Danger Of The Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider or LHC is not only the world biggest man built machine. It’s the largest man built anything. The LHC is a 17 mile (27 km) long tunnel near Geneva where Physicists shoot protons at each other in near to light speeds. The idea is to explore the fundamental truths of the big bang theory by creating one.
The quest is to find the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle, also known as the God Particle. This Particle is supposed to be the one that created the heavens and the earth. It is in essence the very beginning of existence. Playing with the fabric of reality? What could go wrong?
In 2008 The LHC is fired up. 9 days later, it is shut down when a helium leak in one of the magnets caused millions of dollars in extensive damage. Apparently, someone did a shoddy job soldering some connection or another and as a result, the super conducting magnet sprang a leak and a tonne of liquid helium sprang out like a fountain.
In 2009, a stray bird dropped a piece of bread on an electrical substation that controlled the accelerator causing a power interruption and a dangerous overheating of one of the magnets. This is only important when you realize that the LHC maintains deep space kind of temperatures
Interestingly enough, Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, Japan, and Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen came forward in published papers and stated that the LHC might be such a dangerous experiment that maybe it was sabotaged by time traveling birds from the future.
Well, an unidentified woman tried unsuccessfully to shut down the LHC in 2010; the Federal Constitutional Court stated that she failed to show any coherent connection between the LHC and the Apocalypse.
It seems that the scientific community has expressed the solid opinion that smashing protons together with enough force to create a black hole is perfectly safe. On this basis, the court ruled that the CERN collider presents no danger.
What does all this mean in light of 2012? Not much. Especially since the Large Hadron Collider is scheduled to be shut down in late 2012 for upgrades and will be offline for nearly 2 years. So 2012 theorists will have to find a new angle for the apocalypse I am afraid. We are probably safe from annihilation via black hole, at least for a few years.Best Survive 2012 Guide Click Here
