CERN scientist lies on national radio?

[soosan]

The programme was Steve Wright on Radio 2 on 9th Dec 2010 (at approx 4 45pm) Steve Wright was interviewing the scientist who was plugging an album that he had made.When Steve Wright expressed fears for the possible effects of the Cern research on the planet the scientist said that not to worry as they were only recreating what happened naturally in Nature. Forgive me if I am wrong but I read that all particles are basicly going in ONE direction-from the original source of the 'big bang'. Protons and Electrons are not being smashed into each other at the speed of light.

It's all just 'theory' anyway.

When are these clowns going to stop pretending that they are God or know better than God (God as in anthropomorphic or otherwise)?

He didnt lie. What goes on in the LHC is very similar, if not the same to what happens in our upper atmosphere. The Aurora works on a similar principle.

Do you work there?

wthree- The Aurora is caused by Photons and Electrons from the Sun encountering the electro magnetic field round the earth. If the electro magnetic field was not there they would hit the Earth. It is how I thought. Nowhere in Nature do they smash headlong into each other (other than CERN) Like HAARP- big boys and their big toys.With a total disregard for this Planet and the Life on it.

Well theyve used it plenty already, and the sky hasnt fallen in yet :rolleyes:

Look, ur right to be suspicous of uncautious science. Makes sense.

But that said, CERN is one of the most important things we can be exploring. If we can finally figure out, what the universe _is_ and perhaps where it came from - we can address the universe and life for it in itself, rather than what we would make it.

When u think about, a solid find with these types of devices would have far bigger consequences than a few scientists doing math.

What if the universe is virtual or mental?

What if mass is an illusion?

Is the universe created, or eternal, or naturally formed?


So, in a way, im very excited. I too, do fear theyre lack of caution, or precaution. Its so common in science these days. Wish they would just put in some saftey devices, and take some precautions and careful measurements.

Oh well, still keen to see what it chucks out.

It is the collision with the magnetosphere and the electrons and atoms within it that produces aurorae, so yes, they can collide. If there was no collision, there wouldn't be an aurora to look at.

This was the radio show by the way:
