CERN and a Rant

Ok, I have to get this straight with everyone who reads flashladybug.
Now, yesterday, CERN’s new neutrino laser came “online.” It was officially commissioned into use.
This is a neutrino laser, mind you. Billions of neutrinos pass through the earth every day, and guess what, we dont feel it, see it, hear it, or anything else it.
Neutrinos have such little effect on matter that their one of the hardest types of particles to detect.
What do you think a neutrino laser would do? It’ll GO THROUGH YOU. Nothing…maybe one random molecular damage hit, 1 in a billion. There are people running around with signs and shrilly screaming that the world is going to end. With all due respect, if one of you is reading this blog right now, I would like to smack you. Hard.
First of all, what you people are frothing at the mouth about is the CERN lasers and particle accelerators creating either mini black holes or stranglets. Now, why in gods name would you protest against the neutrino laser? Its seriously not able to interact with ordinary matter much. Particle acclerators, sure, theres a minute chance that it could happen. Stranglets are theoretical objects, and high speed impacts could perhaps create quark matter. This is not strangelets. Black holes. Lets see, steven hawking first theorized about these things. Tiny black holes that have a fraction of the suns mass. Their properties are similar to normal black holes, only they vaporize in microseconds. Their size and matter within itself expells in its emissions. There wouldnt be any black hole.
Again, its absolutely nonsensical to protest the neutrino laser, and second of all what are they going to do about it?
Yes, the United States Government is going to ban all mini black holes or stranglets. All such objects are hereby illegal and will be considered contraband. Creation or transportation of such objects will be punishable with a fine no less than 2 trillion dollars and lifetime prison sentence.
*Provided the world still exists
It just aint going to happen. Honestly, think about it. Then, email me if you still think this way. I’m bored. 😉
