The particle accelerator - permission to open in November

The particle accelerator at Sarn near Geneva, which opened with much fanfare about a year ago and was closed almost immediately due to technical problems, will be operational again after thousands of technicians and scientists from all over the world have overcome them

After a year of delays, the Large Hadron Collider at Sarn near Geneva is scheduled to open in November at a pace that will not put too much strain on the heavy physical equipment inside the tunnel. As I recall in September 2008, the particle accelerator was started and shut down almost immediately due to a number of faults, the most serious of which was a cooling gas leak that caused the temperature in the particle tunnel to rise from two degrees above absolute zero (Kelvin) to four degrees Kelvin. The temperature at which the experiment is carried out is important in the level of accuracy.
As I remember, the opening of the accelerator was accompanied by fears of people who are not well versed in science about the creation of a black hole that would swallow the earth, a fear that did not fade despite all the calculations that the scientists brought and which showed that this was impossible.

The accelerator, dug under the soil of France and Switzerland, will start operating at energy levels of 3.5 trillion electron volts (TeV) per beam, about half of the facility's expected maximum output. The physicists will run high energy pulses in every direction in the circular tunnel of the accelerator which is 27 kilometers long, will collect the information for several weeks and only then will they accelerate the systems.

The accelerator, which is supposed to produce the heavy particles that existed for a fraction of a second after the big bang. The cost of its construction was about 9 billion dollars, and the duration from the beginning of its planning until today is about 15 years.

  1. Explain something to me, the accelerator shouldn't be disabled in the winter because it says here that it will work in November, so it doesn't make sense
    Secondly, what is this? I was afraid last year of the experiment because of everything that was written in the media and if there is a small black hole, how can you relax that it won't grow and then there will be a disaster

    Carey Carrie…

  2. I am also aware of the fact that here and there I have spelling errors without proofreading/male-female in my writing on the Internet: this media is not exactly tailor-made for a rare breed like me. Therefore, as you should also try to understand that it is better for me to come under many nicknames, anonymously and.. also to free myself from a type of Jewish-yikes, as an excessive self-criticism, which lies in my veins.
    But my words: as "Ishu" - the heart of the matter! It is important for every creation that the soul of Ben Oni (see the Bible) and still seeps in his blood a tiny pinch: the Christians of the tribe of Benjamin - to "Israel". Heart-heart-heart-heart Kingdom: Heaven, Water and Earth (Secret, Holy Land)

  3. Hugin, if that's what's bothering you, Michael did not cover the costs of eliminating the old site and transferring all the material to the current platform. I took this out myself to avoid having to maintain two environments.

  4. Ben Hail watch - leave. Don't bother with ugly things. Not worth your health.
    And by the way - the truth is that I'm also a bit tired of the high level you are at and all your literature. It seems as if you are laughing at everyone from above to say: "I am better than you".
    I'm sorry, but you have an arrogance problem.
    God forbid, I don't mean to hurt you. But in my opinion the very fact that you are blocked does not reflect well on you. How do our sages say: "And you were good in the eyes of God and man" as well as "forever the mind of man will be mixed among mankind" - do you want more proof? I believe you know these proofs very well. We are not dealing with judges.

    So to sum up: Or raise everyone to your level and if you don't succeed then remember: "Just as it is a commandment to prove where you will be heard, so it is a commandment not to prove where you will not be heard".

    It's just a shame that you will go in with your head against the wall and your head will break! The system here is a little stronger than you - don't put it to the test.

    So know yourself and do your homework well and I will go out to catch waves in the sea in a little while

  5. Please block me definitively!! Even definitively, everything is good.. in my paradise.

  6. Hugin:
    Let's be precise:
    My father called you to call you to order.
    You really have him to thank for that.
    It's not like you called him to tell him you found out all these names are actually you.
    My involvement on the site contributes to its content.
    Your involvement amounts to nonsense and slander.
    You are the only one in the entire history of the site who has crowned people with the title "Nazi".
    I promise you that if you keep talking nonsense I will take the trouble to point out that it is nonsense.
    It's not about you. It has to do with the fact that reality is one.
    I know that you - in response - will continue to attack me personally and see this as a completely symmetrical situation. You just can't do it any other way.
    That's why I asked my father to build on the blasphemies you have already defeated us with and mobilize the law to block you once and for all.
    I hope that in time he will.

  7. Hugin,
    Arrogance is also talking about things you have no idea about.
    Arrogance is thinking that your crazy warnings matter.

    Chutsamza, tying the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah to the particle accelerator, is really the height of stupidity, even for you.

  8. And by the way, Rothschild a few months ago when I spoke with my father on the phone I realized that he had expenses for the maintenance of the website in the amount of about NIS 5000 if I am not mistaken. Have you ever participated in covering some of them? Yes, what exactly is your star riding on? I will ask that you guess to me and rest in peace

  9. Let them activate it already! Well, how long can we wait???

    I'm tired of their bullshit, I'm going to build myself a personal particle launcher, that will be just mine.

  10. Michael: I also talked to my father, and I thank him for that.
    (Tu B'Av).

  11. Hugin:
    Don't think you haven't been exposed before.
    In the last round you already managed to be Apollo, no no, thank you, to 9, a response to a sparrow bird, a modest and fragrant offer, trumpets in the desert.
    I talked about this with my father a few days ago.
    I have to say that since the last block you are holding back a bit with the swearing and swearing.
    We'll see how long it lasts.

  12. Kids, calm down.
    There is nothing the accelerator does that does not happen naturally. The accelerator just does it near the detectors.
    And besides, when you read the comments you realize that maybe the end of the world is not such a big disaster.

  13. There's no need to be so arrogant: it's not for nothing that they left for us (we are their future) documents in all kinds of forms, symbols, languages, paintings and the memory that is in the hearts of the eternal rememberers (NILI = Netzaz Yisrael will not lie and will not be forgotten) despite the forgetful, intoxicating and erasing of all kinds The many..

  14. Fear never stopped the creator of curiosity (and it's a good thing),
    Without the instinct of curiosity we would all be living in caves by now, without a wheel, without fire.

  15. And if we are debating the matter of the accelerator on an Israeli website, it is not advisable to forget that we have at least the duty to warn about the matter and not to follow fools after them as lacking backbone and memory.

  16. If you at least try to activate the gray cells and the documents scattered around the world and buried, it is possible, as a hair, that there is and maybe a parallel can be found between the contemporary experiment in Tzarn and between a perhaps slightly different experiment in ancient days in the Dead Sea - the Dead Sea.
    Think, Sodom and Gomorrah, salt commissioners, sinkholes of today. Maybe not in one day everything was destroyed, but every scenario has long-term consequences even if we are short-lived mosquitoes compared to the days of the hidden-historical world.
    In any case, if it is for nothing that we bring children and grandchildren into the world, let us go, even without any unnecessary hysteria..

  17. Point - if we all die so quickly, at least we will disappear without worrying and suffering too much 🙂

  18. So it's all a black hole or the destruction of the universe we know...
    What is this compared to eliminating the Iranian problem in one fell swoop!!!
    Think about the benefits, the glass is half full...
    Well, a little moisture at the bottom of the empty glass.

  19. Besides a black hole, another type of catastrophe is possible.
    According to one idea, there is a possibility that our universe is in a state of local minimum energy, which means that disturbances in the state of the universe can cause it to jump to a lower energy state. And if this is really the case, then it is possible that experiments at high energies will destroy the entire universe as we know it, because the disturbance will spread at the speed of light and we will never know that this is going to happen. (Unlike a black hole that can take several years to swallow the Earth)

  20. Alex:
    You are right, but what should be reassuring is the fact that collisions of this type that will occur in the accelerator probably occur non-stop in various places in the universe (including the boundary of our atmosphere) and nothing bad happens.

  21. I have a problem with the sentence: "The creation of a black hole that will swallow the earth, a fear that has not subsided despite all the calculations that the scientists brought and which showed that this is impossible." Because it is an experiment aimed at discovering new things. We speculate what we will find. But that doesn't mean we won't discover something completely different or that we won't discover anything new. Calculations that scientists make are only as good as the correctness of the theory they use. This experiment tests the theory, so it is very possible that it will disprove it, and the calculations they made will not be relevant. So, in my opinion, the words "impossible" should be changed to "unlikely". And it's perfectly fine that some people are afraid of the experiment. Although I don't think we will create a black hole...
    On another subject, according to the conduct of the experiment so far, it seems to me that it will never be conducted properly. In the end we will not see him
    accomplishments.

  22. I wonder what will come out of the Swiss accelerator's sleeves next time..Fransuali..:) We should probably also consult a modified FOX2P, maybe the desert animals of the 2000s have something to say about this: first open the mouth of the hydra...

  23. Mistakes are scary but they are very careful.
    It will not lead to the end of the world or a black hole.
    Enough with the fears.

  24. Hey,

    I wanted to interest you in the exit'09 competition.

    This is a competition in which for 4 weeks each person can come up with a 60 second idea in a video and the surfers vote which idea is the best.
    Each week a winner will be chosen and from all of them we will take two, we will develop the idea for them during an intensive week into a product (and everything will be transmitted live on the Internet) and the products will be presented at the in-novation09 conference. We currently have two winners out of eight potential places and new ideas can be submitted in the next two weeks

    The winner receives a prize package worth $250,000 that includes development, branding, business development, hardware legal advice and more

    This week is the last week for submitting offers. hurry up

  25. When a physicist says a small probability, it means that the chance that we will die from an asteroid strike in the next month is greater...

  26. Don't worry. According to all the publications, the researchers take strict precautions and there is no danger of pessimistic fantasies about the end of the world and the threatening black hole.... It will not happen. You can relax!

  27. The Europeans are indeed more precise and less overlapping than us Israelis, but I am disturbed by the thought that some flesh and blood people will conduct an experiment that could bring us all to the end of the world Model 2009

    mistakes happen. The experiment is important. But I don't want another big or small bang

  28. A tremendous and fascinating project
    I only hope that the products of the project will bring us great scientific profit.
    Because 9,000,000,000 (in dollars) is money

  29. The world is troubled at the end of time by the black hole that will be created
    Whereas I am more disturbed by the smelly cloud that rises from the Hovav plateau

  30. For white blood:
    Journalist: "Can the accelerator create a black hole that will swallow the Earth?"
    The senior physicist tries to answer without insulting: "Mmm... the probability of that is really small"
    Newspaper headlines: "Senior Physicist: Activating the Accelerator Could Create a Black Hole, and We'll All Fall Into It!!"

  31. This is the first time I've heard that the scientists claimed it was impossible.
    I remember that there was even someone who was afraid that this would happen - committed suicide.
    If so, what was the basis for the claim that this might happen?

  32. to the fearful god
    Keep believing this nonsense and the end of the world will be man made, but not because of the particle accelerator but because of the ignorance of a large part of the human race

  33. So, does this mean that the danger that the end of the human-made world is approaching again?
    Will the black hole created by the scientists swallow us all?
