Lawsuit filed to stop CERN sucking us all into an alternate universe
March 31, 2008 by Mark O'Neill |By Mark O’Neill
The Trekkies among us will know all about alternate universes - alternate worlds with different versions of ourselves. So while I’m sitting here writing this, there could be another version of me out there ruling the earth fighting Flash Gordon. Or another version of me out there as a filthy rich porn star living in a mansion.
While browsing my RSS feeds this morning, I discovered that CERN has developed the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) , which is an atom smasher, and apparently an unhappy botanist is suing to have the start of the LHC delayed. Why? Because he thinks that the people controlling the LHC will screw up, create a minature black hole and suck everything into an alternate universe.
It seems that the LHC overall is a rather controversial project with many safety concerns. But what do you think? Do you think the LHC is too risky and must be stopped? Or do you think that in order to find out more about the world, risks have to be taken?
If you’re interested to find out more, here’s something I found on YouTube about the LHC. Parts two and three can be found on YouTube itself if you want to continue watching.

Safety of this project should be reviewed or our Universe may be gone. Sucked up into a black hole actually.
CERN LHC will be in production mode on the 21. of May 2008
What I like to know from CERN is the Earth in danger if Hawking Radiation proves to be in error again, not evaporating micro black holes so they wont grow?
Stephen Hawking is only famous because his original theory which was in error for over 30 years made him famous, so are we to trust his new theory of the same name now?
The CERN site as well as their site for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) wont even state the Hawking Radiation theory since it has been proven to be in error, but states a process by Stephen Hawking, the man who made the error, will keep earth safe.
All this can be Google.
To CERN supporters, I know this will get under your skin. Please counter this comment with intelligent comments.
School us, and not just spout CERN’s rhetoric with colorful insults, minus anything to prove they’re right.
Save the swiftboating for BushCo.
This system is not ready. The new safety report has not been released. The old reports don’t prove safety anymore.
They are from 1999.

But due to political and military pressure, the CERN has absolutely to keep the 21. May and specially the July deadline.
The new safety report has not yet been delivered - but was promised, all the warm up tests have been cancelled.
Running such a thing as the CERN requires lots of money and the customers are waiting.
You COULD NOT BELIEVE how much the possible inventions out of this are important for the interestes of the army.
Please, just read. Don’t at all feel pressured to act. You are your own judge.

Remember that black holes are only as strong as the mass they contain. Mini ones made from several sub-atomic particles will be incredibly weak. There is a reason why the only people who are worried about this aren’t physicists. The question was asked by physicists before the LHC was built, and the answer was found to be a conclusive no. Unfortunately, a lot of people have yet to get their facts straight.

I must disagree with this, Alex.
I have found quite a lot of scientists who disapprove with the small black hole / no danger hypothesis.
The lawsuit which was placed in March at the district judge in Honolulu explains quite well the main issues (see http://www.notepad.ch/blogs/index.php/legal/).
If you have a look at the articles in my blog - you will see for yourself.
