Scientists preparing to fire up the world's largest atom smasher are being flooded with phone calls and emails even death threats from people worried that the Large Hadron Collider, when activated, will obliterate planet Earth.

SUppose it opens some sort of gate? Perhaps the gates of hell, or the gate to Graceland for that matter...

and if you want to know what NASA's calculations are on the earths obital decay around the sun are, just go check out their web site. Maybe you'll find some stuff interesting.
You'll also find out why two particles in space don't stick together by the force of their own gravity, but rather just bounce off each other and continue on a skewed path towards the larger gravitational force that influenced them in the first place. Kinda shoots the "earth was formed by star dust clouds" theory fall apart. Speaking of falling apart, study up on comets and comet killers as well.

OK OK I get it, you’re a nut job.
Sheesh.

I was caught in a blackhole once. Took years and a good lawyer to get me out.

"SUppose it opens some sort of gate? Perhaps the gates of hell, or the gate to Graceland for that matter..." Didn't the Nazi's already do that, and bring "Hell boy" into this realm? Don't tell me we are 65 years behind the Nazi scientists...

No, just educated to a much higher degree than you, and not brainwashed by all that “evolution” theory crap.
To: Nathan Zachary
“String theory, Phah! Pure garbage.”
Brian Greene might disagree, or agree someday.
But it’s “theory” and the Hadron collider could sink it, or prove it.
Let’s find out!
God I love discovery.

“September 10 huh? I think Ill wait a week to pay those bills...”
LOL! Pay your bills.
Some theories are that if a black hole is created by the Hadron Collider, initially it might not be noticed. It could gravitate to the center of earth and start swallowing the earth’s core, perhaps over years.
We have until December, 2012. ;)

LOL!
One of the comments following the article I posted above is:
“I just hope France’s black hole doesn’t open a portal to Hell or something. There are enough Demoncrats here already.”

String theory is ok if you are addicted to meaningless calculus, and have nothing better to do with your life day after day until you die. :o)

"Some theories are that if a black hole is created by the Hadron Collider, initially it might not be noticed. It could gravitate to the center of earth and start swallowing the earths core, perhaps over years." It wouldn't create a black hole, it would create a sun. We just wouldn't see it for a few million years. It would grow slowly just like the scorpion's experiment in that "spiderman" movie.
All I'm really expecting from this multi-million dollar waste of taxpayers money is a tiny little "spark". And that's if all that wasted money sunk into this thing is "successful". Then "scientists" will be doing calculus for decades trying to explain what happened. Woopie. The earth won't burn up, no doom and gloom. Why? Because the air on earth doesn't contain enough pure fuel for it to become a spontaneous reaction. Much like trying to run a car on too lean a fuel (gasoline) air mixture. It comes to a point where it won't ignite.
The object of this experiment is to someday create sustainable and controllable fusion from the controlled fusion of atoms- A pure fuel like helium atoms.

If what you say is true, about the atom bomb, then why didn’t the much more powerful Hydrogen bombs produce these same effects or something worse. Nothing is going to happen when they fire that machine up, but if it does so what? We all have to die sometime, the only question is when.

Didnt they ever teach/show you in grade school science class how much iron the earths gravity attracts from space each year? I thought they made everyone go home and drag a magnet in the rain gutters for a science experiment. Guess not in your school. Budget cuts, no science classes? I remember doing that! Not that science class required me to do it but because I was curious and drug magnets through dust and dirt all the time just to see the particles stick to it.:)

To: Arguendo
Does this really involve more power than a nuclear bomb?
I think in terms of explosive power, probably not as the Hadron Collider is not an explosive device. But compared with a nuclear explosion, the Collider probably IS more powerful if only due to the fact that it is a carefully controlled release of energy which takes place over a longer period of time than one would see with a nuclear detonation.
The typical nuclear weapon is intended to blow things up with little regard for anything else.
The Hadron Collider is intended to rip things apart by generating massive controlled amounts of energy on a scale I don't believe we've seen as yet.
It's going to be interesting.

Actually, I believe I stated that the theories about the early nuclear tests ripping a hole in space/time were unproven, and I don't subscribe to them.

You're absolutely right about we all have to die, which is why I heartily endorse my tagline below:

Where is that information? The earth’s orbit is not decaying. NASA has information on the orbital decay of earth orbiting satellites, which depends on solar activity.
You are right, the force of gravity is extremely weak. Two particles that hit each other w/ a large relative velocity will not stick together, but those w/ similar velocities will. It does not shoot down the current theory of planetary formation.
