Another LHC Shutdown

This time, a bird dropped a piece of bread into outdoor machinery which led to part of the accelerator circuit overheating. That's 2 unrelated shutdown incidents. According to Anders Sandberg, we have to experience 30 unrelated technical failures before we can chalk up the failure of the LHC to anthropic selection. 2 down, 28 to go.

  1. Man am I glad to see someone’s analyzed it and come up with such a comforting number as 30.

  2. piece of bread?
    LHC not safety!ACCELERATOR LHC: “NEW CHEMISTRY” the Review of not considered risks.((http://www.sciteclibrary.ru/rus/catalog/pages/10022.html))
    Yes, in nature are constant collisions of cosmic high energy particles with the motionless bodies. But commensurate energy (≈ 1017 eV) the LHC natural flux of cosmic particles is very rare. In the area of the earth’s surface is 2,000 km2 per-second drop in average only one particle of this energy. Or for every square centimeter of Earth’s surface an average of falls, only one such particle per 600 thousand years. The fall of particles with higher energies is even more rare. For example, at 1 m2 per 1 million years, falling only one particle with E ≈ 1019 ev. And the fact of the collision of high energy cosmic particles with the motionless bodies of space there is only one indisputable fact – single collisions of cosmic micro-high-energy cosmic objects do not lead to some impacts on a macro scale. Natural objects, apparently, are able to compensate for the hit single cosmic particles of any energy.
    And it is very rare, even the rare natural phenomenon formal mathematical procedures can be massive, multiplying by the number of astronomical objects in the universe and the cosmological time. It is this mathematical procedure – use of large numbers, is central to the safety reports CERN. But from any mathematical procedures essence of the physical phenomenon does not change – single and scattered cosmic collision of high energy particles from space objects are isolated and scattered collisions.
    2. The flux density of high-energy particle accelerator in the LHC is 38 orders of magnitude higher than the equivalent energy flux density (equivalent energy) of cosmic rays. Billions of tons of natural uranium ore, but there is a crust with a low concentration of uranium bezopasny.va one kilogram of concentrated U-235 is the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
    3. Head-on collisions of particles, as in kolladerah in nature there. This is an artificial phenomenon, which invented the Budker, Russian physicist.
    4. And if the physicists themselves convinced, and convincing the public that the experiments at the collider and as safe as natural phenomena, they are obliged to adhere strictly to their experiments, the scope of these safe natural phenomena – the bombardment of high-energy particles stationary target with an intensity of less than 1 particle minute. But all that behind these safe natural framework – is from the devil.
    Conclusion.
    Nature does not put any “LHC-experiments .” And from the fact that there is no nature, you can expect anything. Therefore, the safety of LHC – an open question, whose solution is given to chance.
    Large Hadron Collider is the Large Hadron Roulette, which may fall Large Zero.

  3. Was it just me, or did that sound like a barely cogent, maniacal rant?

  4. I feel bad that there are so many Russian quacks out there and I am a Russian. The prior probability that I am a quack should be evaluated as higher than if I were, say, British.

  5. You gave nice ideas here. I done a research on the issue and learnt most peoples will agree with your blog.

  6. Hi, i think that i noticed you visited my site so i got here to “return the prefer”.I am trying to to find things to enhance my web site!I assume its good enough to make use of some of your ideas!!

  7. What’s up, I just wanted to mention, you’re dead wrong. Your blog doesn’t make any sense.
