What Does It Mean When A Irl Says Shes The Guy
Experiment CERN - LHC
a high probability that not destroy the world
This is the theme that accompanies us in the new era slowly towards a world that no longer tolerates.
today and the next day, at CERN in Geneva is being held the most advanced and most expensive experiment in the history of science. An experiment that should tell us something more than the universe and the origin of matter.
Three thousand scientists are working to years 170m underground to building the largest particle accelerator in the world. 3.2 billion euro cost for a tunnel 84km in length and 27 diameter half in Switzerland and half in France.
It's called the LHC, Large Hadron Collider - Large Hadron Collider
The experiment consists in accelerating in the ring at near the speed of light, two beams of subatomic particles (hadrons, in fact) in opposite directions until they collide, recreating conditions similar to those of the very first moments after the big bang. The energy released in these collisions (according to Einstein) to become mass. It is precisely the particles that will create what the scientists seek. First of all the famous Higgs boson, an elementary particle ever observed, only theorized, so that it called "God particle." Their observation would advance the most advanced theories regarding the creation of the universe and matter.
Even Google takes page LHC
In the course of history have been thousands of scientific experiments and discoveries from many more revolutionary than this. But on this project thousands of the world's media are on alert to the long-awaited results. Why?
Answers are two: • A
and 'simple: There have been many catastrophic theories about the success of the experiment until the end of the world, a subject very dear to all and on which the media are speculating a lot (without running the real message).
• The second and 'instead of the classic one, if we think about it. This experiment should answer a bit 'more about the existential question that arises now the man for millennia, "Where did we come from?" Or "About Us". In short, the question which tens and thousands of scientists, philosophers and religious also seeking answers. The answer that we infuse all of us. Most essays will ask: can we never give an answer? But that 's another issue.
One thing they all have not thought about it. What 'actual human weight of this "business".
In recent years, during the construction of the accelerator, harsh protests have been heard on this experiment, even at famosiscienziati. That raises doubts about the success of the experiment have been proven unfounded. Some of these concerns emphasize that this experiment could even lead to the destruction of the world itself.

The most established theory and 'that the creation of a black hole that proves uncontrollable and in a few years would swallow the earth.
Downstream of a motion pursuant to an official CERN scientists have been reviewing the risk assessment and drafted a year later, however, where the risks appear to remain. The risk that the theories on which we base today, modern science (quantum theory and nuclear) will prove unfounded:

So I wonder: How many times science has made mistakes? The mere fact that we call them "theories" should make us reflect. Why not "certainty of relativity? Or even "quantum certainty"?
What you do not understand and 'something bigger than a simple risk assessment. And 'the theme of risk. The fact that we must take risks to move forward.
do if there was even a possibility 10.000.000.000.00099 to destroy the earth? And if we are so "unlucky" to hit just one? Possible that there is no other way to find the same things?
Or rather, it is possible that this is the most effective way to answer our existential questions? A good portion of scientists has chosen for us to do.
