CERN: LHC produced black holes could remain on Earth

In the past CERN stated that if microscopic black holes were to be found at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), they would exist only for a fleeting moment. Today, their definition of a fleeting moment also means all eternity:

"Those produced (micro black holes) by cosmic rays would pass harmlessly through the Earth into space, whereas those produced by the LHC could remain on Earth. However, there are much larger and denser astronomical bodies than the Earth in the Universe. Black holes produced in cosmic-ray collisions with bodies such as neutron stars and white dwarf stars would be brought to rest. The continued existence of such dense bodies, as well as the Earth, rules out the possibility of the LHC producing any dangerous black holes." Reference Link

So to all you people who stated for months there's a chance the LHC could create stable black holes, enough already!
CERN admits it! But no worries, they wont be dangerous... and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you!

Submit CERN LHC news tips, opinions, whistleblower reports

Since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be out of commission for a while due to a technical failure, we at Two Mosquitoes feel for you physicists and technicians at CERN and around the world involved with this experiment, which is why we added our news tips, opinions and whistleblower form on the right side of this page, to help pass the time until the LHC is operational again or permanently shut down. So if you want to spread the gospel of CERN, report a fellow employee or superior, or blow the lid off the LHC, here's your chance!

Looking forward to your submissions!

CERN: Nature mimics the LHC, just LHC differ from nature

We all know about CERN's Large Hadron Collider's safety report, and their line "Nature has already generated on Earth as many collisions as about a million LHC experiments – and the planet still exists," which sounds better if nature mimics the LHC "The Universe as a whole conducts more than 10 million LHC-like experiments per second," and not the other way around since CERN states the LHC collisions differ from nature. Don't believe me? Well continue reading, and give nature props for doing a heck of a job mimicking the LHC! Woo-hoo!

First, like stated above, cosmic rays have performed millions of LHC's on Earth, and we're still here. Amazing, isn't it. To put CERN's statement simply, the universe, nature, mimics protons in the LHC speeding towards each other at close to light speed till they collide. And what about the LHC? Well the LHC can't mimic nature so CERN states on their website "Collisions at the LHC differ from cosmic-ray collisions with astronomical bodies like the Earth," and if you been keeping up with the news, they're 100% right about everything! So, to reiterate what CERN stated above in plain English, the LHC can't mimic nature, but for some strange reason, nature mimics the LHC all the time. Go figure.

So to all you doomsayers, we're all safe when nature mimics the LHC, just not the other way around. Alright!

Hackers infiltrate LHC systems. So does the Grid exist?

For months CERN has been advertising the Grid as the future successor to the internet to counter a lawsuit from physicist Walter Wagner to stop experiments at the Large Hadron Collider until a proper investigation of it's safety was performed. Everytime news networks mentioned Wagner's lawsuit in the past, they would follow it up with CERN's Grid which suppose to securely share it's data from the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) collisions worldwide with other physicists. Turns out, this Grid uses the internet which is 10,000 slower to help share it's data, meaning it's not a secure network like they stated for months, to which hackers came close to shutting down one of their detectors, leaving a warning on CERN's website - cmsmon.cern.ch - which is now closed to the public to avoid further embarrassment.

From the Telegraph.co.uk:

Scientists working at Cern, the organisation that runs the vast smasher, were worried about what the hackers could do because they were "one step away" from the computer control system of one of the huge detectors of the machine, a vast magnet that weighs 12,500 tons, measuring around 21 metres in length and 15 metres wide/high. If they had hacked into a second computer network, they could have turned off parts of the vast detector and, said the insider, "it is hard enough to make these things work if no one is messing with it."

From CERN Insider:
"Questions have been raised at CERN as to why it's systems are accessible via the web. Personally I thought all was secure since we've been told scientists around the world would be viewing our data using the Grid. Guess anyone can lay down cables and trick the lower rank into believing there's a secure network."

But hey, CERN still has the cosmic ray line to counter Wagner's black hole warnings. Just one problem, you don't need to be a physicist to know that cosmic rays are hitting stationary Earth particles, but for some strange reason CERN compares that to collisions at the LHC where nothing is stationary.

Cern's logo, 666? Learn it's true origin.

By CERN Insider

Ok, you know what, I'm not going to embarrass the people who have confused CERN's logo for the mark of the beast, specially since I'm nervous about this experiment myself. My time is particles, not planning the Earths destruction so I can shout at GOD "I won!" Below you will find out CERN's logos true origin, and the logo that didn't make the cut that would have really got everyone up in arms, which would have been understandable today.

CERN's logo is taken from the design of synchrotron particle accelerators. Originally the design was going to resemble the outline of a schematic of a synchrotron, but the problem with that, CERN's logo would have looked like a black hole. Not good. So what we did with this logo design was remove a couple lines, shorten and angle a line in the opposite direction, off center it all, then add another circle with a line sticking up to help break up the original design. And that's how CERN's logo came to be.

So please, people... your souls are safe... for now. Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!

(Thanks to CERN insider for article)

NOTE: Synchrotron image above is not the machine CERN's logo is based on, but a similar design. CERN insider asked me to update the first sentence of this article to state how he feels about the LHC experiment.

Hawking Radiation, Higgs Boson, do or bust (implode)

10 September, Red Button Day as CERN calls it... Whoo-hoo! ...the first beams of protons will be injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and through various sources, either it's going to circulate in one direction to test the 17 mile round particle accelerator for a few weeks, or smash protons together at near light speed either that day or by the end of this week, or in two months.

Anyway, depending on when these collisions take place, the main purpose is to detect the Higgs Boson, what CERN calls the God particle, which Stephen Hawking placed a bet against it being discovered in 2000 once the LHC is operational, that still holds today, but still expects his own theory, Hawking Radiation, will evaporate micro black holes before they could become stable enough to grow, even after losing a bet causing him to admit in 2004 that the Hawking Radiation theory was in error for over 30 years.

Knowing this, CERN still expects the unproven Hawking Radiation theory to still save the day if micro black holes are produced through LHC collisions, not even considering that it could be completely wrong. Now if Stephen Hawking states Higgs Boson wont be created through LHC collisions which some fanatical CERN supporters call idiotically ludicrous to even think, why do they still expect Hawking Radiation to evaporate micro black holes when they now call Hawking an idiot?

Wait till we cross into the next dimension, then you can call him names! Sheesh!
