Subject: [LF] The compliance with EU materials dictates and the
precautionary principal

Just a little food for thought.

While we are busily falling into line with materials policy dictates
from Europe based on the precautionary principal, I thought you might
find it interesting to see what is taking place in Europe with total
disregard for the same principal.

As you are probably aware the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project blew
up last year during commissioning. The collider is able to collide
particles with energy levels up to I believe 17TeV, and is in the
process of being repaired prior to re-commissioning.

At this power the scientists involved are expecting to find new
particles and are also anticipating the production of 5 dimensional
black holes as an outcome.

The attached reference link is to the high energy particle physics site.
The paper entitled "On the Possibility of Catastrophic Black Hole Growth
in the Warped Brane-World Scenario at the LHC" Describes the "likely"
size of such black holes and assures that they are not liable to reach a
"critical mass"
of 100Kg - at which point presumably everything in the area would be
sucked into said black hole swiftly followed by the rest of the solar
system.....they did not probe that scenario...

Here are the links:

and...

http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.2948


No I am not joking this is a real paper on a real site - and I for one
just hope that their assumptions and math about particles they have
never seen are correct.

So much for the "precautionary principal"!
