    No, but it is responsible for The Mandela effect when it was turned on...................

    The Mandela effect occurs when a large group of people believe an event occurred when it did not.

    Here are a few examples...................

    1. Jif vs Jiffy

    Some people swear that the peanut butter was actually named “Jiffy” and not just “Jif.”

    2. Oscar Mayer vs Oscar Meyer

    “Some people insist the second lyric of the famous jingle, Mayer is spelled with an ‘e’ instead of an ‘a’.

    3. Sex in the City

    The correct name of the show is Sex and the City but people have sworn they’ve seen legitimate merchandise with the show name spelled otherwise.

    5. The Monopoly Man doesn’t have a monocle

    People can’t seem to grasp how the Monopoly man is monocle-less, when they’ve distinctly remembered him wearing one.

    7. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar Wins

    Despite winning his first Oscar award in 2016 for his role in The Revenant, many people believed that he had won for his other films

    8. Darth Vader doesn’t say “Luke, I am your father.”

    “Luke, I am your father” is probably one of the greatest misremembered lines in Star Wars. the line is simply “No. I am your father.”

    9. The Sinbad genie movie doesn’t exist

    People swear that there was a genie movie starring comedian Sinbad. However, it was never made.

    10. The Ford Logo

    Do you remember the curly wave at the end of the ‘F’ in the Ford logo? If you don’t, chances are you aren’t alone. However, in reality, the little flair has been part of the original logo since the 1990s.


    11. M.A.S.H.

    Many M.A.S.H. viewers remember the death of one of the main loveable characters Colonel Walter Radar O’Reilly portrayed by actor Gary Burghoff. However, the character remained alive and well until his send-off episodes in season 8 of the series!

    12. JFK’s car assassination

    There is a common misremembering that there were only four passengers in the car. The truth is, the total number of passengers in the car were six. These included the driver, two secret service agents, Texas Governor at the time John Connally and his wife, Nellie Connally, plus President Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy..

    13. “Lucy, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do!”

    Was never actually said on the iconic sitcom, I Love Lucy.

    14. Meet the Flintstones!

    The name of this beloved animated family as the “Flinstones”, the actual name of this prehistoric family
    is the “Flintstones.”

    There has been 101 new black holes discovered in our neighbourhood in less than the passed 8 weeks since the LHC returned to operation. One of them is new. The first new black hole to be discovered this close to Earth and the other 100 is a mysterious coincidence.

    The LHC is responsible for determining the nature of reality itself, down to the last penny, while there is a giant hole in Texas where physicists toss their spare change and make a wish.

    The giant black hole in Sagittarius A, makes the rest of the galaxy look like so many tiny LED lights someone hung on it for decoration. Inhabitants of black holes have been asking themselves the same question, whether their experiments are responsible for creating the planets and stars.

    I thought that such things were caused by Gay marriage, and/or Barack Obama.

    (PhysOrg.com) -- Just bringing up the topic of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) creating a black hole that destroys the Earth might seem unscientific and out of place on a science news website. After all, the subject is generally considered to be out of place in the particle physics community, since peer-reviewed studies have shown that there is no significant risk of an LHC doomsday scenario.

    But, right or wrong, many people continue to voice their concern about the LHC’s potential to produce a worldwide catastrophe. Some of these concerns clearly go overboard, stemmed by fear and ignorance. In the midst of this extremism, is it possible for someone outside the physics community to analyze the LHC’s risk of producing an Earth-swallowing black hole in a rational way?
    Eric E. Johnson, an assistant professor of law at the University of North Dakota, has undertaken this task from a legal point of view. He has recently published a paper in the Tennessee Law Review in which he investigates how the courts might handle the LHC case and other future cases of largely unprecedented, potentially dangerous sci-fi-like experiments. The 90-page paper is highly readable for non-scientists, and is available at arxiv.org. Johnson, who admits that he is “unanxious” about a doomsday scenario, has two reasons for writing the paper: first, to present a kind of case study for debate among lawyers; and second, to prepare to solve such a legal case in real life.

    “I intend to provide a set of analytical and theoretical tools that are usable in the courts for dealing with this case and cases like it,” Johnson writes. “If litigation over the LHC does not put a judge in the position of saving the world, another case soon might. In a technological age of human-induced climate change, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, artificially intelligent machines, and other potential threats, the odds of the courts confronting a real doomsday scenario in the near future are decidedly non-trivial. If the courts are going to be able to play their role in upholding the rule of law in such super-extreme environments, then the courts need analytical methods that will allow for making fair and principled decisions despite the challenges such cases present.”

    The Science

    In his paper, Johnson begins with an overview of the background of the LHC, as well as the lab at which it’s located, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. This overview is followed by a short history of one of the LHC’s predecessors, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, and then a brief explanation of alleged dangers such as strangelets, magnetic monopoles, bosenovae, and vacuum transitions. Regarding the safety of these potential disaster scenarios, CERN’s argument is the same for each of them: high-energy cosmic-ray collisions (which are similar to those produced in particle colliders) have been occurring in Earth’s atmosphere throughout the planet’s history - so anything dangerous that the LHC could create would already have been produced by cosmic rays long ago. The fact that the Earth still exists is living evidence of the safety of these scenarios.

    Kurt Vonnegut Jr wrote about a fictitious substance "Ice 9" that didn't melt at anywhere near room temperature, and one crystal fell in the ocean and froze the entire world into a block of ice. Physicists have determined that its theoretically possible to create a form of matter in the LHC, that could freeze the entire universe into a solid block of matter, but its unlikely.

    The simple truth is, singularities are easy to make, but black holes need a lot of mass and energy. Its even possible to change the past measurably in the lab, and perform comedy nobody has ever dreamed of.

    I do love your answer.
    The quest will continue as we need to know more.

    Some hypotheses involving additional space dimensions predict that micro black holes could be formed at energies as low as the TeV range, which are available in particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider. Popular concerns have then been raised over end-of-the-world scenarios (see Safety of particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider). However, such quantum black holes would instantly evaporate, either totally or leaving only a very weakly interacting residue.[citation needed] Beside the theoretical arguments, the cosmic rays hitting the Earth do not produce any damage, although they reach energies in the range of hundreds of TeV.

    Cosmic rays are related to sharks, but are vegetarians.

    I find it difficult to believe the earth has enough potential (mainly thinking about energy) in itself to generate a black hole. Maybe if other resources could be used, maybe if other mass-energy in the universe could be used, or dark energy could be manipulated, could a meaningful (ie. dangerous, perceptible by humans) black hole be generated. Of course then we'd be in deep shit!
    But for now some doubt black energy even exists, and we don't have the technology to smash whole planets together, so we're probably safe.
    Or something like that.

    The first Maxwell's Demons have already been created in the laboratory. Theoretically, you could heat and cool your entire house for centuries, without using any energy, by merely allowing the heat to either move in or out of the house instead. Black holes ain't nothin' but mud holes, and what's coming will be much more personal. Its possible to change the past measurably.

    Vonnegut attended Harvard, which is why his work is so depressing, and his audience would not have it otherwise.

    Yeah Kurt was a weird one.
    But remember he was captured by the Germans in WWII during the Batlle of the Bulge and survived the fire bombing of Dresden by hiding in the meat locker of the slaughterhouse he was captive in. Enough to depress anyone. Everyone read his stuff in the middle 60's.

    His work is mathematical, and my work can be used to dissect it like a frog in biology, and show exactly how he manipulates your emotions and popular opinions, for fun and for profit. His math is too limited, but that's what makes it exciting to design AI that can imitate him better, and manipulate popular opinion. Westerners often say that anything mathematical can be expressed in words, but have no real clue what that means, and the marketing potential is endless.
