[kj] Black Hole Chaos

[Brendan Quinn]

Zappa:

 

Well right about that time, people,
A fur trapper
Who was strictly from commercial
(Strictly Commershil)
Had the unmitigated audacity to jump up from behind my igloo
(Peek-a-Boo)
And started in to whippin' on my fav'rite baby seal
With a lead-filled snow shoe

 

Love it :-)

Or Jaz Coleman's "Underworld"...they're virtually the same thing

It was on TV last night. 

Was quite interesting. 
I missed a good chunk of it some I'm probably missing something fundamental 
out or have all this completely wrong but basically ... (switch off now if 
potanga-mangled science bores you) 

The famous E = MC2 (Energy = Mass x the speed of light squared) shows that 
mass & energy are the same thing. 
Anything with mass contains a huge amount of energy & conversely massive 
amounts of energy can create mass. 
As Bill Bryson put it rather nicely in his brilliantly pleb proof, simple to

understand 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' (which I highly recommend)

"... if you are an average-sized adult you will contain within your frame...

enough energy to explode with the force of 30 very large hydrogen bombs, 
assuming you knew how to liberate it & really wanted to make a point" 

We know all the sub atomic particles that make up everything, but not the 
glue that holds these bits together - that binds these little bits into 
solid, tangible things. In finding out they'll discover more of how the 
universe was made. 
Like this guy said on the TV, "It's too complicated to fathom out now, the 
easiest way is to go back to the beginning & look at it" 
So they're re-creating a mini 'big bang' 

This thing they're building is 7 times more powerful that the biggest, erm, 
thingy machine (those things they fire atoms round tracks with) we have 
today which is 6 km in diameter 
(Hosannas! I remembered the name of the thingy - particle accelerator! ) 
 in the hope that they will find the glue they've been theorising about. 
One side affect of this massive release of energy is the possibility of 
creating a black hole. 
They were saying that if it does create a black hole it will disappear as 
soon as it materialises. Phew! 
Thank god scientists are never wrong...

PS - you bastard, I now have Europe's 'The Final Countdown' stuck in my 
head!
