Story behind the song
" Humanity has always been inclined to good old-fashioned the-end-is-near hysteria. The latest cause for concern is that the earth and our galaxy will be gobbled up by an ever-increasing black hole . Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) laboratory in Geneva will switch on,at new record high-energy levels , the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) a $9 billion particle accelerator that will send beams of protons careening around a 17-mile underground ring, crash them into one another to re-create the immediate after effects of the Big Bang, and then monitor the debris in the hopes of learning more about the origins and workings of the universe. Critics of the LHC say the high-energy experiment might create a mini black hole that could expand to dangerous, Earth-eating proportions. Otto Rossler, a German chemist at the Eberhard Karis University of Tubingen, filed a lawsuit against CERN with the European Court of Human Rights that argued, with no understatement, that such a scenario would violate the right to life of European citizens and pose a threat to the rule of law. Two American environmentalists filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Honolulu seeking to force the U.S. government to withdraw its participation in the experiment. The lawsuits have in turn spawned several websites, chat rooms and petitions and they have led to alarming headlines around the world (Britain's Sun newspaper: "End of the World Due in 9 Days") http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article1630897.ece " Hawking Radiation", a phenomenon named for the British physicist Stephen Hawking, theorizes that black holes not only swallow up light, energy and matter around them, but also leak it all back out at an accelerating pace. A U.S. law suit is pending, but CERN spokesman James Gillies said that even if it is successful, the experiment will go ahead without U.S. participation." "The U.S. court has no jurisdiction over our equipment. It could pull American scientists out of the experiment, but that would just be a great shame for them. The LHC holds the promise of substantially enriching humanity by providing insight into the mysteries of the universe. It's a tremendously exciting time for physicists here and around the world. Scientists believe the LHC's results will help fill in gaps in the "Standard Model", the far-reaching set of equations on the interaction of subatomic particles that is the closest that modern physics comes to a testable "theory of everything." For example, scientists believe the LHC will produce a particle, the "Higgs Boson", that will end debate over how matter in the universe acquires mass. It could even provide evidence for more ambitious theories of the universe, such as string theory, which unites quantum mechanics , general relativity,and the previously known laws of the small and large that are currently incompatible in the Standard Model.
