I was just wondering what do you'll think of Europe's Largest Hadron Big Bang Collider machine,is it a joy or a ticking time bomb which could eventually wipe out this universe in the coming future?.What are your views because personally I think this thing is at least 1million years too early for this civilization.Reason why I say that is because this is a ''Type 7 civilization'' technology and this is currently a ''type 0.7civilization with a ''type 0.7 mentality(which might be lower)according to Kardashev civilization scale measure.So with criminals and different forms of terrorism not to mention being at least 1million years to early is this ''Largest Hadron Collider/Big Bang Machine'' a blessing or a ultimate doomsday weapon/ticking time bomb to wipe out all life and possibly this universe,also remember that if it ''creates a universe'' that ''universe'' will expand and possibly wipe out this one.Let me hear your views.

What if alien specimen from other planets came to Earth to destory the LHC in order to save the Universe. It'll make us Humans look like a bad species...

LOL. Sorry, but I think you want to insult us by throwing technobabble at us.



The Kardashev civilization scale does only account one attribute: The total amount of energy controlled by the civilization. He originally only allowed three types, I, II and III, later extensions allowed even higher levels, but never up to "Type 7" or class VII. (The highest extension level is IV - using the whole power of a galactic cluster)



Humanity is still class I, accounting 0.7 on the scale as we are still not even able to harness all energy available on this planet - but 70% of it.



The Kardashev scale does not do any predictions or implications, which kind of technology a civilization should have.



And the LHC is no Big Bang machine. It recreates the conditions a few nanoseconds after the Big Bang, but not even a small Big Bang, which is technically impossible as long as we can't warp space. We would have to pack energies into a single spot, which would be in excess of even super massive black holes.



It can only be a blessing - or a disappointment. But that disappointment is pretty impossible. From preceding colliders, we already have about one hundred experiments and measurements, which show interesting results, but would need the higher capability of the LHC to make sure that these results are not just random noise. If even just one or two of these experiments could get confirmed, it would already be a major breakthrough.



PS: You also forget one important aspect in your too science-fiction influenced scaremongering. We don't know how the Big Bang looked like from the outside and what caused it. We don't even know the internal or external dimensions of our universe - we can only see a small region of it.

Could go both ways. I mean just look at the Atom bomb. I doubt Einstein wanted his discovery to be used for good rather then bad.



Hard to say really but only time will tell. I just hope man kind has evolved past the point of making more weapons of mass destruction from these types of discovery. :(

i'm not so positive the U. S. needs something as large as this interior it really is united states. the negative aspects are truly extreme of it being a objective of terrorist's guns of huge technological information Destruction or WMSD. heritage as proved that Switzerland is safer than Coney Island. They made the elements maximum feared fairy undergo, they're getting money for it and do not you undertaking it really is in simple terms anohter pretend out by ability of the U. S..

This can't be stressed enough - the LHC will not end the universe in any way, shape, or form.

When will you people accept that the LHC is not a doomsday-device??
