The switch was thrown this morning and everything’s jake. For the moment.
The only thing fresher than their approach to subatomic physics is their rhymes.

The evaporation of black holes is one of those theoretical things that has never been measured, Hawking Radiation.
It isn’t unusual for these kind of deeply mathematical theories to need extraordinary circumstances to test. A good example is that Einstein’s theory of general relativity was partially tested using a solar eclipse in 1922.
In reality, the idea that these black holes would be formed in the collider are no more testable or observable than Hawking radiation. Common sense would dictate that a black hole generated by an energy-mass transferrence would not be of sufficient size to sustain itself or cause planetary damage.

I know it doesn’t have anything to do with it, but last night when two big earthquakes had been reported after the earlier big one in Iran, I did kind of wonder if I should be nervous!

I still think this one is funnier.
Not that I’m a fan of Ice Ice baby, but the lyrics are much more realistic for a sampling cruise.
Ya gotta love energetic grad students.

OOPS,
Point of clarity. The video from the collider is relevant to the theories being tested. The one I just linked is funny due to its reality.

In the beginning,God created the heavens and the earth! Simple enough for this dumb marine to comprehend.Semper Fi

True enough, but for those of us who were created to have a scientific mind this is exciting stuff.
Science does not have to exist in absence of faith. That is the humanism lie of the post Darwinian world.
Not trying to sound too much like Newton, but this is just as much of a glimpse into the mind of God as peering into the cell.
Exciting stuff if you’re a GEEK.

Ditto. It’s all very cool stuff.

Cern where money meets anti-money.

And this is going to improve life on earth exactly how?

Well, just the technology involved in the steel and other alloys used to make this thing, as just one example.
As for the “real science” part discovery is discovery….proceed from there.

That’s exactly right, we need to cut wasteful spending, and start giving incentives for innovations in science and energy. We also need to cut social programs (it’s not the govt’s job) and spend more on science and the military (the govt’s job).
