Re: Large Hadron Collider

ok, if you have little matter, you need to have a lot of energy to create a wormhole or a black whole, lets see what we are working with here:

special relativity tells us that the kinetic energy of a body that is moving at a large fraction of the speed of light, can be approximated by the following formula:
E_k=m \gamma c^2-mc^2=mc^2 \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2}}-1\right)

mass - mass of a proton is 1.67262158X10^-27 kg, there are 1.15X10^11 protons per bunch, lets use that to calculate energy per bunch

velocity will equal to 99.999999% of c or 299792455.00207542m/s

speed of light, lets assume to be 299792458m/s

we get:
E_k = (0.000000000000000192350817kg)*(299792458m/s)^2 \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-((299792455.00207542m/s)/(299792458m/s))^2}}-1\right)

doing some math
E_k=17.287629291300790103401188 \left(\frac{1}{0.0000000199999999}-1\right)

and finally we come to 864381451.599318 J

now i must be missing something, wiki lists 724MJ as energy carried by 2 beams, i am getting 864 per beam per bunch... must be missing something...

must investigate the cause of error, and who is erroneous; must consult expert... Dr. C?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
