pie Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 Since there is trend for larger and more powerful atom smasher's or supercolliders being built all over the world. Is there a chance that a stranglet could be formed, in which case it would sink to the center of the Earth and create a black hole. http://www.pacpubserver.com/news/news/10-19-99/blackhole.html One reason I am wondering if this is a possibility, considering Fermi's question about advanced civilizations, or there lack of any evidence for class 1 civilizations. Never mind any class 2 or 3. The reason being that all past class 1 advanced civilizations are now black holes from doing particle research in accellators, and under-estimating the ease ofcreating stranglets which destroyed their home planet and creating a mini black hole. We are estimated to be about 500 years from being a class 1 civilization. If stranglets are not controllable once started, and are easily created by a large enough particle accellator, then we are doomed to be destroyed in the near future by our own scientific advancement.
Bo Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 well strangelets and black holes are 2 different disasters, which have (almost) absolutely nothing to do with each other.i strongly suggest you read the very well written and (if you skip the formulas) easy to understand original article by wilczek et al.: (http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/citations?id=oai:arXiv.org:hep-ph/9910333) Bo
