I forgot about that...
Well, at least this post is leaning toward a positive outcome of the LHC experiments.

Let´s hope this happens and not a world consuming black hole, right?

If it turns out to be like JT said it would, it would be realy astonishing, and i would actually possibly start believing in John Titor. However, seeing as the Hadron Collider has been in the works for 20 years, I cant help but suspect possibly this John Titor character might just be a scientist that has something to do with it, and this is his prediction. He just chose to announce his prediction along with a time-traveling story and blah blah blah.

I find it extremely hard to believe that J.T. was a real time traveler in the first place. Judging from the rate of current technological advancement, the future world of 2036 will be almost identical to our own. Time traveling humans, at this rate, wil not be around for another 1000 years if ever.
Atom sized black holes may very well be produced by the LHC but I doubt that they will be the harbingers of doom that some have speculated on.
Obviously Titor had some scientific background or his hoax would never have been quite so believable, but his obvious evasiveness when faced with even the most ambiguous questions about future events leaves much room for doubt.
I believe that he is/was a physics undergrad at an institution of higher learning such as M.I.T, or perhaps Princeton. A college of unparalleled reputation in the physics academia like these would be most likely. It is very possible that 'John Titor' was actually more than one person, a collective practical joke by bored college students perhaps, or the idle musing of an aging professor, amusing himself in the closing years of his career.
In Robert Silverbergs' story 'The Masks Of Time', a traveller from the future wreaks havoc on a "primitive" humanity. I suggest that the person claiming to be John Titor was very familiar with works of fiction such as this. J.T. made quite a stir though.

you know, i thought of every angle of reason for someone to pull this hoax. i never once considered that. thanks for bringing that to the table

Well, the civil was was supposed to have already occurred, and the Olympics canceled. Like most prophets he was hit and miss. If he gets this one right, I'd be amazed. Seeing as how it's not the first collider, just the largest, I kind of find it hard to believe we'll get much than what the Physics Theorists believe will happen.

great vid! i have always wondered about black holes. mostly because every time i research gravity, all sources state that it is a VERY weak force. i kept thinking, well if gravity is such a wimp, how can it suck in EVERYTHING (including light) from light years away?

I'm looking forward to seeing what discoveries the LHC will lead to. I find it amazing the amount of coverage it has had recently in the build up to today, considering the amount of discussion that has been generated here and elsewhere.

I have very little faith in Titor and think his tale is just too far fetched.

Interesting point regarding gravity being a weak force. I've never actually thought of that in relation to black holes, but no you mention it, the l'il bits of grey matter still remaining are churing around in confusion.

Peace,

BTW - there was a short power outage at work just after 8:30 am this morning - I must confess that my heart did skip a beat LOL. Coincidence?
Who knows...

Maybe the LHC false start (trouble) or something else has already change our time line or destiny. Not a nuclear war, just the Iraq situation and an economic meltdown. Time travel might be missed by our mankind.

I actually put very little stock in his predictions and do not believe he was who he stated.
