Could the Super Collider cause a black hole?
To date, the collider still has not produced any collisions, and it is the extreme energy of those collisions — up to 14 tera-electron volts — that could potentially create a microscopic black hole.
What happens if the Hadron Collider explodes?
The impact would be sufficient to completely obliterate a large metropolitan area, gouge a crater about 5 km across and 300 meters deep. (That’s about 3 miles across and 1000 feet deep). This is several times larger than the Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona.
Can we create a black hole in Hadron Collider?
The creation of black holes at the Large Hadron Collider is very unlikely. However, some theories suggest that the formation of tiny ‘quantum’ black holes may be possible. The observation of such an event would be thrilling in terms of our understanding of the Universe; it would also be perfectly safe.
Can Higgs boson end the world?
The end of the universe could, theoretically, have already begun. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that is crucial for a stable universe. If it became destabilized, it could create chaos in the universe, possibly swallowing up everything in its path, leaving nothing but a cold, dark void, New Scientist reports.
What is the God Particle do?
In 2012, scientists confirmed the detection of the long-sought Higgs boson, also known by its nickname the “God particle,” at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet. This particle helps give mass to all elementary particles that have mass, such as electrons and protons.
Will the Large Hadron Collider create quantum black holes?
However, any quantum black holes the Large Hadron Collider might generate would pose no risk to Earth.
Can an atom smasher create black holes?
Even if this atom smasher does create black holes, there is no danger of those black holes destroying Earth, added scientists of the new study published online March 5 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
How would the Large Hadron Collider spot hidden dimensions?
Like, say, the Large Hadron Collider, a 16.5-mile-long (27 kilometers) ring on the border of France and Switzerland, where protons are sent smashing into each other at near light-speed. How would the LHC spot those hidden extra dimensions? One way would be through the production of microscopic black holes.
What is the size of the nuclear Collider?
The collider is contained in a circular tunnel, with a circumference of 26.7 kilometres (16.6 mi), at a depth ranging from 50 to 175 metres (164 to 574 ft) underground. The variation in depth was deliberate, to reduce the amount of tunnel that lies under the Jura Mountains to avoid having to excavate a vertical access shaft there.
