But I always liked the larger one to the right better, probably because it looks like a spaceship out of a 50s SF flick, maybe a precursor to the lunar landers. What’s that one called?

Thank you for your original thoughts.

Plaga’s concerns — http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.1415

A recent request that I made to CERN to improve their report from basing safety assurance on estimates in which we have only 99% confidence (kilogauss magnetic fields in three DA white dwarfs) has fallen on deaf ears also. Perhaps it relates to internal politics at CERN — or considered an academic exercise not in CERN’s interests.

An external safety assessment by an independent body such as the IAEA would seem the next most appropriate measure. I would suggest Ban Ki-Moon is far more concerned with the tinder box that is the Senkaku Islands right now — which IMHO should be made an independent nature reserve to resolve the dispute.

I had not fully understood the implications of physical black hole research until I wrote the blog Debunking the Black Hole Interstellar Drive (http://lifeboat.com/blog/2012/09/debunking-the-black-hole-interstellar-drive).

Only then did I realize how much we don’t understand how to handle a real black hole.

Theoretical black hole research is acceptable and warranted to reach an understanding of how to handle, control and manage small black holes.

But experimental black hole research is a case for End OF Humanity (EOH) event. Experimental black holes are more dangerous than nuclear weapons, and such experimental research must be stopped immediately.

Otto E. Rössler, thank you for raising the awareness on this issue.
