Frame Dragger said:site could turn a profit with some advertising
Borek said:Tin foil hats?
Actually site has quite a lot of traffic (see alexa.com) - I am surprised.

[THE BLACK HOLE CASE: THE INJUNCTION AGAINST THE END OF THE WORLD
http://arxiv.org/pdf/0912.5480
There have been some reputable scientists along the way claiming the case against LHC black holes was not full proof; their story and the story of the LHC responders is discussed, followed by in interesting discussion of how the legal system might approach the argument and assess risk.
Hey it was only a joke Don't forget that how impressive LHC may be for humanmheslep said:Long, but very good legal brief by UT law professor up on arxiv:

Hans de Vries said:Hey it was only a joke Don't forget that how impressive LHC may be for human
standards and how high it's scientific value could be. The energies it produces
are absolutely minute to what occasionally happens above our heads in the
atmosphere.
10 4 eV: Your old television's Cathode Ray Tube
1012 eV: Large Hadron Collider
1020 eV: Highest Energy Cosmic Rays in our atmosphere.
The energy ratio between the electrons in the TV in your living room and the LHC is
the same as the ratio between the LHC energies and those of the cosmic rays hitting
our atmosphere.

Yes I thought 50 joules was the highest CR ever recorded. That was indeed the first argument used by the folks in the LHC camp - that if it were possible to create some catastrophic event at the LHC higher energy CRs would have done it already. As you'll see if you dig deeper, the existence of CR's by themselves do not foreclose all possibilities of catastrophe:Hans de Vries said:Hey it was only a joke Don't forget that how impressive LHC may be for human

Perhaps useful for passing around to people wondering what the fuss is about.

The LHC, or Large Hadron Collider, is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It is located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Switzerland.
The LHC is not directly related to music videos. However, it is used by artists and musicians as a source of inspiration and a way to explore the intersection of science and art.
The LHC does not create music videos. However, artists and musicians can use data, images, and concepts from the LHC to create music videos that showcase the beauty and complexity of particle physics.
The latest music video from the LHC is constantly changing, as new artists and musicians continue to be inspired by the LHC. However, some popular music videos that have been created using LHC data include "Symmetry" by CERN physicist James Beacham and "Particle Man" by They Might Be Giants.
You can watch the latest music video from the LHC by searching for it on YouTube or other video streaming platforms. You can also follow CERN or other organizations on social media to stay updated on new music videos inspired by the LHC.
