitors on all reasonable proofs received, all proofs will be published and the contest will end not sooner than May 20th. (LHCConcerns will make the final call on best proposal that reasonably proves 5% or lower risk from micro black holes being created by the Large Hadron Collider). You may prove that ANY ONE of the following or provide any other reasonable Proof or method to prevent Micro Black Holes from being created by the Large Hadron Collider or prove that they are harmless! 1. The Large Hadron Collider will not make micro black holes. 2. Micro black holes created will be sent safely into space. 3. Micro black holes will evaporate. 4. Micro black holes will take more than [500 million] years to accrete the Earth. (Very Generous, but if you can only prove a lesser time frame, then the prize will be reduced proportionately...) 5. Any form of cosmic ray argument that proves 5% risk or lower. 6. Find a way to make the Large Hadron Collider safe from creating micro black holes (we already requested different speed collissions or different mass collisions, LSAG told us it was not possible, they already thought of it). It is harder than it looks, the LHC Safety Assessment Group (LSAG) could not produce a safety report... (CERN and LSAG are still using the 1999 RHIC safety report that does not even address what might happen if micro black holes were created, because they did not know that it was possible at that time. We are also being extremely generous on the 500 million years, since life on Earth might be possible for billions of years.)
