but in my defence- some places Gas is not a liquid but a gas, and in some places Gas is a liquid not a gas, here cars that run on gas- well; run on gas, though even that is a liquid when under pressure. and in my working class ignorance I call electricity, power and here we have 240 volt power, and plug into power points. unless the lhc has some dilithium crystals I'm assuming it's gonna be plugged into the mains? Know how much 'power' an aluminum smelter uses? Alot, so will this be using as much as that? |

I appreciate the point and very valid in many cases but it isn't the answer to 'that' question. I was interested in the direct Waste or hazardous by-products from particle accelerates, I should have been more pacific. Your answer could include in-numerous products. this is something I know zero about. It was a genuine question on my part, I could have asked michael directly but I wanted to hear from all.

The protons used in the life of a particle accelerator is a very small quantity and I was attempting to find out if there are processes to capture and contain them. (Alright it may not be standard model here but the mass of the proton is about 100 times more than the quarks that go into making a proton. It is just me but if there is space within the atom that can store that energy introduced when being accelerated then it is such a small quantity that space required means that high level storage is not an unreasonable option). |

The SSC site is still hanging around, http://www.hep.net/ssc/new/pictures.html
From what I remember reading, various portions of SSC are now located over at CERN, as part of the LHC. Stuff like Cryogenics plants and the like. Back to the question of LHC at CERN. One of two things will happen shortly after the beam is turned on and the first collision occurs. Higgs Boson will be proven to exist, the experiment, now a complete success will, will be shut down and thousands of scientists, technologists and technicians and support staff will become unemployed. Or, someone will come running into the control room screaming, "It's gone, It's gone!", as it will have winked out of existence. Apparently, Dan Brown author of "The DaVinci Code", also wrote a book entitled "Angels and Demons", which Hollywood is now converting into a movie. The studio doing the movie was in CERN a while ago, taking high resolution pictures of ATLAS before it and the rest of LHC was buttoned up for the cool-down. The pictures will serve to provide realistic pattern matching for the movies animations. ;-) To the very original author of this thread, "Don't worry, be happy", "Everything's gonna be all-right." Really, if you are concerned about LHC, go to CERNs web site and read about the LHC. They have huge quantities of documents describing the science, the machine, the construction, the commissioning and more. I spent days reading and watching movies and looking at pictures and trying to wrap my head around it all. I am pumped and I am excited and for the past three years, LHC has been a daily look for me. Great science is around the corner. Regards, rtt |

Yes, it was my intent to be humorous and also to over simplify the whole effort.
As I said in my note, I did spend days reading, looking at pictures, movies and animations, so I am also aware that the machine will be hosting a number of different experiments. In fact, two of the experiments may prove to be useful in discovering Higgs Boson in addition to other things. The amount of data to crunch will in fact be enormous. You suggest months, it could stretch into years. It is possible that they will end up using a cloud to process the large data sets, similar to the process used by SETI. I'll bet though, that if I were a Nuclear Physicist, sitting on the edge of my seat, with baited breath, waiting for an announcement from the folks at CERN, well, I'd want to hear about Higss Boson first. rtt |

Yet there are romantics among them as well as the pedantic type and often some are both. Recently a British psychologist, Rita Frith, was quoted in the June 3 article of "Current Biology": "Dr. Frankenstein is so incredibly courageous and ambitious as to want to find the secret of life. He works very hard and with great imagination, and he tragically fails...Sherlock Holmes is the opposite of romantic, and he never fails. He shows the dash of autism that may be as vital for the genius detective as it is for the genius scientist...The deeply romantic and the obsessively pedantic are both part of my image of a scientific hero". I plucked that quote from Science News. My familiarity with particle physics comes from the study of the subject as a hobby and having physicists that have worked at Fermilab and Argonne in my astronomy club. We have been fortunate to take tours right down to the beamline at Argonne and have toured and listened to lectures at Fermilab. http://www.bio.aps.anl.gov/~dgore/ I would think that the discovery of super particles will bring as much excitement as the Higgs. It is the surprises that will be interesting. |

Right. Now, if it were the day before (which is the birthday of the sister I don't like), that would be different!

There's a "pull my finger!" joke in there somewhere. I think I'll stay away from it.

One problem that has not been addressed with any particle accelerator is the breaking of the laws of physics with matter. I have placed this question on a couple of forums and no reply. Science can not account for the matter it accelerates.
Quantum science ‘assumes’ no time for particles because it makes a mess of the mathematics. But particle accelerators use real matter to ‘create’ particles. So even though a proton is very small it is still matter and not a particle. First scientists ‘assume’ the protons used gain mass due to the velocity (near light speed) of over 200 times the mass of a proton. So they are happy to use general relativity to explain the gain of mass. But if you took a simple piece of paper it would be a huge distance for a proton to travel through. Using the same Laws of same points of time the proton that enters that page width is not the same proton that leaves the page width. In order for it to be the same proton time must be allowed into the mix of equations to describe the movement of the proton around the particle accelerator. Just because something appears to work does not mean we know why it is working. Symmetry breaking could actually be reality bending. Within a year this particle accelerator will be five to seven times more powerful than anything ever built on earth. There is no explanation for why any particle accelerator works apart from the fact that they do. Even more strange is in line with the increased rate of universe expansion there is an increased rate of performance being delivered from the older particle accelerators. In short the science community is dabbling in the unknown and that unknown might be the very fabric of time and space. Recap:- There is something FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG with the scientific communities understanding of matter. I will repeat here what I have said on other forums "YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE !!!" |

So; what would that be? What is PA equivalent of critical mass? I'm sure the scientists know this. Even a fission bomb mass, energy and consumption was predictable and calculable within some margin. I'm not sure if that way of thinking is scientifically sound, but it gives me a comfort.

Time is just as fundamental to quantum theories as to relativity, and some quantum effects (eg. neutron decay) can be used to demonstrate the time dilation effects from relativity (fast moving neutrons decay slower in a way that is consistent with GR). Quote:

In addition to other people's questions, please offer some proof of this claim.
Might an improvement in performance of older accelerators (if such an improvment exists) come from upgrades made to them?

Thank you to all of the good members of BAUT who have taken the time to analyze the situation and answer me on this question and especially all the references to improvements over the years. Much appreciated.

Hey BAUT forum, just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here. I've heard all these fears about 2012 and when I came here they were completly debunked and I was able to sleep again at night.
I just wanted to ask on the matter of the LHC. (sorry, I know this has already been answered but I'm sure it'll warm some of your hearts to tell me again and put my fears to rest :P ). So, the things that they plan to recreate in the LHC (sorry for my poor scientific language, I'm only in college and physics is not a forte of mine) have been recreated within our atmopshere since the Earth had an atmosphere, and that as of yet, these reactions have not yielded black holes, or strange matter or any other kind of matter that's going to gobble up our world? And another question, why does the media insist on trying to exasperate the situation and make the public fear this wonderful machine? |
