Collider may provide proof for string theory of physics

eeWhat will happen if we are able toidentify the missing energies..and it may prove the existence of other dimensions.But what can be concluded from it..??

Nice job, Joe Bauman.

To Anonymous:

What can be concluded by it is that if other dimensions do indeed exist, is that it will broaden our knowledge and lead us in a new direction to gain even further knowledge. Maybe we will someday be able to see and or/experience these other dimensions and learn how they affect us and our physical environment. The possibilities of what we may learn are endless.

Science won't ever explain everything there is to know, but these breakthroughs lead us on a quest for further enlightenment.

More specifically, increased understanding of the nature of matter and space time may lead us towards new energy systems that wont destroy our world through C emissions. Look at what we have already done with the small amount of knowledge we currently have.

Besides which think of all of the new questions that can be asked!!

When do they fire this collider up? I am looking forward to it (in more ways than three!)

I am pretty sure that if this accelerator is basically finished, but I may be confusing it with another accelerator. I know a person whose job is to predict the outcome of these collisions (and the ones at Hadron are one of his jobs) , and I have always been interested in string theory myself. Yet, I am pretty sure that the Hadron accelerator will be launched this year, since I am sure that the accelerator is also called Cern if I am not mistaken...

CERN is the name of the laboratory, they're having open day on sunday and I'm going!!
This is all terribly important because once we can fully understand reality (is that really possible or just another Uncertainty Principle?) then we can manipulate it, i.e. create Universes and become trully 'gods', and maybe it will only take a few thousand years!!

I believe that the LHC will likely prove string theory correct and likely help to discover very many surprises. However, the knowledge will be of little value if we do not long live to benefit. Remember the cat who was too curious and in too much of a hurry?

CERNs web site states that we have not been destroyed by effects of cosmic rays and micro black holes will evaporate.

However, cosmic rays strike relatively stationary objects and results travel too fast to be captured by Earths gravity, while colliders smash particles head on, may focus all energy to a single point and can be captured by Earths gravity. Einsteins relativity theory predicts that micro black holes will not decay but instead only grow, and Hawking Radiation contradicts relativity, is unproven and is disputed by at least 3 peer reviewed studies that find no basis in science to support it.

The LHC Safety Assessment Group has been trying for months to prove safety without success. However science may still be a few years away from being able to prove safety or not.

Professor Dr. Otto E. R�ssler (winner University of Li�ge Chaos Award and Ren� Descartes Award), Dr. Raj Baldev (Director of the Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research) and others are warning of a very real, very possible, very present danger to the planet from the Large Hadron Collider. Dr. R�ssler predicts that a single microblackhole could destroy the planet in as little and 50 months. His calculations have been released for peer review.

If this experiment is so safe, why arent CERN scientists allowed to express any personal fears they might have about this Collider?

Alleged in the legal action: Chief Scientific Officer, Mr. Engelen passed an internal memorandum to workers at CERN, asking them, regardless of personal opinion, to affirm in all interviews that there were no risks involved in the experiments, changing the previous assertion of minimal risk. (Statisticians generally consider minimal risk as 1-10%).
