particul collision

[unknown edinterial]

Where I work there are a couple of harsh rumours about our scientist's meddling with Particle Collision and, correct me if I'm wrong but doing that would have the possible potental to destroy the universe?

Im not sure but they could be trying to recreate nuclear fusion or some kind of power to create energy..

[Doomer]

If that were to happen, we'd never ko

Do you understand how much energy it would take to blow up the universe? You would literally need an infinitely massed explosion that would explode @ TWICE the speed of light. Like seriously, an explosion whose power source was infinitely large. Never endingly massive. And why would particle collisions seem harsh? Scientists have been doing it for years, and hell, even the equipment they used has never blown up, let alone the universe. Maybe here's something to get you started.

Partical collisions like creating worm holes, heh, they've been doing that since the philidelphia experiment. But I do believe that nasa and the like are very concerned and are trying anything they can to precure an remedy for the coming object.
Whatever it may be. So I guess messing with mi nute particles will give them some info.

This work is ongoing at our research facility in Black Mesa. Let us assure you that the chances of a resonance cascade scenario are minimal.

I thought particle collision was like.....what happens in an atom splitter.

[evilwill]

That's the opposite.

Well I mean that in an atom splitter 2 molecules collide (partical collision) then, well split.

I had a professor recently who mentioned something along those lines. It had something to do with antimatter I think. He said it had the possibility of destroying the earth, but not the whole universe. As liverdave mentioned, to have something like that destroy the universe you would need an infinite power source.

To split an atom, the atoms are often bombarded with neutrons, not other molecules. They then split into two different molecules. An example would be Uranium-235. Once hit with a neutron it becomes then unstable U-236. This then splits to form to similar products (which can include isotopes of Iodine, Caesium, Strontium, Xenon and Barium), several more neutrons, and some photons which are usually in the form of gamma radiation.

I can be wrong but some of the goals of the experiments on cern are.

Colliding particles so they break up and we can find out what they are made of.
( The problem here is that the results will be used in the next kind of atomic bomb. )

Colliding particles to create a small black hole.
( The black hole is to small to do any damage and explodes before anything falls in it.)


The experiments are simular to the reactions that ocur in our atmosphere when light particels collide with the eath magnetic field. So anything what happens in the machine happens on an much larger scale above your head.

and as you can see. we are not dead yet.

Particle collisions are very common in the known universe and are experimented with in controlled environments on a daily basis.

Also, a molecule is not smaller than an atom. A molecule consists of two or more atoms. H2O is a good example of a molecule. Three atoms come together to make water.
