The same field of study that tells us the black holes will be created, also tells us that small black holes dissipate extremely quickly, long before they are able to attract any nearby matter (and it is not nearby at all, relative to their size).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[VanillaSpice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 10:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Look at that little fire extinguisher!

Whatever the LHC will do, Nature has already done many times over during the lifetime of the Earth and other astronomical bodies. <br><br>And the thing about black holes:<br>Nature forms black holes when certain stars, much larger than our Sun, collapse on themselves at the end of their lives. They concentrate a very large amount of matter in a very small space. Speculations about microscopic black holes at the LHC refer to particles produced in the collisions of pairs of protons, each of which has an energy comparable to that of a mosquito in flight. Astronomical black holes are much heavier than anything that could be produced at the LHC.<br><br>According to the well-established properties of gravity, described by Einstein’s relativity, it is impossible for microscopic black holes to be produced at the LHC. There are, however, some speculative theories that predict the production of such particles at the LHC. All these theories predict that these particles would disintegrate immediately. Black holes, therefore, would have no time to start accreting matter and to cause macroscopic effects.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Judeaux]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 5:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[and theories are never wrong. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sinjinn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 10:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope you realize there is a difference between a scientific theory and the way people use theory in ever day life.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spike (WT)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 8:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope Apple bring out a new product before then.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BobTurbo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 5:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[What in the world did it gave you the impression we were even remotely interested in facts?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[igb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 5:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Did I mention how great engadget's comment system is?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[igb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 5:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[if it does get pushed back to 2012 i think alarm bells of everyone in the world should be ringing and we should all march down there and stop it,i also heard the cern main computer is nicked named skynet....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mrD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 5:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/large-hadron-collider-restart-end-of-the-world-pushed-back-to-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[That picture indeed is reminiscent of a large hardon.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[synn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2009 6:01AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
