		<description>The mad CERN ’s project.

In 1906, Rutherford studied internal structure of atoms, 
bombarding them with high energy a- particles. 
This idea helped him understand the structure of atom.
 But the clever Devil interfered and gave advice to physicists
 to enlarge the target. Bomb them!
 And physicist created huge cannon-accelerators of particles.
 And they began to bomb micro particles in the vacuum, in hoping
 to understand  their inner structure. And they were surprised with
 the results of this bombing. Several hundreds of completely new
 strange particles appeared. They lived a very little time and do not
 relate to our world.  Our Earth needs its real constants of nature. 
But this was forgotten. 
What God carefully created, is destroyed in accelerators.
 And they are proud of that. They say: we study the inner structure 
of the particles. The clever and artful Devil is glad. He again has deceived man. 
Physicist  think, that an accelerator - is first of all the presence of huge energy. 
And the Devil laughs.  He knows, that an accelerator - is first of all the Vacuum. 
But this, he has withheld from man.
 He has not explained that the Vacuum is infinite and inexhaustible.
 And in infinity there is contained an infinite variety of particles.
 And by bombing the vacuum, one can find centaurs and sphinxes.
 But my God, save us from their presence on Earth.
=========   .. ========.
Rutherford  was right.
His followers are mistaken.
Why?
Imagine, that I want to plant a small apple- tree.
For this purpose I shall dig out a hole of 1 meter width and  1,20 m depth.
It is normal.
But if to plant a small apple- tree, I shall begin to dig 
a base for a huge building (skyscraper), 
or if to begin drill ground with 10 km. depth,  
will you call me a normal man?
==========  ..  ===============.
Imagine a man who breaks watches on the wall.
 And then he tries to understand the mechanism of the watches
 by thrown cogwheels, springs and small screws.
 Does he have many chances to succeed?
 As many as the scientists have who aspire to understand
 the inner structure of electron by breaking them into accelerators.
 If not take into account the initial conditions of Genesis,
 the fantasies of the scientists may be unlimited.
==========     . ======== .
The Nature works very economical.
 For example, biologists know 100 ( hundred ) kinds of 
amino acids. But only 20 ( twenty) kinds of amino acids
 are suitable to produce molecules of protein, from which all 
different cells created on our planet. What are about another
80 % of amino acids? They are dead end of evolution. 
The physicists found many ( 1000 ) new elementary particles in
 accelerators. But we need only one ( 1) electron  and one (1 )
 proton to create first atom, to begin to create the Nature.
 All another elementary  particles (mesons, muons , bosons, taus,
 all their girlfriends -  antiparticles, all quarks and antiquarks…etc)
 are dead end of evolution.
============.
What was before - “ the big bang” or the vacuum ?
The physicists created “ Europe’s Large Hadron Colider “
 Please, look at how our physicists made this accelerator. 
They made the vacuum and after they generated a big reaction
 between two colliding particles in some small imitation of the
 “big bang”. They didn’t make this process in the reverse. 
So, what was prior in the Universe: “ big bang” or vacuum?
===========================..
The Universe as whole is Vacuum, first of all. 

Best wishes.

P.S.

Will CERN find the God - Particle?
Hawking bets CERN will not find the God Particle

Article by Ivan Gorelik.

What will LHC give us: 
the particle of God, or magnetic trap of Devil?

Magnetic trap is an axial-symmetric magnetic analogue of a black hole. 
It is 10^36 stronger than gravitational black hole. 
CERNs specialists do not know about the magnetic trap yet. If 
microscopic magnetic trap will be made in CERN's LHC, the Earth
 will be transformed into an infinitely thin emptiness, surrounded 
by circular current of 6 meter radius. Compare: Schwarzschild radius
 of such mass is 0,009 meters. 
Minimal possible magnetic trap has mass, which is equivalent to 
1 TeV, or about 1055 masses of neutrons. It has magnetic field, 
which is equal to 3*10^16 teslas. Magnetic trap is a magnetic dipole, 
which can be imagined as an infinitely thin coil, creating the critica
 magnetic field. 
Neutrons are smallest neutral magnets and they can be captured by 
magnetic trap, ejecting neutrino. Protons are also magnets and they 
can also be captured by the trap, ejecting positrons. Neutrons and 
protons are fermions, but after neutrino or positron ejection, they 
become bosons, - the quanta of stationery magnetic field of neutron 
hole. 
Half of mass of captured particles goes to the energy of ejected 
particles, and the second half goes to the magnetic trap’s magnetic 
field. As a result of particle capture the radius of magnetic trap 
becomes bigger. It looks as widespreading magnetic soliton. 
If magnetic trap of Devil will be made on collider, if the process of 
it’s growth will be slow (months, years), you will cry from pane, and 
your aggression towards big-bangers, who had made the experiment,
 will be much more, than mine aggression now. You will want to
 cut sir Hawking and other crazy big-bangers on small pieces. 
Now I am forced to convince the prosecutor’s department to open the 
criminal case against Rubakov V.A. If you will make the same in your 
countries against arrant big-bangers, we will survive. Otherwise we’ll 
die, with probability about 50%. 
Only crazy people can try to create particles with the rest mass more 
then 1000 masses of nucleon. It is possible that in the region from 
1000 to 7000 aum, there can be created hundreds types of particles and 
resonances. It is clear, that the most of them will decay. But some of 
them will grow, capturing the ordinary matter. 
Different types of growing particles will work on different forces, 
and on combinations of forces. 
I hope that mBHs, connected by gravity force, are impossible and safe. 
But magnetic traps are 10^36 stronger, and they are the most probable 
candidates to explain the majority of cosmic catastrophes – novae, 
supernovae... I had understood this only this September. 
Academician Migdal wrote 30 years ago about pion condensation in 
strong fields. As a result he had come to conclusion that neutron 
stars can have any masses. My approximate computation shows that
 the minimal possible neutron star has a mass, equal to 1055 masses
 of nucleons, and such embryo of neutron star can by made in collider. 
A month ago the article were published that new strange unexpected 
particle was discovered at Tevatron. It decays at several muons, up to 
eight units. Somebody had already named it the Halloween particle. I 
named it the muon hole. 
What will be made the next, the magnetic trap of Devil? It will not 
decay, but it will transform us into it’s magnetic field. 
Those persons, with high ranks and high scientific degrees, who cry 
about the safety of LHC must be arrested now, because they are 
committing the global terrorist crime now. 
Stop Tevatron and close the LHC. Throw out big-bangers from 
universities. Big Bang never was. The Universe is ever young. 
Hubble constant (H, Hbar) is the mirror reflection of Plank
 constant (h, hbar). These both constants are describing the 4d-rotation
 on opposite scales relatively us.  Precise value of Hubble constant you 
can find on my web-site. http://darkenergy.narod.ru/ That is my Steady 
State model of Universe. I worked with this model more than 30 years, 
and I did not receive any cent for my work. And now big-bangers want 
to kill me, my children, and all of you. Big-bangers want to touch the 
particle of God, but thus, they lead all of us into the magnetic trap 
of Devil.

		<description>Its inconcebible the we are discussing the Risk of Ending the World is just Estupid!..
even if its 0.002% Shouldnt be made!.
I mean we are talking about the entire life here!

are we crazy? talking about LHC percentages of risks?. this is stupid and should be stopped!. a cientific can do an experiment when the risk is controled even if its 50-50 its enclosed to a limited area or persons not the total world!!</description>

		<description>A factor defining risk could be based on setting safe margins for correctly generating predicted particles. The Higgs boson must be found to prove Quantum Mechanics is right about gravity

Right there we run into the biggest problem of all. To create a Higgs boson requires about 160 GeV with a reasonable margin of error. Already the TeVatron is generating 1,960 GeV collisions. CERN will generate 10,000 GeV collisions using protons in the first summer of testing. Then at full luminosity at some future point up to 14,000 GeV. Then with the upgrade planned to use lead particles 1,048,000 GeV collisions.

Currently:-
At 1,960 GeV the margin is about 12 times the energy required.
Very soon:-
At 10,000 GeV the margin goes to 62 times the energy required.
At 14,000 GeV the margin goes to 87 times the energy required.
At 1,048,000 GeV the margin goes to 6550 times the energy required.

Even more powerful particle accelerators are in the planning only stage.

Science is about testing theories, not setting margins.
All that is in place and all that is yet to come will be set by legislation or not at all.

		<description>Actually the risks may be closer to 0% or closer to 100%.  There is too much that we don't know to be able to know.  

My personal opinion is that the risk is more likely to be closer to 100% based on my research and assumptions.

The legal action estimates 75% risk with a very high degree of uncertainty.</description>

		<description>I posted the following on the Wikipedia discussion page for the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider" rel="nofollow"&gt;Large Hadron Collider&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Supportable Risk Calculation&lt;/strong&gt;
Are CERN’s calculations of no risk from MBH (Micro Black Holes) supportable and accurate? Has CERN published any scientifically supportable risk analysis other than the article titled: Microscopic black holes will not eat you… published at &lt;a href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html?" rel="nofollow"&gt;CERN's Safety Web Site&lt;/a&gt;

My research [of existing published material] indicates [based on some assumptions] a risk of up to 10% of a single MBH being captured by Earth’s gravity per month of LHC operation. Supporting assumptions and estmates: CERN states that microscopic black holes might be created at a rate of one per second&lt;a href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html?" rel="nofollow"&gt;CERN Safety&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/aprilholladay/2007-06-11-black-holes-extra-dimension_N.htm"  rel="nofollow"&gt;(USA Today)&lt;/a&gt;. 

Assuming that that CERN’s prediction is correct, [experimental physicist Greg Landsberg at Brown University in Providence, R.I.] estimated in 2004 that 10 million microscopic black holes could be created by LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in a year and 1 in a million would be captured by Earth’s gravity if Hawking Radiation fails to cause the HMBs to evaporate &lt;a href="http://www.livescience.com/environment/060919_black_holes.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;(Live Science)&lt;/a&gt;. James Blodgett published &lt;a href="http://www.lhcfacts.org/?cat=7" rel="nofollow"&gt;survey results&lt;/a&gt; from 15 physicists estimating odds between 0% and 50% that Hawking Radiation would fail, with an average estimate of 9.9% for failure. However [Greg Landsberg] also estimated that a single stable microscopic black hole would grow so slowly that it would not be a threat to Earth, though other physicists estimate much faster growth patterns. --Jtankers (talk) 22:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

<p><strong>Supportable Risk Calculation</strong><br />
Are CERN’s calculations of no risk from MBH (Micro Black Holes) supportable and accurate? Has CERN published any scientifically supportable risk analysis other than the article titled: Microscopic black holes will not eat you… published at <a href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html?" rel="nofollow">CERN&#8217;s Safety Web Site</a></p>
<p>My research [of existing published material] indicates [based on some assumptions] a risk of up to 10% of a single MBH being captured by Earth’s gravity per month of LHC operation. Supporting assumptions and estmates: CERN states that microscopic black holes might be created at a rate of one per second<a href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html?" rel="nofollow">CERN Safety</a> <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/aprilholladay/2007-06-11-black-holes-extra-dimension_N.htm"  rel="nofollow">(USA Today)</a>. </p>
<p>Assuming that that CERN’s prediction is correct, [experimental physicist Greg Landsberg at Brown University in Providence, R.I.] estimated in 2004 that 10 million microscopic black holes could be created by LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in a year and 1 in a million would be captured by Earth’s gravity if Hawking Radiation fails to cause the HMBs to evaporate <a href="http://www.livescience.com/environment/060919_black_holes.html" rel="nofollow">(Live Science)</a>. James Blodgett published <a href="http://www.lhcfacts.org/?cat=7" rel="nofollow">survey results</a> from 15 physicists estimating odds between 0% and 50% that Hawking Radiation would fail, with an average estimate of 9.9% for failure. However [Greg Landsberg] also estimated that a single stable microscopic black hole would grow so slowly that it would not be a threat to Earth, though other physicists estimate much faster growth patterns. &#8211;Jtankers (talk) 22:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)</p>
