Supernova From Experimentation At Fermilab

SUPERNOVA FROM EXPERIMENTATION AT FERMILAB, CERN, BROOKHAVEN AND HERA

Also in an Historical Context we can examine the Chernobyl meltdown which may still extinguish all life on earth when the radioactive mass achieves the China Syndrome and burns through to the underlying soil and bedrock. It is predicted that the resulting radioactive emission will make the Northern Hemisphere of the earth uninhabitable as a first result of this melt through. The radioactive mass is resting on a slab of concrete which is gradually being eaten away. We would like to know who is reponsible for this contingency."Musing over Chernobyl, Legasov came to the conclusion that it was "impossible to find a single culprit." Sakharov would have to have named himself a culprit, had he not taken responsibility on himself. The issue of scientists' responsibility in Chernobyl is still waiting for a definitive history." Chernobyl Record: The Definitive History of the Chernobyl Catastrophe
Richard F. Mould

Thus by extension it would be unlikley that anyone would be found to be responsible for Type Ia Supernova generation at Fermilab. Somehow it would just happen by the process of historical causation!!!

All Best Wishes for the Holiday Season!!!

Merry Christmas to you too, Paul. Keep on plugging away. You might even convince somebody one day.

I sort of like Paul's POV becuase at least one person here see the near term (coming decade) global future blacker than me But i blame GWB, not ANL*.:bugeye:

* I still think of them as Argon National Labs but guess they are called FermiLabs now.
 
Paul: Stick to complaining about the Particle acceleration experiments. There is enough ignorance about those devices & DeSitter space to perhaps convince a few people.

Anybody with minimal peritent knowledge knows that the following is nonsense.

From a scientific perspective, we may note a progression of events over time. In general, therefore, there may be some evidence from prior disasters created in high-energy physics which would point to even greater disasters in the future as we proceed to experiment with ever higher energy levels. Please search for "Chernobyl Concrete Slab" on the internet. Thus we note:

It would be nice if the people at FermiLab, RHIC, and LHC directed their attention to helping to stabilize the Chernobly sarcophagus, which is a noted health physics problem of some magnitude.

It is uncertain how long the existing structure can stand, though it or a replacement should remain in place for a few more centuries.

Likewise, it would be nice if they could devote some of their attention to fusion energy, along the lines of the forthcoming ITER, or the Fusor types, or other prospective fusion energy source.

That would be a lot less riskier than their current bent.
 
They are simply going to have to find a way to remove the material a piece at a time. Encase the pieces in glass. There is absolutely no way to predict what the mess will eventually do.

Immediately upon hearing of the concept for Supernnova generation from high-energy physics experimentation Arhur C. Clarke the legendary science ficion writer as well as the inventor of the geosynchronous satellites, referred to them as being the result of an industrial accident. Please review the evidence in this regard as an extension of the previous post on Cherynobyl and its aftermath.

An image of a Type Ia Supernova is posted at the top of this blog to illustrate these phenomena. They are some 2.4 times larger than a Type II Supernovae even though they originate from objects of about one solar mass
and show no trace of hydrogen at maximum luminosity. They outshine their host galaxy for several days or more!

Spectroscopic and photometric evidence indicates that Type Ia supernovae frequency is as low as 10% of total supernovae occurrence

Clarke, the legendary science fiction writer as well as the inventor of the geosynchronous satellites, referred to them as being the result of an industrial accident. Where the frequecy of ocurrence is as low as 3 or 4 Type Ia Supernova per year per galaxy this may indicate that perhaps some review process inhibiting their occurrence may be at work.

Current work in the description of Supernovae frequency in our galaxy may be of intrest in this connection.
It may be possible to calculate the statistical expectation for the next Supernova generation by means of a Poisson
Erlang distribution. Please share your results with us if this of interest to you.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, a star exploded. This star exploded so violently that for a few weeks the star outshone its parent galaxy. This type of explosion is called a Supernova. The last one in our galaxy was 400 years ago, making us about 300 years overdue for the next one. On this web page you will find a list of the currently observable supernovae, along with information on their location, reference images, and their last reported brightness. Most of the supernova information found on this page comes from IAU and CBET circulars and occasionally more data can be found on IAU's List of Recent Supernovae web page. Information on the current brightness and much of the background information is provided by SNWeb. These web pages have brought you the latest in supernovae data and images since April 1997"

http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html

"Erlang distribution which describes the waiting time until n events have occurred. For temporally distributed events, the Poisson distribution is the probability distribution of the number of events that would occur within a preset time, the Erlang distribution is the probability distribution of the amount of time until the nth event"

All the children will thank you for your kind efforts on their behalf.

ALL BEST WISHES FOR A MOST HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Supernova From Experimentation At Fermilab

SUPERNOVA FROM EXPERIMENTATION AT FERMILAB, CERN, BROOKHAVEN AND HERA

With an overall interval of 400 years since the last observed Supernova in our Milky Way Galaxy and with the expectation of one every 50years we have an overall probability of observed/expected, 1/8 = 0.125, p = 0.125 as conservative probability estimate. This may be refined using either a Poisson or Gaussian distribution. Given the foregoing errors of observation due to such variables as interstellar dust and smoke, we have a probability that only 12.5 times in a hundred would we have this finding. It is, therefore, more than likely given the observed rate of supernova generation in our galaxy that we should find another Supernova generated within our Galaxy in the near future. Let us hope and pray that it is not our own Type Ia Supernova which completes this statistical expectation!

Dr. Dixon, I was wondering if you read the following article from an interview with a Dr. Cox concerning The Large Hydron Collider. An excerpt and link:
"It is an incredibly exciting machine. It will be turned on next year and run for at least a decade and probably 20 years and the first results - if the machine behaves itself - should start coming out within a year," he added.

If the theories are correct, the machine will create tiny black holes that evaporate and possibly even find particles that offer evidence that the three dimensions known to mankind are just a fraction of those that exist.

"That would be an even bigger headline than the black holes. It could be that there is a whole new universe a millimetre away from our heads but at right-angles to the three dimensions that are here," Dr Cox said....
For the first time in many decades we have built a machine that exceeds our powers of prediction.

"New processes are bound to be discovered. We are truly journeying into unknown territory."
MINI BANGS

* Scientists aim to reproduce miniature versions of the so-called Big Bang, which is thought to have started the universe.

* To do this they will smash protons together at huge speeds along a 27km tube known as a particle accelerator.

* They hope to create tiny black holes or find extra dimensions in the universe.

* They estimate the possibility of accidentally destroying the planet as extremely low.

* The risk is calculated at about 10 to the minus 40 - a 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance.
When I read this, I had to wonder how they could calculate the risk factor when they don't have any reliable predictions of what will be produced.
Edit: Oops, forgot the link:
http://subs.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10400645
 
I do not worry about the effects of energy due to particle accelerator.

What wories me is the possible creation of mini black holes. If they do it, I sure hope Hawking is right about them evaporating.

Ha!
I mean, you just have to laugh at the audacity of this particular species of primate.
I think the odds are probably better than the odds of being destroyed by any other natural catastrophe.
It's a calculated risk. What we learn might well allow us to disperse our species, our ecosystem, to the stars. Thus lowering the odds of losing all our eggs significantly.
 
The risk is actually 50/50.

That is, there is absolutely no way to calculate the risk associated with the LHC destroying our planet. It will be either all or nothing (though not necessarily instantaneously a la Paul's posts). Not knowing what the risk is leaves us to conclude it is halfway between zero risk and certainty.

Some references on the risk, also discussed by myself in earlier posts in this thread, follow, or just google on "negative strangelets LHC":

The logic behind the following escapes me.

The poster of the above concludes that The risk is actually 50/50

I do not know what the odds are on mini black holes evaporating, but I think the odds on Hawking being right on most anything is better than 50-50.

I am sure that I and others can think of many situations that are not 50-50, but for which odds cannot be calculated.
