CERN, Switzerland, August 7, 2008 ~ The LHC team has rescheduled the launch of the most ambitious and unprecedented science essay ever devised. The first attempts of smashing protons in the world's largest particle accelerator will take corner on October 21, 2008. The physical energy of protons is to reach values that existed during the Big Bang.
The behavior of particles at ultrahigh velocities and phenomena appearing in nook of collision can hardly be predicted. While this truth seems to be very inspiring for scientists, it doesn't frame much excitement amongst other people. Several lawsuits have been filed against CERN, arguing that the research can make potentially dangerous substances that could put the Earth at risk.
In one of the lawsuits filed by a critic of the collider's measures, the LHC was labeled 'a Doomsday machine'. The suit claimed that high power collisions may result in birth of miniature black holes which will swallow the whole planet, and sought to delay the launch of the accelerator. The case was impenetrable afterward the Safety Study Commission reported that there is no danger of the blood to the formation of new particles.
'When two particles collide, the result, be it radiation, a particle, or a set of particles, can't be of higher physical energy than the overall initial energy,' said Brad Gillies, one of the experts of the Collider Study Group (CSG). 'Therefore, the black holes in the collider will be more like 'theoretical' black holes. Their mass will be thousands times smaller than mass of a match head, so they can't pose any hazard to public fitness and defense or to the environment.'
While on the one hand this seems like a behalf explanation, upon closer look it doesn't appear very satisfactory. Gillies' words apply to collisions of two individual protons, whereas in the LHC there will be trillions of protons racing on every side the magnet ring at 99,99% the speed of light. Added together all these particles will carry the equivalent physical energy of a 50-ton truck, which is definitely more dangerous than a match head.
When we asked this question to Michael Evans, a spokesman for the LHC Diagnostic Division, he did not give any reassuring answer, but solely laughed the theme off. 'There is nothing to worry about,' Evans said. 'And if you do, I can prescribe you to visit our partner's website www.handybackup.net ~ they have a backup scheme for everybody.'
The final word has not yet been spoken, and CERN lawyers expect to deal with more cases against the upcoming launch. One thing can be said for sure: the machine will be launched this year, and it will be the biggest scientific breakthrough of the year, if not the decade.
