What exactly is an atom smasher?

Okay so I tried googling it, and well I'm no scientist, and I don't understand most of what the articles say.

I really do want to know more about this machine.

What is it's purpose, and why do people think the world is going to come to an end because of it?







Dammit, I feel dumb, but I want to learn!


Sarah

If a Black Hole was created, it wouldn't do anything and by Hawking's Radiation it would fizzle out within micro seconds. Such 'primordial' Black Holes would have a very small mass. The gravitational attraction of Black Holes is also depended on it's mass, hence the degree of space time curvature. The only reason why light falls in is because of the warped curvature seeing as light uses this '4th dimensional medium' in which to travel - so it would travel straight into a Black hole.

'Massful' particles are merely affected by the gravity - although I can't understand why a Constant mass has it's gravitational attraction exponentially increased just by it being compressed.

Please advise?

Hi Serious, there's something 'bout your first paragraph....

So far I agree.

You infer a black hole (bh) is eternal.

Hawking proved that as a bh "acquires" mass, the negative charge of this mass accumulates, and as it accumulates, it eventually dissipates the bh, while the positive is radiated back out into the Universe, (Hawking Radiation (HR))

Would you agree or disagree that HR applies to all bh regardless of life duration or mass?

Therefore no singularity?

Once a singularity is created the bh doesn't compress, it stretches.
It is in this stretching that quantum mechanics (qm) takes over, and increases the g force.

Kip Thorne has new insight in the workings of bh. Essentially he is saying that once a singularity is created the bh becomes invisible, again qm.
I caught it in one of his interviews, but have been unable to refer back to it. Do you have any information on this?

Ummm, SS has been banned, so he won't be answering your question.

So is my post tainted?...................

Are my observations valid?.............

Who now will pick up the flag? .......

Hello Sarah:

I noticed nobody answered your question...

We wanna know what makes up the Universe. We're still trying to figure it out. So, when they smash atoms into each other, particles are given off that haven't been identified yet, and they wanna KNOW what those particles are.

Will this research make your life better??? I think so.
