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.

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.


How do the scientists study the universe?

The universe can be explored by astronomical instruments called telescopes, and by space probes sent from earth to other planets. When using telescopes astronomers try to look at the energy being produced by the universe not just in the visible part of the spectrum (where our eyes can see) but at the whole range of electromagnetic radiation. We thus have radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, X-ray telescopes and even some telescopes that are buried deep underground looking for neutrinos. I would like to add one more additional method for investigating universe, it just appeared in my brain.well the method is being used in large hadron collider(which is a particle collider), in which smallest particle of any atom are collided at very high speed.it tells us about the born of the universe, dat how did it happen.They say "At Cern, the Large Hadron Collider could recreate conditions that last prevailed when the universe was less than a trillionth of a second old. It has massive particle detectors called the Compact Muon Solenoid."


How do you destroy the world in eighty days?

The way you can destroy the world with nukes is to combine 17 trillion times the world's nuclear power, send them off to the moon, and speed them up to 1500 MPS while orbiting, then set a course for Earth. In other words, impossible.To destroy the Earth, like really destroy it, you need a an object twice the size of mars, made of iron, to crash into the earth. This would effectivey shatter the crust, shoot the mantle out into space, and make the core a new, miniture planetoid without an atmosphere.Planting 30 nukes in every country around the world. BOOOOM!!


How many tnt to destroy the earth?

It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.


What are some advancements in science?

Scientists have discovered how to take certain cells from one animal and combine them with others to genetically manufacture things like frogs with transparent skin, luminous mice and they have made clones of sheep. look up 'dolly the sheep' for more info. Other adances include the new large hadron collider ie. apocalypse machine (thing that people think will create a black hole that will destroy the world even though there is only a 1 in 50billion chance that that will happen). The large hadron collider is being used t try and find the smallest things on earth. it is a 27km long circular tube in the valleys of switzerland/sweden i forget and they put the smallest particles they can get manually into it and speed it up until it nearly reaches the speed of light and then they put in another one going the opposite way until they collide with such force that they break up even smaller and they keep on doing this until it won't get any smaller or they create a black hole and they all die.

Is a hadron collider safe?

Yes, although it is believed by some that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will create a black hole that will destroy the Earth, this is an incorrect fact. Although it is possible for the LHC to create a black hole, it would be so small (due to the fact that it was made by only two protons smashing into each other) that it would only be there fore one octillionth of a second... which is not long enough for it to consume anything


Do the seven Large Hadron Collider experiments represent the seven seals in Revelation?

No, the seven seals in the Book of the Revelation of Saint John the Divine represent seven 1000 year periods of Earth history. The Second Coming of Christ is supposed to happen in the opening of the seventh seal, which is why we are believed to be living in the last days. "Hadron Collider" is not mentioned in the Bible. :)

Could a comet or asteroid or meteorite destroy the Earth?

Yes they all could destroy Earth depending how big it is, how big the impact is when it hits, and where it hits,but its possible. Hope this helps.


Will the Black Hole Machine destroy Earth?

I believe what you are referring to is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built near CERN. The black hole idea came when scientists speculated on the possible outcome of the experiment. It was speculated that it would do anything from nothing at all to create a black hole that would destroy the earth.Unfortunately there was a major malfunction in one of the cooling pipes that cooled the magnets so it never actually ran properly. Repairs I believe are still on going.As to if it would create a black hole is any ones guess but i find it very unlikely.AnswerI am not sure there is a black hole machine, but if there was, it could possibly destroy earth. It depends on were they use it. they would probably take it out past the next orbit and set it off from earth. It would have to tear the fabric of space( witch is extremely hard and only happens after a supernova) and, obviously, leave a hole. It is a very complicated matter. If you want to know more, start a discussion page and i will help you out.


Is there anything in the universe hotter than the hottest temperature of all time ever in the history of planet earth which was 5500000000000 degrees Celsius or 9900000000000 degrees Fahrenheit?

The hottest temperature that is known to us, and is believed to be the hottest in the universe, is the 5.5 trillion deg Celsius created at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in 2012.


Could a solar flare destroy the earth?

No, a solar flare cannot destroy the Earth. While solar flares can have significant impacts on our technology and infrastructure, they do not have the capability to destroy the planet. Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field provide natural protection from the harmful effects of solar flares.
