Man-Made Black Holes Looming?

camusflage writes: "The New York Times has a story that some physicists think it might be possible to make black holes at the under construction Large Hadron Collider at CERN, slated to come online in 2006. Trying to allay concerns about a man-made black hole blipping us out of existence, they say "The same calculations ... predict that around 100 such black holes a year are `organically' and apparently safely produced in the earth's atmosphere in cosmic ray collisions." As long as we can keep critters from building nests in the singularity, we should be okay."

    Please don't mark me as troll or flaimbait, at least in sci-fi black holes can be used to go back and forth in time.

    Would it be possible to go back and change the recent events? Imagine if we could avoid our own casulties from the WTC, I bet our .gov knows EXACTLY where all these people were at before the disaster.

    Please if anyone knows about these time travel/black hole theories or laws of physics please post them.

  2. taleban.com Hacked by ScumBiker · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The Taleban website, appears to be continually hacked. Every time they fix their site, within minutes it's defaced again. WAY TO GO!!!!!! I'll make a mirror of the hack for prosperity. I don't feel so completely helpless anymore! There has to be more that we as a community of geeks can do, other than giving blood (VERY IMPORTANT!), or donating cash. I'm sure that the lowlife communicated electroniclly, maybe have secure or hidden websites. Think about a cell based organization, picking up and dropping off information anonymously via FTP. I'm almost positive that info is out there. LET'S FIND IT!
