Is it finally the end of the World ? No I don't think so.
Large Hadrons Collider doesn't serve to destroy our planet. Sincerely talking: I don't know in what manner a simple Lawyer, was able to predict this bullshit, and I even cannot understand in what manner newspapers, radio and TV can give importance to this "man". But both, me and you, we now how stupidity in misinformation of mass-media there is in the world. Just it.
Well, this experiment, would like to split particles in very "little debries". Already we know Quarks, identified by exotic names, also because those particles ARE exotic themself. But substantially we have to know, we have to discover again: the dues of the Matter in our Universe.
Standard Model of Physics, makes guilty the Higgs's Boson for this. Well, the only one issue is that this particle, never was directly observed. Indirect observations just tend to confirm it's existence. But in science: something exists really when it's clearly identified. Higgs's Boson it's the responsible of the existence of the mass in our Universe, following our Theory.
I would like to find the one that justifies why Medias and certain idiots have not brain, but this is out of Standard Model I think.
Anyway, discovering the existence of this particle will give a sense to Standard Model, and if it there is not, it means that we have to redo something in Physics. But this is the research's Law.
This is the scope of humankind. Don't forget that you, me, all of us, we are just wasting time following our Mobile, our Portable PC, our interconnections, my blog :-) and so on.
Definitely we are not born to be slave of our products. Vice versa, we have to use our products to amplify our capability to understand WHY we are here. I use my blog to communicate to you and to give my ideas. You can answer to give feedback. This growth up each other.
But the aim is not the blog itself. It's the use; the scope of it, that makes or not sense. Who's making the scope ? WE ! Only WE are responsible of it.
Probably to the majority, this concept doesn't make any sense. Probably they just ignoring this, and they still thinking to Soccer, Baseball, Golf, Tennis and so on, or just business and so on.
But in the reality those activities should be just a vehicle for our life in order to get answers from our life itself. But we are so """intelligent""", so """smart""", that we are focusing us just to the other side of the question.
Coming back to this research that will be made with LHC, we need to discover if we are looking in the correct direction or not. Our future is based on it. Why ?
Well: what do you think about microprocessors and your PC ? They are alive thanks Physic's Law. But more specifically, they are alive for the Physic's Law that WE UNDERSTAND and WE DISCOVERED.
What does it means ? It means that: till now our understanding was enough to produce those processors, but we are not more able to proceed further, if certain things are not so well clear or cleared out.
We are not able to make any forecast that is not affected by huge amount of uncertainty.
So what do you think ? Do you think really that we are able to proceed further with technology, using sub-particles components, if we are not able to work on that space because there is a lack of information in the Physic's Modeling ?
Not at all. Suppose that we discover Standard Model is not correct. And suppose, just for a while, that this will bring new information to us. Suppose that thank to those new information, we'll are able to give powerful PCs to you, but not only this. Suppose we'll are able to interact in a better way with our Body for it's own health also, and that we will be able to travel from Earth to Jupiter or a nearest Solar System in few days instead of centuries, in order to get some more resources for our Civilization, or to discover something new about Energy, and so on and so on. Do you really refuse this ?
Not at all, and you know very well that's not science fiction. It's good, because a lot of things in the actual world, are due this kind of researches. Even if Standard Model is finally correct, than it's good for scientists, it will give new perspectives thanks to the fact that we can tune fine forecasts and consequently: applications in the """real world""".
I think you have appreciated not only the PCs evolution ( this was just a little example here to open this discussion ) but huge steps ahead in medicine, to take care about humane Health, in the renewable energy systems, just to try to avoid global collapse, reduction of CO2 and so on. Of course there are politicians after scientists, that decide what to do of/with us. But at least scientists are discovering new things to be better ( politics are discovering how to transform those things to be worse !!! )
So that welcome LHC. Accelerator of Hadrons. What are the hadrons ?. This strange name. It looks alike aliens' name. It's not so strange if you understand that it's a Greek word ADRÒS that identifies particles subjected to Strong Nuclear Force. As you now in Nature we have four fundamental forces as:
Gravitational
Electromagnetic
Weak Force
Strong Force
Ok Hadrons are subjected to the Strong Force. What is this ? In few and simple words, is the force that maintain Nuclei as they are. As you know, if you have particles with same polarity, they tend to push each other away. Nuclei structures are not possible under this condition. Strong Force is a field of energy, mediated by Gluons ( from the word: Glue ), that acts in this way:
the more particles tend to go far away from each other, the more they are attracted to each other. Fortunately for us this force exists.
This force acts on Quarks, that constitutes the heavy particles on Nuclei, but it's action field, is quite large to involve the entire particles them self.
Producing high energy collisions among those particles, we brake them in their fundamentals and we can eventually observe those "fundamentals". The problem is that the energy that we need is proportional to the energy that constitutes particle's mass field. It means that: for Higgs's Boson that has 200 Gev, about 3.5x10-25 kg, we need the same potential energy in order to discover it from particles collisions. It seems little ? yes ? Well, to reach this energy, we need a machine huge as the LHC to produce it. So what do you think now ? Do you still thinking that mass and energy constituting the mass itself is little ? :-) I think you are convinced that: in order to split particles in equivalent sub particles, collisions should be done at the same or more energy, required end forecast by Physic's Models. So that: if Physic's Models are correct, we will obtain the forecast results. Now I think it's clear.
Well, to reach a collision of such amount of energy, we need really exotic conditions. To accelerate particles above the half of speed light, we are looking their mass incrementation ( Theory of Relativity ). This augment is exponential, till it's required more energy than the one contained in our Universe, just to reach 100% of speed light.
In few words: it will be never possible to reach that amount of energy. Of course we can go closer and closer but never reach it. Look here. Just to accelerate hadrons at speed of about 99.99995% ( Am I right with decimal ? Sorry if not, but it's just to give you an idea ) of speed light, it's necessary to have LHC. If we would like to increment by 0.00001% we need another machine so huge and powerful that actually it's impossible to have one. And probably it will never be possible.
All these words to make you understand why a so huge machine. Of course to accelerate those particles, we need superconductor magnets, to cool down the relative environment approximately to absolute zero and so on. In other words: we have to approximate strongly the environment that there was when Universe was born. The principle is: same conditions same results.
Do we have just to confirm the Standard Model ?
Well, this is the main purpose, but other things can be confirmed or deleted.
We can discover Higgs's Boson so that consequently we will give an explanation of the Mass's origin
We can explain why different particles have different mass, electrical charge and so on.
We can discover something about Super Symmetry theories, Obscure Matter and so on and so on and so on. Probably we are making a step ahead toward the great Unification theory. In this case the doors of the Universe are opened. But still a question: Do we are mature enough for this ? Enough maturity is necessary upfront to reach a goal, or we have to consider that maturity is reached always after have reached the goal, due experience made ? Well if Chromodynamic is wrong, we will end our existence in a black-hole. But I think that Chromodynamic is NOT wrong at all, because all forecast of that Theory are respected. So that we will see what we will discover. Be prepared, because there is also the probability that we will not discover something.
Now, somebody is scared about potential little blackholes that can be generated by this machine. Even if there is this possibility, believe me: no one of this will be alive enough to eat the Earth. It's sufficient if I tell you that the average age of such black hole is just 10^-27 seconds ? What does it mean ? It means that this black hole will survive only: 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 1 seconds. This time is not sufficient to kill us.
Anyway, do you really feel yourself safe at home without this machine ? Do you ever thought that asteroids are not discoverable in time ? And even if they are discovered: nothing, I say again: NOTHING can avoid a collision with them, in case they are on Earth's track ?
Yes I know that some american told that: we have bombs and weapons. But this is not a scientist for sure OR he/she's lying. No weapons in the world are able to destroy an asteroid. Neither the atomic ones. Why ? Well: weapons use the force of the air moved by the explosion, to create damages. Even the atomic bomb, it's so powerful, because brings at high temperature the atmosphere and the rest it's just: thermodynamic. But in an environment where there is not any atmosphere, just a light flash and nothing than this can occur. So forget any defense. But there are other giant enemies in the Universe, so powerful, so unpredictable and so invisible, that you will never ever imagine.
Did you ever heard about Gamma Ray Bursts ? No ? Well. It's good for you. Now I'm gonna to explain with simple words, what is this. Gamma ray Bursts are the most intense emission of radiations that there are since the Big Bang ! They are generated during some Cosmic tragedy that follows a tragedy.
When a star explodes, as Supernova, it remains her Nucleo that starts to rotate rapidly, often creating a Pulsar ( PULSating stAR ) and in case she had the necessary quantity of mass ( Chandransekhar Limit ) her remains collapses in a black hole.
But there is a middle stage. Two Pulsars that are reciprocally attracted, can collapse against each other. Then they can reach the quantity of mass sufficient to collapse in a black hole. At that moment happens something so huge that's impossible to imagine. For physic's processes, the new body generated, emits a so strong burst of Gamma Ray in its Poles' direction, that if this beam intercepts our Earth, we will be fully destroyed in few minutes, and all the surface of our Earth will be fully sterilized ! But how far away those bodies are ? So that you are sure that we can be not so worried about ? Well, in the reality they are extremely far away from us. Billions of light years. But so powerful that this distance, has not importance: they will kill us anyway.
Upper atmosphere's layers will be totally destroyed ( Ozone free ), all the fatal radiations will reach the surface of our Earth, alter our chemistry and so on. How frequently do they happen ? Not so much frequently, but quite frequently to worry us about them too. We have not power to go against such phenomenon. Cosmic dangers are not finished or limited to those things, there are so many others that frankly talking: you cannot feel yourself sure, if closed in your home OR without LHC ! So: be less childish, do not believe to apocalyptic bullshits about LHC and look the life as it is trying to discover it more and more.
Well, to be on science fiction, try to imagine if we discover something unexpected. Typically, when you are trying to discover something that you forecast, what you will discover is not what you are looking for, but something else, completely different and so more important, that the first origin of the research is completely neglected. Suppose that we will discover how to open a wormhole. What hell is this now ? Wormhole, or scientifically talking: Einstein-Rose tunnel, is a shortcut in space-time continuum, that can connect two regions of space, in very short distance and time to travel on it, that normally are distant between them billions of light years. Have a look
HERE in order to understand details.
In this case our concept of travels and discovers, will be totally upsided-down. Regions of space are connected at the same time, so that the clock time is the present. It means that in few minutes you can travel for billions of light years. But even there, suppose that we are able so far, to go somewhere else in the space. Suppose that we will are able to reach a distance of 300 light years from the Earth bringing with us a huge telescope ( as Hubble is ), and from up there, we can point that telescope toward the Earth. What do you think that telescope will be able to see ?
It will see the Earth, how it was 300 years ago !!! Because the light departed from the Earth, to reach that point, is departed 300 years before, bringing with itself all the information as they were.
In few words: we can attend directly to our ancient history looking in what manner really things gone !!! Do you have afraid to discover that many things in our books'history are altered or are totally false ? Then why do you study history ? Perhaps you are just studying fairy-tails, so that I think it's better for you to study the real history. What advantages, and what changes in the human culture if something like this happens ! Perhaps it's really more important than Higgs'boson.
