The Black Hole Blues*!
5/22/2008 4:27:59 PM


Geeks.

See the first link below. A physicist sings a song about black holes (link is embedded in hyperlinked article). What there was of it was funny--and rather risqué!

But what really unnerved me is the attempted creation of a small black hole on Earth by scientists through use of a planned Large Hadron Collider (see second link)!

Does our fricking hubris know no bounds?!

SCIENTIST: Oh, it's just a TINY black hole.

CONCERNED EARTHLING: But, uh, black holes SUCK things into them, right?

SCIENTIST: Yeah.

CONCERNED EARTHLING: They can grow, get bigger, right?

SCIENTIST: Well, of course.

CONCERNED EARTHLING: So it could--conceivably, theoretically--suck up all we know and are, right? Our planet?

SCIENTIST: Um sure, but we'd control it. Pack it into a LARGE mass and shoot it off into space, where...

CONCERNED EARTHLING: But--excuse me--won't it eventually suck up things around it? Starting with the large mass? Moving on to atoms and molecules. Space dust--dark matter? Grow. As it grows, eventually develop more strength and pull more matter from farther away into it? And why a "large" mass? So, basically you're saying once you create it, you cannot get RID of it?

SCIENTIST: Oh, what a nervous Nelly! We're SCIENTISTS! We know what we're doing!

CONCERNED EARTHLING: But you admit we've never actually SEEN a black hole. It's all circumstantial. That we keep discovering new info about them. How do you know you'll create something you can actually control?

SCIENTIST: Oh, for crying out loud. Fine. We'll just work on creating antimatter, instead....
