i was just talking to my gf dad about this whole issue who does program engineering for the same company investing in operations lile this
he is one fo the electronic engineers who design the standford linear accelerator, but now does stuff for software tuning of eletro-based sensors and atoms detectors etc....
anyways, he said the suit was a complete joke, and has no official backing and he read through this thread and gave me his two cents
as someone with experience in studying the atomic structures he said specificaly
the in these tests they are using optical beams, with excited sections that operate in severe vacums
they can basicaly colide:
neturons
protens
electrons
Neutrinos its a by product of a reaction between protons with feeded netron release...anyways
the point being
they will accelerate and feed beams of light together, is extreme vacum producing actually a compressed plasma that is almost like 3 kelvin...then when the stable reactions are fast enough they stop the traveling protons by shifting magnetic fields and they hit each other...each time the purpose is to create these relative supernovas....creating atoms that are not possible to find on our planet...they then feed light back into it, feeding the reaction creating short lived multi part atoms that we cannot see or sense..but the measurement of the Neutrinos it releases in the paterns and whatever....lets us understand how they work - also there are companies using powerful linear acelerators to creat some of the rare uranium found above the 104 on the periodic table
now the interesting part is, that the small reaction that they produce firing protons are in a severe vacum, and they basicaly creat little super novas with a fed reaction wich the life is fractions of a second becase the intense reastion it produces has no actual fuel source so it disintegrates fairly fast
like fractions of a second fast
on the other hand, the sister company he works for....at livermore labs in livermore ca...were i interned in optical science btw.....they have a division that has created miniature black holes by firing nertrons into each other and then feeding them with protons while coliding the neutrons not just to smash them together but keeping the shashing happening continualy even when its just two atomic peices...while the protons are a source of fuel
these are also done under extreme vacum situations, and therefore has no available "solid" source of fuel
about opne of the miniature black holes is created on a weekley basis for study...they also send rare atoms they create in liner acelerators and smash them in together with these small black holes
so in cunclusion he told me there are miniture black holes, everywhere, all around us, they appear when Neutrinos colide..and they need to be feed for them to be catostrophic, were talking about the excesses of two meteors about the size of our moon or even texas, would colide at near light speed and at the same time the reaction sheds sub atomic particales called Neutrinos, if all went well then a black hole would develop, but were talking about feeding it is next
black holes the guy told me are everywhere, and you have to feed it or they "evaporate" more like disintegrate
so if they were to create a black hole, it wouldnt not be the first time...just a couple years ago, they created and still are making miniature black holes in labs using light particles
and also, the point of the cern lab is to colide and recreate atomic structures without creating black holes, wich are ooo so easy to do in labs, even when you cant feed them, but you can monitor what actually happens when the black holes fall apart
another thing is that when the linera accelerator in palo alto is coliding atoms, they sometimes cannot control the en viroment exactly and they create black holes, but arent equiped to study them...
so if a black hole was a issue, why are people already doing them???
hmmmm this lawsuit is a joke
