Its like a damn stargate.

If it does manage to create a Black hole, we could use that to dump radioactive waste.

Blackholes have been created in the past and have this tendency to "evaporate" using radiations (even the big ones in the middle of galaxies, although in this case they receive more matter than they can expunge and, thus, grows). Even if the hole phenomenon is not understood entirely (like, you know, growing up to 7-8 dimensions around it), the "danger" they represent has been fully studied and they are not scared by those who knows what the **** is going on.

Keep the science stuff to the scientists.

even if they were able to create a blackhole (unlikely) it would be very small, and contain the same properties of anything else its size.

A tiny black hole has no more earth-ending capacity than a similarly sized mosquito.

Well, it's not rocket science.]]>Apr 7th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/cern-creates-a-new-super-fast-internet-invites-tons-of-people-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/cern-creates-a-new-super-fast-internet-invites-tons-of-people-t/
So, even using all the mass of the solar system (and the mass of all bulky ps3s) then this will not be enough to create a blackhole So CERN IS NOT ABLE TO CREATE BLACKHOLES, they are just bluffing or they achieved a way to create gravity without mass and afaik it is not (yet) possible.

The concern is that a tiny black hole (around the size of an atom or smaller) would still be able to swallow up the earth, as it were, because as we know, black holes increase in size as more mass falls in.

The evaporating black hole theory was actually postulated by Stephen Hawking (I think), when he realized that in quantum mechanics, particles exist with their antiparticles, and they sort of weave in and out of existence.. when a particle and antiparticle is 'born' near the event horizon, and one falls in while the other escapes, the black hole is essentially 'evaporating' or losing energy. There have actually been observations of black holes emitting X-rays, lending some credence to the evaporating black hole theory.

Of course, that all applies to normal sized black holes, and none of this may apply to tiny black holes, which might come into existence and then evaporate within a billionth of a second or something..

Anyway, read the book... I read it in like 9th grade, so it's been a while, and I might have some of the details wrong. It's really entertaining though (for those of you who like that sort of stuff........ but you're reading engadget anyway, so it might actually appeal to some of the readers here :)]]>Apr 7th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/cern-creates-a-new-super-fast-internet-invites-tons-of-people-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/cern-creates-a-new-super-fast-internet-invites-tons-of-people-t/I'm DAMN sure I heard somewhere that if only a tiny bit if Tachyon leakage in to the nacelles of the CERN, the whole planet will phase in to another dimension or something... And now thanks to this ultra fast network linking up places all over the world, I KNOW that this net-sky computer (I think that's what they're calling it) running the whole thing will utilitse the quantum soup coming out of the device, mix it up at some higer dimension and exterminate all life!

Where have you people been the past decade?

Holographic 3D video has been around for awhile. No its not cheap. No its not portable, but its definitely a reality. Just not in the cute little watch-projectors you see in Star Wars.

There are plenty of examples on the internet, just search!
