Hey you guys... I'll make a bet with you. 10 bucks says it WONT create a black hole that will engulf the earth.
Its win-win for me. If it doesn't I get 10 bucks... and if the earth does dissapear... I wont be around to have to pay anything!!!!
And if the earth doesnt explode it will make the Scientists head larger and they will be emboldened to become more reckless with nature.
Does Judaism allow for the earth to explode? I mean could that fit in with a Jewish worldview? I thought Israel was eternal.
This is true... I dont think the earth will explode... But there are other ways we can suffer for the deeds of the scientists. If Hashem has to perform a miracle to save the world he will.
Technically, the world would IMPLODE. The black hole would become so heavy it would sink to the center of the earth, then suck the earth in from the inside. What we'd be left with is a black hole about the size of a golf ball. Not sure if it would suck in the moon too, or if the moon would simply orbit the golf ball sized black hole.
Like I said, we are not ready to experiment with something like a worm hole. We need to do more research.
Black holes and worm holes are two very different things. A wormhole is a shortcut though normal space that would allow for very fast transit between two distant points in spacetime. A black hole is a gap in the fabric of spacetime caused by the gravitational colapse of a large stellar object. very small black holes are also formed on a regular basis in nature by the spontaneous decay of exotic particles.
The LHC will allow for the study of exotic particles and energy in a very controlled way. Any of the energies or particles that are created will dissipate very quickly (fractions of a second) and pose no danger. Interestlyly, if this type of reaction could be sustained, it would allow for the use of vacuum or zero point energy as an energy source. As this type of energy is contained within the very fabric of spacetime, it is potently an inexhaustible power source.
Additionally, The LHC will give us a very good picture of the multiverse on the very small scale. This could lead to vast advances in computers, and other tech.
