A topic I have thought much about....
Fear mongering doomsdayers, scientific reports, world governments, lawyers, physics and the highest minds in the world all come together, in this controversial, hugely expensive, theorised look and attempt to produce conditions similar to the creation of the beginning of time.
Although I agree that the chances of anything cataclysmic happening is very very small, I also have my concerns, these very miniscule concerns potentially have some serious consequencies (if it all goes wrong), which makes me wonder if it is worth taking the risk at all.
I am deeply disturbed by some aspects of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Experiment, although I seem to be in a minority of people who think it could end up in disaster. Maybe this is due to the average person not really undertanding the facts and physicists being blinded by their desperate need to know about the start of creation and our role in it.
Science is always in some form of argument with the human race, when its issues are related to 'being/playing god' as in embryonic cloning etc then something is globally done about it, and issues relating to ethics become big news in its attempts to stop it.
Being scientifically minded, I am all for science experiments, they are essential for all forms of progression, but what I find worrying is when science and man think they are bigger than nature, we should never forget that we are insignificant in comparison to nature and the universe, it needs respecting not reinacting, huge parts of the universe are far too complex for us to understand at this present time. I could compare it to an 'Ant' trying to understand a television, it may be able to see it, observe it changing and know its size, but it could never understand how it works, if it started messing with the electrics well Big Bang theory successfully observed by the Ant! R.I.P.
I read somewhere that man and science has done more damage to the planet in the last 60 years than has been done in the past 2000.
Splitting a hydrogen atom was once a good idea.
Re creating the moment after the big bang with the risk of creating Black Holes is now deemed to be a good idea?!? "Because they will only be small ones and will burn themselves out" says the Stephen Hawkins theory.
How can they be so sure with something like a Black Hole? Knowledge of Black Holes is based only on theory, the universe doesnt work to mans still primitive structured thinking. The nearest black hole is in the centre of Andromeda 2.5 million light years away, the figures involved with them is mind boggling, and the smaller they are the hotter they are, again was reading that these small black holes would be at a temperature of 10 to the power of 6 Kelvin, can the man made structures deal with temperatures like that? What if 2 or 3 fused together and became more powerful we could all be crushed.
There is also a chance of some sort of magnetic polarisation that just goes north or south and other things which could be catastrophic.
Have a look at this link, if you want to see the LHC its 360 degree pictures of the swiss & french tunnels/caves.http://petermccready.com/portfolio/05091901.html
This project has been underway for the past 17 years, with incredible amounts of money spent on its constuction.
Why then have 9 out of 10 people Ive mentioned this to recently have never heard of it?
Perhaps the media has decided against it for the fear it may cause panic and fear, but why should it if its as safe as they say?
Perhaps its because the astronomical costs involved with building it, would cause outrage while world is in such poverty.
Perhaps its just because people are not interested because there isn't a celebrity switching it on.
Just my own personal thoughts on the subject.
