More sensationalism - or them trying to justify the colossal amount of money being spent on the accelerator.

Hana,

You're the physics genius. What say you?


y:-?

that article wrote:The particle accelerator, which will be restarted this week, has already found the Higgs boson – the God Particle – which is thought to give mass to other particles.
Now scientists at Cern in Switzerland believe they might find miniature black holes which would reveal the existence of a parallel universe.
One may have impression that the situation with mini black holes is similar to the situation with Higgs boson.
In my opinion it is not. Higgs particle was something like a last puzzle into the Stadard Model theory of particles - theory that was so profoundly tested, whereas theories with extra dimensions are speculative (cern.ch website used the word "specualtive") and scientists still wait for result that would add some weight to these theories.

My two cents.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

(Rick, don't call me a genius :twisted: )

That we can look into higher and higher energies is to me an enough reason to spend money on LHC.
(Besides, you never know what useful side products such an exploration might have. The history proves it.)

Basic research. Doesnt always pay, but it pays off more often in more unexpected ways than people complaining about it
seem to realize.

It our our fault as Christians for pointing out the universe had a beginning and pointing out the bible always said that ,certain scientists don't like it and so they are trying to get rid of it.What they don't realize is we've already got this new stuff they are coming up with covered already as well.

I thought the link in the OP was interesting. I reckon any claims about 'proving' big bang did or did not occur or alternate universes existing or not is a bit of a hoot indeed. Even the Higgs Boson is 'thought' to give matter its' mass. I don't think anyone will be 'proving' anything about universal formation any time soon. Rather what researchers will do is add support to an alternate theory or current theories by their interpretation of data.

The concept of 'Heaven' is akin to an alternative reality. The concept of 'time' having no start date supports the notion of "In the beginning God......". :ebiggrin:
