God Did It
"Not only are we not at the center of the Universe, but we have now
discovered that if you got rid of us, our planet, our Sun, all the stars
and galaxies and gas that we can see through our telescopes, the Universe
would still be largely the same! We are, if anything, a small bit of
pollution in a Universe dominated not by matter such as that which makes
us up, but rather matter and energy that appear to be completely different
from anything we have ever observed on Earth. If we did not feel
cosmically insignificant before, we should now." (Dan Hooper, Dark Cosmos
- 2006)
The Large Hadron Collider will soon be turned back on - or at least that
is the plan. Sometime in November they have scheduled a restart of the LHC
in CERN. Will it work this time? Steven Hawkings says no. Others are
concerned it may cause matter, that 4% of the Universe that includes us,
will melt from micro black holes or atoms may be rearranged and new matter
will emerge which they are calling Strangelets. Others are saying the
these are highly unlikely risks and are overblown fear mongering.
Many scientists and grad students and post-doc fellows are hopeful for new
discoveries and the long sought Higgs Boson - ("God Particle") will be
found.
The first breakdown occurred only 9 days after the LHC was first turned on
over a year ago with an explosive helium leak.
But even if it works, the paradox is there is no guarantee they will find
anything. Christopher W. Stubbs, the chair of the Dept of Physics at
Harvard said: "Even if it does work, if they turn it on and find nothing
new at all--if they don't find [the hitherto unseen] Higgs Boson, for
example, or if they find stuff they expect to discoverer and nothing else,
it is unclear what the future of that field is." (Physicists Wait for
`Surprises' of LHC (October 09, 2009) By ALISSA M D'GAMA and HUMA N. SHAH
Harvard Crimson Staff Writers)
The experiments are a collaboration of thousands of scientists from more
than 100 countries.
"There are six main experiments that data collection at the LHC will
service--each of which will address a different question about particle
physics..." (ibid)
As reported in the NYTimes on October 19, 2009, it has
been suggested that the LHC has been sabotaged by someone in the future to
save the world by keeping it off.
"The strange sci-fi theory comes from Danish physicist Dr Holger Bech
Nielsen and Dr Masao Ninomiya from Japan, who claim the LHC startup
has been delayed due to nature trying to prevent it from finding the
elusive Higgs boson, or 'God particle'." (http://www.straitstimes.com/)
"In an article by Dannis Overbye in the New York Times, the pair said
that their maths proves that nature will 'ripple backward through
time' to stop the LHC before it can create the God particle, like a
time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather." (Straits
Times)
