Of course not, that's ridiculous. Please note that Earth gets bombarded every day by particles from outer space that have millions of times the energy of anything that the LHC is capable of producing.

"Another Big Bang" would require a tremendous amount of energy - the energy of the entire Universe.

Why are protons being collided in the Large Hadron Collider?

The LHC is the Large Hadron Collider, and it's set up to use large hadrons as "bullets" in experiments. The proton is a "quick and easy" bullet to acquire. It's a hydrogen nucleus, and it's not that hard to come by. Take hydrogen gas and stip off the electron and we're in business. And a proton is a better "bullet" than an electron because it's heavier than the electron by some 1836 times. Bigger "bullets" make for a better "hit" on a target. We've already been accelerating protons for a long time so we know something about that. And now we have a bigger machine to do it with. Actually, the machine will be used on some other atomic nuclei as well, like lead. The trick is to strip off the electrons and then send the remaining nucleus sans electrons into a linear accelerator (along with more of its kind) and then into the different rings that will boost energies to the point where they can be injected into the LHC ring proper for their final "boost" to almost the speed of light.

Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?

yes


Is there another name for a pollution pump from a 1998 Ford Taurus Could this pump cause the check engine light to come on?

another name is smog pump.this could cause light to come on.


What can cause damage for days or months after a large earthquake?

after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!


Why is an embolus dangerous?

They may cause death if they block a major artery, such as the large pulmonary artery that runs through the lungs. They also may cause tissue to die if they prevent blood flow to the area.

Is the biggest magnet strongest or the smallest?

Well that would be the Earth it's self. But the biggest man made magnet is, The Large Hadron Collider in France/Sweden. It is 17 miles in circumference and is a particle collider.


Can the Hadron particle collision cause mini black holes?

We don't know, but probably not. Questions like this are the sorts of things that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were designed to discover. But don't worry; any such mini-black holes would be below the Hawking size limit, and would "evaporate" through Hawking Radiation.

What is the cleanest place on earth?

Comedian Michael McIntyre claims it's Montreal. On a more serious note. The cleanest place on Earth is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Built by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, this colossal collider took 10 years to complete and sits beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva.

What are two primary cause of tsunamis?

An undersea earthquake causing a large displacement of the sea floor can cause a tsunamis. Another cause could be when a large area of cliffs suddenly crashes into the sea, so setting off a displacement of the sea.


Could the Large Hadron Collider destroy the Earth?

No, it can't. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a large (high energy) particle accelerator, and it is the most powerful one ever built on this rock. There is some talk about the LHC creating tiny black holes. The energy of the colliding particles will be really over the top, but a black hole is created when gravity overcomes all other forces to trap and compress a significant quantity of mass into a singularity. The energy of "creation" that appears when the LHC slams stuff together will be too high to allow the gravity associated with the events to actually create a black hole. And this takes into account the increase in mass associated with relativistic velocities. This is similar to the "scare" associated with the test of the first hydrogen bomb (a nuclear fusion weapon). Someone ideated that the intense heat that would cause the fusion events to begin would result in the creation of so much energy that the atmosphere would begin the undergo fusion. This would cause the chain to go out of control and destroy the earth. This did not happen - because it could not. (The "geometry" of the blast is "wrong" for this to occur.) And the LHC creating those little black holes? Keep dreamin' about it. Some numbers on paper suggest things that reality won't support.


What happens if the temperature of a diode increases?

When the amount of current passing through a circuit increases, it generally increases the temperature, and consequently the resistance. Simply stated, it is harder for the current to pass through the circuit if the temperature increases. The Large Hadron Collider uses superconductors to pass current to its electromagnets. A superconductor passes current through its circuit materials with almost no resistance at all, generally by supercooling the circuit materials.


What might cause large amounts of erosion to occur quickly?

A flood might cause a large amount of erosion.


Will there definitely be a black hole on Wednesday 10th September 2008 or are you scientists too clever to make this procedure be safe so no one will be worried of dying at a young age?

The Hadron Collider was turned on successfully on September 10th, and then shut down on the 19th. There was damage, so we won't know anything additional until sometime in mid-2009. It didn't cause a black hole, and I think it is very unlikely that it ever would, although I know some people wrote about the theoretical dangers. I think you can rest safely, and worry about other potentially world-ending tragedies instead. :)


Which type of precipitation typically cause the most damage when it hits the ground?

Hail can cause a large amount of damage if it very large.


What are the three causes of a tsunami?

Tsunami waves can be caused by a major earthquake or landslide on the sea flow. Another cause is from the land slumping into the ocean or a large volcanic eruption.
