STOP THE LHC

[henaghan1]

it will never work because its being sabotaged by people from the future who know that it will destroy our planet

[jc144620]

Yes, we want to take the risk!!!

Oh, what risk?

[gtagrater]

we were lucky it broke...

[Tulsagolfomatic]

do you really believe they are going to tell you what this is really about? since fucking when do they tell us??? you fools that support this are deserving.

[michaellee213]

This would have been better with a voiceover from Don LaFontaine. R.I.P. Don.

[xmxixgxuxexlxoxnx]

stupid scientists

[sandiegomitch]

HAha you can tell some christian made that video.

don't want everyone to find out that god does not exist.

I can't wait for them to get it up and working again.

[wtfisthis1990]

Go to: watch?v=erQVkvxqPx8&feature=re­lated

[wtfisthis1990]

was that a pancake?

[ytmoog]

several experts are concerned it will produce anti-matter?

Who wrote this crap?

And whoever those experts are I bet they are not experts in Physics.

Anti-matter has been routinely produced in particle accelerators for over 50 years.

[pancakeownage]

they make a blackhole...they scream yay...they put the machine off and the black hole is gone..simple.

[pookking]

the black hole will either collapse due to lack of mass

or it will stabilize.

so in other words the risk is either 100% or 0%

[thechinesekid1]

They fucking wasted billions of dollars and risking the entire planet just to find one teeny weeny particle.

[gymnast79]

"Do we want to take the risk?"

FUCK YEAH!!

[anarchroyalty]

some people are just stupid. come on, science is the best reason for anything. now grow up and shut up.

[cyberdaemon]

This is not first time someone says that this research has "no practical benefits".Many theories and formulas thanks to what we have computers and cars had "no practical use" too back when they were discovered :D

[gtagrater]

yeah i guess your right hmm

[granuzlek]

No concrete practical benefit,... WOW!

[loveroftalsgames]

All to test a theory with no practical benefits.. hahahaha! This guy...

[t0LiTtL34G33k]

I say go ahead nothing going to happen nothing happened in 2000 or in 2006 or in many other experiments

[hebatakaku]

I wonder if the black hole can be produced..

I don't think so...human don't have the power to make a black hole...haha..what a myth....

[hergafliga]

Im so fucking tired of stuff like this. Let me just say:

$6,030,000,000,

14 years.

700 scientists.

Do you really think they're gonna stop now!?

[KiwiBro26]

If theres enough awareness and protest then there may be a chance to stop it

[Jasonacx]

big boys talk

[Shadow930812]

i doubt anythings gonna happen if america had any idea that this was going to destroy the earth we would put a stop to in within minutes...

[Jboy148270]

wow this is a real smart idea leave it up to the swedish to do it lol.... let america or someone like germany do it sweden is so stupid they dont even no what 2+2 is so any swedish person that can answer this question will win my thought on this killing machine ok what is a bj stand for you got 5 4 3 2 1 oooooooo sorry it was big jelly so anyways this is a stupid idea so.......smd swedin

[LucasTheY0utuber]

It doesn't help your arguement much by calling America smart and Sweden stupid when you didn't even get the country right. The machine is in Switzerland, not Sweden. Jesus, you sound like an idiot.

[edwardhalsall]

lol

[Jeseeu]

im not afraid it will do anything cuz i don't belive that anymore XD pff i don't think humanity has the knoledge to create such a thing but i still think it's a waste of money :D

[KiwiBro26]

They do and they are. keep watching.

[Truthiness231]

To anyone concerned/curious and wants to find out really quick if there is anything to be concerned about: msnbc(dot)msn(dot)com/id/25356­219/

Short video answers to your questions, featuring world famous (and my personal favorite) physicist Michio Kaku. ^.^

[cubed07]

Black holes if they don't evaporate continue to consume everything around it. The scientist are banking on Hawkins radiation theory which states that black holes eventually lose energy and die out. So the idea is that these micro black holes will decay and dissapear due to hawkins radiation. However, hawkins radiation is just a theory and hasn't been observed nor tested. But if hawkins radiation isn't true than the micro black holes could grow, that's the main concern raised with the collider

[2ip]

Mini Black Hole Warhead droping on Africa FTW

[Madchimpz]

I'm starting to hate the internet... Especially the science videos that get everyone worried.

[Kscorps2]

Oh wow these guys know NOTHING about kindergarten particle physics.

[sephyXroth]

lol they made a funny

[narfitowa]

this is the most stupid thing I ever watch in youtube.....what a band of ignorants!!!

[justcornelius]

what total bullshit

are there not bigger more likely causes of the destruction of plaent earth taht we shoudl be worrying about .. islamic extremism? american extremism? global warming?

etc etc

[patrik667]

"no concrete practical benefit"? Oh for crying out loud, STFU.

If it wasn't for CERN, you wouldn't be using internet, since they invented it.

If you're against science, I would like you to be burnt at the stake, since that's probably the age period we'd be without science.

[Truthiness231]

Yeah, no joke. This will improve our Big Bang model, increase our understanding of nuclear power (much of the world is having a power crisis right now), almost complete everything we need to put the universal field theory together, increase our ability to travel long distances in space, and ultimately millions of fields of things in science in the near future.

Idiots have no concrete practical benefits; in fact, they're starting to give me high blood pressure. We need a pill for them.

[KiwiBro26]

if any new technology comes out of this itll most likely be used to make weapons, their not gonna try solve energy problems etc, the elite wont fund something that will stop them from having control and power!! theres allready enough technology to have a near perfect world, the worlds wealthier than its ever been yet poverty is the worst its ever been simply because an so called elite few run the world & trust me they arent planning on hellping anyone, quite the opposite.

[randypx]

if you don't wanna have high blood pressure, DO SOME FUCKING EXERCISE AND STOP EATING CANDIES, if you don't do that...sorry XD

[Truthiness231]

LOL I'm in near perfect shape (I don't have a six pack, but I'm not smuggling a keg either ^.^). I was joking about stress induced by the idiots who know nothing about the subject and yet continue to spread these silly conspiracies.

Listen closely folks: we DO know exactly what will happen. Matter does this in space around Earth at all times every single day. Stop freaking.

watch?v=71G-tTa0CMs I <3 Michio Kaku ^.^

That's from the worst "news" station in the world, and they still got it right.

[Truthiness231]

OK, end all confusion/curiosity/conspiracy right here: msnbc(dot)msn(dot)com/id/25356­219/

Please, everyone, spend few minutes watching these very short video clips that explain, from one of the greatest physicists on the planet (and my personal favorite) Michio Kaku, that there is nothing to fear and so much to gain. Those who say Stop the LHC secretly want oil profiteering to continue; this is the only logical explanation I can see. This could bring an end to paying for energy very soon. ^.^

[KiwiBro26]

what a load of shit, when is enough enough? when its too late?

[patrik667]

"below" the temperature of outer space? My goodness, that video made my IQ drop a bit, and had to stop watching after that phrase.

Nothing drops under 0°K, or -273.15°C, which is the temperature of "outer space", and lowest temperature possible

[Truthiness231]

It's at about 2°K; go to the LHC homepage (google "LHC Homepage"), click on the picture on the front page, and you can see the cooling status of the entire machine.

[patrik667]

I know. I was just quoting what the video said, "below the temperature of outer space".

Nothing can go under 0°K

[Zblj1987]

Temperature in outer space isnt 0 K, its higher due to the big bang....

[KiwiBro26]

They dont know what theyll do with it, but most likely try make weapons out of it, anyways i dont trust this thinall that money coulda been spent for helpin bhumanity or finding free energy, the scientists will say naything 2 persuade everyone its ok, remember Doctore in the 50s said smoking was good 4 you & everyone believed it!!

[chenfeng214]

stop lhc. how can the scientists anticipate something that never happend before? what if their theories are wrong. I donot trust giving my fate to whom just want to win the shit nobel price. But what can we do?

[russiansexpat]

correction: it was 1 earthquke in Indoneasea 7+ and two diff deep quakes in japan deep. Now just aftershocks there 5+

[Darkness0111]

they should stop the shit no one in the world gives a FUCK

[chaksa]

i give!!

[russiansexpat]

God morning.

Two earthquakes 7+ magnitude just reported within minutes in both Japan and Indoneasia (different techtonic plates). Might be just coincidence, as LHC run was not with collision and not full power.

[dampf81]

OH MY GOD!! WE RE ALL DOOMED! THEY MAY CREATE ANTIMATTER!!

mhhh. wait a moment. it has already been created a dozen times in other colliders (not to mention in nature itself). but at least there is a bit of truth in this video ;)

[vstanphoon]

Is the rest of the world going to sue the scientist or their government? Can money or apology fix the damage they created? We know that this machine built on their dirt but how about other effect or hazardous consequences to the earth? Did the rest of the world ever have a chance to vote to begin with? Or just a group of scientists/investors can decide the destiny of our world? The result either going to be WOW or Ouch!

It is OK to play with yourself; NOT OK to play with the world.

[AzureDrag0n1]

Hey dumbass. When you turn on a lightbulb do you think the rest of the world is entitled to vote over whether or not you risk the fate of the world by turning it on?

[KiwiBro26]

Exactly right AzureDrag0n1 !! who are they to gamble with humanity, what gives them the right!!!

[vstanphoon]

The purpose of this experiment is to create a micro back hole which is something human have never done before. How would scientists say something that it is harmless and safe based from their study? Had the studies ever turned on the switch?

How are they preparing for the disaster if something terrible happen? or just say Oops we didn't know this is going to happen because the theory from this and that books said so..

[lemur2000]

This video just makes me more excited.

[sekhmettt]

BULLSHIT!

Thanks for making me laugh.

[Skirza]

Several scientists fear it. Several thousand scientists work on it. Simple math tells me which way to lean on the debate over whether or not it is safe. Duh

[andrewjones1977]

it's going to take many months for it to get to critical mass.

[conotoxin]

LHC conspiracy = trutherthink in action.

1 electron volt = 1.6 x 10^-19 Joules

7 tera electron volts (TeV) = 11.2 x 10^-7 Joules

The mass of an adult female Anopheles mosquito is rougly 2.0 milligrams, and they fly about 1.6 kph. KE of the impact of one mosquito at top speed:

KE in joules = (m*v^2)*1/2

m = 2 x 10^-6 kg, v = 0.4444 m/s

KE = 3.95 x 10^-7 joules

4 of these mosquitos running into you at once represents more kinetic energy than the LHC impacts....

[547212436]

well they fired the lhc today and we dont seem to be dying... so i guess we are safe lol

[Truthiness231]

And it isn't the first time we've used a particle accelerator before (in fact we have two different types, linear and circular, and a bunch of other bigger machines we plan on building). However, I bet the conspiracy nuts stretch this into October since we'll be doing it in higher number then ("Because maybe it will... like.. happen after we do it 666 times.. or something" IDK ^.^).

[firekitty8]

STOP THE LHC pretty late for that sinse it's already started

[Beatboxer3lliot]

There is no fucking risk! THIS LHC IS SAFE!!!! It happens millions of times every day in the earths atmosphere and nothing happens..The size of a blackhole the LHC could generate would just evaporate within seconds. You guys need to read some stuff about LHC. Its happened already and were still here.

[kregx]

No, you're a fucking idiot, it hasn't happened yet.

They haven't fucking collided yet- they've only sent the beams in circles both ways.

This shit needs to be stopped, they're basing extreme experiments of off extreme theorys.

This is the most stupid fucking idea ever- it's betting existence itself.

Just for a couple fucking people out of the whole world to feel good about themselves? No thanks.

[Beatboxer3lliot]

Listen to yourself! this machine is perfectly safe, youll see.

[vikkevire94]

yes take the risk!!!!

[kchelly]

STOP THE LHC! BEFORE WE ALL DIE!

[XFatalFeline]

..should we have died yet?

(Sorry, I only heard about this a couple of ago.)

[enginiseer]

yes if this wer true we shud all b dead now :P as of this morning lol

oh but lookey here, wer nt and all the lil idiots who said we wer gna are left liking ther wounds and saying "yer but it mite still happen" lol the fact that theres lots of other particle colliders jus like the lhc onli smaller has nuffin to do with it of cors lol

[JonathanClement140]

I don't even listen anymore. Every theory you people come up with gets more and more stupid. So, tell me, why SHOULD I listen to you?

[ThoughtCriminal100]

I want my fucking money back, I want to see the people who gave the green light to this waste of resources taken to court.

[DJEgin]

WEEEE GONNNAAA DIIE TODAY!!! mammaaaaaaaaa please don't :'( xD lol

[LazyLimonada]

i just dont wanna die, if it works, cool.

if it doesnt, whatever happens id better be able to haunt whoever's responsible.

[Grindley08]

Ugh fuck off with the we are guna die shit.. if you die.. or wake up with a foot thats part of a fucking dinosour then ring me.. and you cane come slap me in my face xD i would rather belive the smartest man in the world then what some probs religous fuck nut made up about the end of the world..

[Dan4157]

Either this thing kills us all or I'm winning the lottery. I wouldn't mind either way!

[CMSmash13]

ITS NOT BULLSHIT ITS AN ATOM SLPITTER

[glitcher322]

stop it before we all die

[bazookaben]

PLUS remember to mention the FACT that the VAST MAJORITY of the world of science(those actually in the know) believe that the chances of strangelets, antimatter, and microscopic black holes destroying the earth are TINY. (And they have to say that because, as scientists, they would rather not rule out anything, unlike the ignorant and fearmongering makers of this video. By the way, the full power will not be switched on until the 21st, so it's early yet for anyone who believes this to freak out

[Shooter3112]

i agree with bazookaben!

[russellreal]

same :) smart guy

[bazookaben]

Load. Of. Balls.

Fearmongering rubbish. No PRACTICAL benefit, sure. But isn't there an amazing benefit in finding new particles, new KNOWLEDGE(don't be scared of that, now) AND proving the theories behind the Big Bang. If the kind of people that made this vid had their way, we'd still be in the dark ages.

[DJEgin]

yaaahh we may die today xD lol...

[palgea92]

You really think putting earth at the risk of destruction is worth it just to see if theories about the Big Bang - which happened millions of years ago - are correct? And finding new particles... They are trying to find the Higgs Boson. Wtf are they gonna do with that one when they've found it? Create a new Big Bang?

My point is, whatever they will discover, it's not worth putting the entire earth at risk for something belonging to the past.

[Truthiness231]

Do you really think they put the planet at risk? Please get your information from someone who knows what they are talking about (perhaps the 10,000+ physicists who worked on this), rather than conspiracy spreaders. There is just as much chance it will turn us all into geese as there is destroying the universe (i.e. no chance at all). Black holes coming in contact with one another happens quite often, and it's like the LHC * 10^293847 (i.e. a huge fucking number).

[KiwiBro26]

When scientists wanted 2 do the first Atom bomb test there was much debate as some thought there was a chance that it way cause a reaction where atoms keep splitting and wont stop therefore destroying the earth, andf they still did it!!

[Truthiness231]

Yeah I've been using that for an example. It shows how focal the average idiot can be when they get fearful of what they don't understand.

Thankfully scientists don't listen to the average idiot when the average idiot refuses to get informed and see what the scientists sees.

Practical benefits to what we're learning: +1 to the universal field theory, nuclear power technology, long distance travel technology, and millions of other science fields in the future.

[Truthiness231]

typo there; focal should be *vocal

[KiwiBro26]

As if this is to better mankind, bullshit!! if any new technology comes out of this itll most likely be used to make weapons, their not gonna try solve nergy problems etc, the elite wont fund something that will stop them from having control and power!!

[Truthiness231]

watch?v=Kf3T4ZHnuvc

We didn't die over 12 hours ago; that's when the conspiracy died.

[KiwiBro26]

There actually just warming it up, and once at full power will be doing bigger collisions every single hour every single day until one day too much power and ........

[cubed07]

They never collided anything, they were simply firing a proton and doing test runs to see if the LHC is working. They didn't perform any collisons and won't be planning on any for at least a few months.

[Shooter3112]

I think we should go for it, if we die we die but if we live we can solve global warming, cancer, and loads more problems.

[mlsmodmusic]

studies show that if the energy from this can produce a black hole, then we would have seen them already because the energy bombarding our planet from the sun is five times greater.

I think that's a safe assurance right there.

Im personally thrilled to see what a successful result would produce as far as scientific value goes. It would add new elements to our disposal.

New building material, new energy sourses, who knows?!

[TheAussie00]

1 in 50,000,000 chance it will create a black hole.

Thats what scientists say.

[TheAussie00]

Why 2.5 stars ratings?

People think this is fake?

[jackhartcup]

fear mongoring bullshit

[larrylunchmeat89]

where did this money come from? that scares me more than the experiment. this is very wierd. arent there more things to spend money on this planet? its a gross abuse of rescorces, and is very sad. and im sure some new WEAPON will be developed. how connvinent.

[mlsmodmusic]

very good point. Who knows what may come from this?

[shanep12345]

soo if they are going to recreate the big bang we are gona get the same black holes and astroids that occured when the earth first began so doesnt that mean that the same astweroid that exterminated dinosaures is gona hit again?????stop lhc guyz seriously!!!!

[Ixtilion]

it will be mini big bang retard, so relazx

[Inaccount]

yea, but a black hole will grow, and they will create a mini black hole...

[teruonline]

fake!!!

[dibby95]

what the hell its not fake this is underground in switzerland it starts in 2 days time

[isaaclquinn]

what are antimatters and what are strangelets?

if we clash them two energy wire thing together [ at 0:46 ] wont that make a massive explotion like a atom bomb the size of the universe

[TonyAndKayla]

We do not know enough to Do this experiment.

Some things should be left unknown for the better.

Lets not take this risk, because its basically life or death here.

[dibby95]

i think you should chang life or death into human race or no human race

[kraftdinner35]

Yes we do. We Will not stop until we are looking into the eyes of God.

[mkoo33]

jump off from some high building and you'll see the eyes of GOD :) we dont really want that for now. so would you mind jumping from that building and leave us alone please? :)

[philipnewmannz]

Just immagine what will happen if the can make anti-matter :P

[TimmermanV]

Perhaps nothing will happen and then investors will remember how much money they put into it. :-P

[Scuzzz]

stop the LHC !! i dnt wanna die yet

[DarkJedi8x]

DON'T STOP LHC

[RossP84]

Reply if you agree with me on this but I like the fact that we dont know it makes the Earth more mysterious and the fact that they are away to make a minitaure Big Bang they may find something but they would also get all the shit that came with it like Black Holes and stuff. Earths a goner the minute they set that off. If we are not then I dont really wanna know how the Earth began Id rather not.

[HauntedVLD]

Do you want to take the risk?

YES PLEASE!!!

[SkippyleGrandGourou]

Misinformation, obscurantism and creationism are the saviors of mankind. Or not. Make your choice.

Oh, and chances that the LHC destroys our planet or even just destroys the CERN are about the same as chances that a baseball shot by the New York Yankees hit the Taj Mahal. Please study science before talking about it.

[Jeseeu]

ok so the US spend on war...but whats the use of this knoledge for ordinary people ? most of the people on earth will not even know about it...il just know how it was then and it will be of no use lol.....just for coriosity of some

[srrtube]

the car you're driving works thanks to physicists who more than one hundred years ago discovered the laws of thermodynamic, and the computer you're using exists because of transistors which exists because of quantum mechanics.

[srrtube]

no practical benefit?

the Word Wide Web you're using right now was create at the Cern!

6+30 billion dollar seem too expensive?

what about the war in Iraq which cost so far more that 560 billion (just to steal oil)

Those scientist are physicists and they know extremely well what they are doing, and there NO DANGER at all involve with the LHC.

Who made this video? Fox channel + a bunch of scared ignorant priests?

[Noodler13]

the difference between inventing the internet and discovering the secrets of the big bang is that there was no risk of destroying the world when creating the internet, while i agree it would be an incredible discovery, even the smallest risk of killing everyone on the planet is one im not sure i want to take. these scientist's thirst for knowledge knows no bounds

[srrtube]

Ok I agree with you if there were a minimum risk. The point here is that the minimum risk is ZERO for the same reason why 2+2=4. Again, physicists know what they are doing. The sue against LHC, is just a scam in order to collect money from people after scared them about possible disaster. It's the same game usually republicans play with the the rednecks to obtained their votes. It's a trick learned by the Church. You know how it work

[Noodler13]

your right they do know what theyre doing, but the fact is, they dont know absolutely everything. for all they know the particles colliding will create millions of pokemon that will enslave humanity. the black hole being created is a theory, just like the big bang itself. theories arent always right. you just never know

[Idkfawin32]

First off the internet was greated by the UNITED STATES MILITARY YOU FUCKING MORONS. and Its not gonna cause the end of the world.

[ConspiracyMirror]

the ideal is that you rate 5 stars if you agree and 1 if you dont = )

[atriqus]

That video was adorable.

There's better odds of us all dieing tomorrow from a gamma ray burst than this thing. People are going to get a great lesson in probability come October 22.

[ConspiracyMirror]

lol

[karlo345]

wtf are they doing?!?! why risk if it is there is a chance that we will all die?

[infinit888]

"why risk if it is there is a chance that we will all die?"

The chances of us dying because of the LHC is exactly the same as it is now at this very moment. Our atmosphere is constantly being bombarded with particles that are more energetic than those which the LHC will produce.

[karlo345]

those are natural particles in the atmosphere, you cant compare 2 different things like. Why risk it, even if there is a small chance, and there is, that we all die, its not worth it.

hawking radiation isnt even proven, how do we know the MBH's will decay?

[infinit888]

"those are natural particles in the atmosphere"

Care to explain what makes the particles (protons) used in the LHC unnatural?

"Why risk it, even if there is a small chance"

Small? More like 1 in a 10^100. Faced with these odds why do you even care to do anything at all? Everything around you has a higher probability of killing you yet I don't see you freaking out about your pillow.

[karlo345]

Where do you get your numbers from? Im sure if Hawking radiation was actually proven to exists, those would be the odds. But Hawking radiation doesnt exist. So you'd think the chances of it destroying the earth are a bit bigger, dont ya think?

And anyway, I dont care about my death, I care about human survival, which isnt going to happen if this thing doesnt work.

[infinit888]

"So you'd think the chances of it destroying the earth are a bit bigger, dont ya think?"

"The area of the Earth's surface is about 5x10^18 square centimeters, and the age of the Earth is about 4.5 billion years.

Therefore, over 3x10^22 cosmic rays with energies of 10^17 eV or more, equal to or greater than the LHC energy, have struck the Earth's surface since its formation."

lsag(.)web(.)cern(.)ch/lsag/LS­AG-Report(.)pdf

Mind you this is only considering the earth.

[Xjawa]

Totally agree with you... this is the moment we have waited for a quite period of time, and someone wants to stop it... that would be probably psychologists, administrators and people who dont know shit about science... take a pretty good look around, if it wasnt for science you wouldn't be enjoying sitting where you are and looking at my comment

[547212436]

"I work my fuckin ass off to pay taxes and this is the shit i get in return. Who ever took part in this building this should kill them selves."

You obviously don't understand how this actually works for you. The other older colliders and the knowledge gattered from them have acutally generated 3 billion in revenue which keeps the economy going and indirectly helps secure your job. Also lets not forget that the internet which is of huge importance today was invented at CERN.

[jgieseler]

The internet was not invented at CERN, the World Wide Web was though.  Nice try though.

[ConspiracyMirror]

blah close enough?

[547212436]

For the record. Saint Andrews University Physics Dept. created the first "BLACK HOLES" earlier this year. At a minute fraction of the cost of this. We now know that nothing much happens when you make a black hole, not even a lot of press coverage? Boo Hoo! Shame on the Press!

[heysaturdaysun]

um, they need time to cover the Britney Spears crisis in Los Angeles. DUH.

oh, wait, there's a war going on, too?

[547212436]

physics is a pool of ideas, you can not stop it just because it does not have a direct near term benefit.
