<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear Louis, Pedro and FISers,<br><br></div>I have been knowing Otto for about a litle less than 10 years now.<br></div>What I have learned from him is that he has a very subtle sense of humor and wisdom.<br></div>What I conclude about this issue with CERN's LHC is that he wishes nothing more/less than an a priori theoretical proof that the black hole experiments will not lead to a collaps of the Earth.<br></div>He would be more than happy if somebody provides this proof and his concerns about our future appear ungrounded, so that the experiments can continue without any fear about the possible end of humanity. But as he said, nobody has done this until now. Nobody has taken these concerns seriously. The key question for us is why do we allow such experiments without having such a proof? Why do we play with fire in our own kitchen without being sure that we can deal with its breakout? If the accident occurs, then it will be too late to prevent the danger, unless we have a time machine, which is not the case at the moment, I am afraid.<br></div><br></div>So, I think that Otto's appeal can be considered as a challenge not less important than the one with the proof of Fermat's last theorem.<br></div>While there was no danger from keeping this problem unsolved for 300+ years, we may have a real problem now.<br></div>So, why not trying to administer science for being performed in a reasonable way: to not place the horses (experimental science) before the cabin (theoretical science) - which is the case with LHC?<br></div><div>Otto only wishes to say: "We should not do such experients, until we have a theoretical proof or at least to have a computer simulation demonstrating that the chance of having such a disaster is diminishing." And even if this is the case, we should carry a referendum over 4+ billion people on Earth on wether to allow such experiments or not. They are not only an issue ofr a government or of an over-excited community of physicists. Please correct me if I am wrong, Otto. <br></div><div>   <br></div><div>I hope this helps.<br><br></div><div>All the best.<br><br></div><div>Plamen<br><br></div><div><br><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>____________________________________________________________</div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

                              the current attempt of CERN's to produce
                              them near Geneva is a bit curious. </span></div>

                              CERN's attempt? It is the fact that no one
                              finds it curious. I am reminded of an old
                              joke: The professor informs the candidate
                              about the outcome of the oral exam with
                              the following words “You are bound to
                              laugh but you have flunked the test.” I
                              never understood the punchline. I likewise
                              cannot understand why a never refuted
                              proof of the biggest danger of history
                              leaves everyone unconcerned. Why NOT check
                              an unattended piece of luggage on the
                              airport called Earth?
