i say no,i dont know much about the macine and how it works but i dont trust other humans enough to toy with space

They're not toying with space but with fundamental particals, you know, REALLY REALLY tiny stuff.

It sounds very interesting, but couldn't they have found a name that doesn't look like "Large Hard-on Collider" at first glance?

Of course it should be turned on.. it's going to be one of, if not, THE most pivotal physics projects in history.

that could cause a blackhole......

and also the bigband is really just a theory.

well now i say yes,as long as the chances for a black hole are low and if one is created, it could be destroyed by turning off the LHC

Look, this thing should hopefully give us great insight into the quantum world, and really RIDICULOUSLY tiny chances of creating a black hole or something are no reason not to press forward. If you're really worried about chances that small, why do you leave your house every day? You take a million bigger risks than that every day.

yes,yes thats why i said if its that low then fine i said no in the first place because i didnt know much on the subject,also yes i know i take chances every miniute even second but those are up to me not someone else

plus, if we are obliterated, we are dead anyway, we wont even know it....

OR. that black hole could act in a way contrary to popular belief and ACTUALLY allow mass to travel through it un harmed. that would be cool [if we had a sun on the other side to heat us that is]


A black hole isn't a "hole" at all, but rather a ball of super-dense matter, you know that right?

wrong, extrememly dense amounts of matter CREATE black holes. they are funnels between two "layers" of space-time, with exotic matter at the center [super dense]

the reason things can not travel through is because of the immensly powerful forces of gravity within them. hence why they are black. the gravity is so immense that not even light can escape.

it is not a ball, i do not know where you heard that?...

yes, they are supermassive, yes, most are created by hyperdense masses, but NO, lol black holes are not balls of matter.

Actually, at the center of a black hole is a singularity, but I'm sure you already knew that. But, I always envisioned a singularity as a star, a ball you could say, only infinitely tiny.

As far as the Hadron Collider is concerned, I say turn the damn thing on already.

well, yes a singularity, but it is speculated that at the center, the immense energy created converts the matter into anti-matter and condenses it.

and yea, if we die, we die. whatever

YES!!! oh my god yes!
The large Hadron collider is an amazing thing. It is a perfect demonstration of what makes us human, the way we kee questing to find out more and more and more. I'm only thirteen, and I'm the only one in my class who even cares about the LHC, but I am 100% in favour, and I can't wait to find out the results.

-There are two things you need for science, a relentless need to find out everything, and the brains to do it. The first is more important
