People in New York are trying to remake the Big Bang?

Question

I heard Some scientists were trying to remake the big bang(a huge energy blast), but it was called off because it could make a black hole here on earth. Is this true?

Remember I heard it somewhere

Answer 1

"It's the stuff that science fiction is made of, one of the most ambitious science projects of all time, and is possibly also the most expensive. However, with this experiment, scientists may just finally achieve the Holy Grail of physics: The God particle.

At the Cern particle physics lab in Switzerland, more than 600 physicists are working on the Large Hadron Collider, a machine that they hope will finally reveal details on how the universe began. The Collider will be large enough to house the nave of Westminster Abbey and will be monitored by computers that were built to easily handle information and data that is the equivalent of 150 times of what's on the internet each year.

As side-effects of the machine, "dark energy" which is believed to drive the expansion of the universe, may be revealed. On top of this, as some scientists think that the universe is composed of various dimensions, the machine may momentarily create wedges to other dimensions from which enormous amounts of gravity can seep through. This influx of gravity may then result in the creation of baby black holes.

And all this just so they could hunt down the so-called God particle which is properly known as the Higgs boson particle, which is supposed to make other particles heavier by clinging to them, thus later on resulting into mass, and in turn answering the question of why objects have mass in the first place. "It's probably the closest to God that we'll get," says Cern's chief scientist, Jos Engelen."

another source:

Particle accelerators are designed to collide particles together at incredible energies to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang. Matter and energy are indistinguishable in the explosion and obey laws that do not come into play in our everyday universe.



Accelerators use tunnels kilometres long to generate extreme particle speeds
But what if something went wrong and scientists inadvertently made a black hole that sank into the Earth, taking up residence at its core?

It would eat away at our planet, devouring it from the inside at an ever-increasing rate. Within an hour, the Earth would be gone replaced by a hole in space and time.

Answer 2

Huh? You can't "make a black hole on earth" ! This is absurd ! Try going to the library and taking out a book or two on astronomy. And make sure it was published after the year 2000.

Answer 3

No, that not what happened. Read the article "The Big Bang Machine" by Tim Folger in this month's (February 2007) "Discovery" magazine. The article is better than anything I could say here.

Answer 4

we don't have the kind of awesome power to create the superpacked, superheated energy of a billionth of the Big Bang

Answer 5

If such an idiotic thing should ever happen, I hope hillery is right there to be disintegrated right along with NYCs mayor.

Answer 6

There are black holes. I loose at least one sock in it every week.

Answer 7

I heard they were doing it in Europe. but that was a while ago.

Answer 8

DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART?

YES IT IS TRUE BUT IT WOULD JUST SUCK IN ALL THE MATTER AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IT HAPPENED
