HI

Our Mediterranean connection Octavio St Laurent took a bit of time of from his busy schedule producing house anthems recently, and took a visit to research the Large Hadron Collider, being built now in Switzerland, near Geneva. We conducted the following interview to clear up some misconceptions surrounding this massive particle collier.

How big is this thing?

Octavio: The actual particle accelerator has a circumference is 27 kms - and it's 150 meters under the ground. Most of it is actually located in France (see image below). I mean, this thing is costing about 8 billion US dollars. It's crazy. When I visited you had these cooped up scientists doing jogs around the thing, playing soccer. It was surreal, it felt like the machinery was going to start sucking people up, or that the gravity was all of a sudden going to break up.

What does it do?

Octavio: Well, I mean there's the Higgs boson - how many are there? Do particles have SUSY partners? These are the questions we don't know the answers to yet. Basically though it's being built to help us learn how to make black saturns and black holes, and to get into those new dimensions. We're sitting on the 4th dimension, wasting all this space we don't even know how to contextualize yet. We're out looking for it here.















Is it Dangerous?

Octavio: For sure it is. I mean you've got these particles of energy spinning around this thing, you've got these massive magnets. What happens when you start seeing these people folding themselves out of this plane? They're going to make a black hole down there, it's going to swallow up the planet. It's going to eat the universe. You're going to see these people pushing carts full of strange matter, strangelets spiraling out of their eyeballs, burning holes into the fabric of space time. This thing is going to unfurl like a fireman's hose gone wrong, and spew a liquid dimension all over reality. Imagine waking up to the last day on Earth.

Concievably, could this thing create magnectic monopoles that could catalyze proton decay? Or even trigger a transition into a different quantum mechanical vacuum?

Octavio: For sure.
