Comments on: Forget the Large Hadron Collider, Here Comes the Heliotron! http://www.neatorama.com/2008/09/04/forget-the-large-hadron-collider-here-comes-the-heliotron/ The Neat Side of the Web Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:54:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: chris http://www.neatorama.com/2008/09/04/forget-the-large-hadron-collider-here-comes-the-heliotron/comment-page-1/#comment-1439498 chris Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:54:20 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2008/09/04/forget-the-large-hadron-collider-here-comes-the-heliotron/#comment-1439498 let's all kill ourselves now so that the evil scientists can't kill us with their black holes and magnetic disturbances. as a physics student I'm apalled at how dumb people are. anything to justify slashing the science budget, right? it's all a witch hunt. now, if a Magnetar blows up anywhere nearby, the atmosphere would boil away and we would be instantly killed by gamma radiation. but scientists aren't in the business of fabricating death stars. if you want to fear something, fear the infinite void above us. let's all kill ourselves now so that the evil scientists can't kill us with their black holes and magnetic disturbances.

I'll try to post something if I see a big bright mushroom the day they switch it on. In 2018. They're building the huge ITER 500 MW tokamak project one hour drive from my home.

Just what I'd heard.

The Hadron will not make black holes large enough for the earth's end. But I do believe that it will over time, around 50 destroy our little blue planet. Messing with the magnetic field for one and have we not got enough background radiation without that Japanese machine. I do understand some science and I've study astronomy.
