Big Bang Day

Re: Big Bang Day

but in all reality, I can't imagine how it could create a black hole of any significant tragedy. Yes quantum/theoretical physics could drum up some crazy calculations that could show the birth of a small black hole but you have to realize the amount of particles they will collide that could collapse in on itself creating blackholes smaller than caviar eggs. Nothing the size that's resulting from a dying star.

The theories I've heard saying that mini black holes will destroy the planet stem from the idea that yes, there are cosmic rays constantly creating them everywhere, but the speed of the cosmic rays (and therefore the black holes) is too fast to be caught by gravitational fields. These theorist's fears with the LHC is that the black holes will only be traveling ~9 km/s which is slow enough to get caught in the earth's gravitational field. Unable to escape the earth's pull, the black hole would take approximately 50 months (by their calculations) to consume the matter of the entire planet.


EDIT: Holy shit I just realized that if you believe in the Mayan calendar, exactly 50 months from Oct. 21, 2008 is December 21, 2012, the day their calendar ends. Coincidence???

Either way this is gonna be some sick shit.

I think that the 2012 year is just a total noob mis-interpretation of the mayan calendar. I mean no one knows their language or hieroglyphs and what we have learnt so far is based on what people have dissected.

iirc the year 2012 is simply the year that the earth finishes a rotation around it's axis, an event that happens once every 25,000 years. And considering the earth has been in existence for the last 3.5 billion years and completed more than a sufficient number of these spins, proves rather clearly that there'd be no reason to get outta dodge

explain further!

i dont get it. the earth rotates on its axis once a day.

Re: Big Bang Day

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a cheesy ms paint mock up. this spin takes 25,000 years. Perhaps rotate wasn't the right word but a spin.

Re: Big Bang Day

but i thought the earth shifted on its axis once every earth year.

cant see the video feed. hence your ms paint mock up hasnt help me much!

sorry mate, your going to have be clearer

Re: Big Bang Day

video feed doesnt have anything to do with my ms paint mock up, the video feed is what is happening at CERN right now.

also, I dont understand this

but i thought the earth shifted on its axis once every earth year.

the earth revolves around the sun each earth year, it rotates on its axis every 24 earth hours, and while the southern axis is fixed, the northern axis rotates and this rotation completes every 25,000 years, that is what I wanted to show in the ms paint image.

Re: Big Bang Day

properties of black holes, magnetons, and stranglets dont exactly go hand in hand with life.

Maybe just the opposite. Life could not exist without....

this is interesting. if you know who john titor is

Re: Big Bang Day

yea we had a long ass thread in a previous version of MS. I think Palmer started the thread on Titor.

yeah, not exactly a rotation. Its a "wobble" that cycles every 25,000 years.

WOO HOO!!! I'm still alive today. No black holes came a-knockin on my door this morning!!
