The world's largest LPC today launched, the arrival of human doomsday?

According to physicists networks reported that the large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment in history is the most complex scientific experiments, its main purpose is to open the mystery of the birth of the universe. We filled with the knowledge gaps that exist in the universe that purpose, will be sub-atomic particles accelerated to nearly the speed of light before the collision occurred. In addition, the experiment may also impact on the verification of some of the time the novel theory, the existence of another latitude to answer this question.

In the efforts of the past 20 years, spent 6 billion Swiss francs, from dozens of countries of the 5,000 scientists, engineers and technical staff are to this huge project a reality. Greenwich Mean Time at 7:30 on the 10th (SGT at 15:30 on the 10th), the first batch of Proton will be imported into a 27 km long across Switzerland - French border circular tunnel. CERN (the CERN) headquarters in Switzerland - French border.

As the first step in a long-term experiment, sub-atomic particle beam will be accelerated to nearly the speed of light before the collision occurred, the impact will be in a small space to produce short-term temperature 100,000 times the sun's heat. Analysts will closely watch the impact process, to find elementary particles.

ATLAS (toroidal experimental apparatus of the initials) Bidezhanni spokesman said: "We will enter a new field of physics. On the 10th is a very important milestone." ATLAS is installed in the circular tunnel on the four In a great laboratory. Attached to the ring around the tunnel will monitor the impact detector process.

In a 10-hour-long experiment, the particle beam distance running may be more than 10 billion kilometers, enough to be a between the Earth and from Neptune. The maximum intensity, each particle beam with an energy equivalent to 1,600 kilometers per hour road vehicles. Large Hadron Collider will consume 120 megawatts of electricity, equivalent to all the families of the Geneva electricity consumption.

Two assumptions

The end of the world nightmare

Some scientists worry that the launch Hadron Collider on the issue should be慎之又慎. Indeed, since 1994 and more countries involved in the manufacture of large Hadron Collider, some disaster prophet to be alarmist, "copy" of about 137 million years before the explosion occurred after the initial shape of the universe, will lead to a disaster.

Not long ago, a small number of scientists opposed to the views of the European Court of Human Rights sued. They believe that large Hadron Collider experiment produced a mini-black hole Although the possibility is very small, but this possibility is not there. Once a black hole, the Earth will face the fate of being swallowed up. Some even believe that the consequences far more than simply a black hole, the impact of temporal and spatial structure could trigger catastrophic chain reaction, then the whole universe tear debris. To this end, they were two terrible assumption.

The first assumption: we simply do not see any omen, the more likely the front of one month, for all life on Earth will suddenly end. After this, the terrible earthquake suddenly, the rapid rise in sea level, super tsunami hit the coast around the world.

Ultimately, "the Bible" in the description of the end of the world fell in our human head, to destroy the entire planet.

The second on the assumption that the end of the world more frightening: that not all bodes well, in about one-twelfth seconds, the entire planet in space will disappear. In less than two seconds of time, Earth's moon with the left. After eight minutes, the sun was split in half. After this, the same fate befall other planets in the solar system's head. Even more serious, the space structural cracks caused tremendous damage to the speed of light spread out, to any outside world will come to the end of life.

Four reasons

Will not destroy the earth

"Large Hadron Collider experiment could destroy the earth", the title might help to increase newspaper sales, but the media attention was not the truth, or even deliberately overlooked the important details. Responsible for the collision of the scientists explained that, first of all, than nature can generate large Hadron Collider in the form of cosmic ray particles, the higher the energy of atomic particles. Billions of years ago, they landed on Earth a lot, but we are now is not good to stay on Earth and continue to write about their stories »

Secondly, these mini-black hole is not just some small black hole, they actually only sub-atomic size, that is with electronic or almost a proton. If the large Hadron Collider run for 100 years, these particles all the energy produced can not even lit a lamp. Although the large Hadron Collider, the atomic particles up to several trillion electron volts, but the large Hadron Collider produce miniature black holes may have the greatest rate is one per second, such a small rate is not to any person To be aware of the hazards.

Third, these mini-black hole is very unstable and they will soon collapse. In fact these black hole is in the opposite direction, emit radiation, so will eventually disappeared without a trace, not swallowed up by the material and become more and more, finally devour the earth.

Fourth, according to Sen Beige Weiernahai the "uncertainty principle", have anything in the possibility of some minor, but in this case the probability is very small, perhaps in the universe's life will not have this Kinds of things happen.

Of course, some experts believe that if one thing is very, very rare, possibly in the entire lifetime of the universe will not happen, then the physicist told the media on this kind of thing should not happen.

Have a lot of valuable by-products

The large-scale experiments scientists will also bring some magic by-products, such as improving the treatment of cancer, the destruction of nuclear waste and the method to help scientists study climate change.

In a year, this machine, the two beams of protons to high-speed collision, the data can filled with 5.6 million CD. This means that physicists have developed a sophisticated system for rapid processing of information. They said the grid (Grid) could be used for many other large amounts of data processing system model. Another research project that can hit from the right found in the new nuclear waste treatment methods. The European Particle Physics Institute scientists found, proton beam (a sub-atomic particles) scored Qianban can produce a large number of neutrons (a sub-atomic particles), but these neutrons can be decomposed into radioactive waste The stability of sound elements.

In addition, the European Particle Physics Institute for Medical Research also made a contribution because they found that can be used proton, carbon-or even anti-substances charged-particle beam cancer treatment.

The formation of clouds on climate and weather is a crucial factor, the study may be the European Particle Physics Institute at the centre of controversy, that is, apart from outside the greenhouse gases and whether other factors related to climate change.

Researchers will use Proton Synchrotron from the proton beam simulation of cosmic rays, they scored a so-called "Cloud Room" to see if the film will be a small cloud.
