Dear Director-General,
We share your concern for the safety of the forthcoming experiment at theLHC with 7 Tev and large luminosity. May we requst the courtesy of your response to this correspondence.
Please review, "Quantum tunnelling towards an exploding Universe?"by Malcolm J. Perry (1986) (Nature, 320, April 24, 1986 p.679) which indicates the production of supernova via the formation of a transition towards de Sitter space with sufficient energy in the LHC to overcome the potential barrier towards de Sitter. This would be of a classical nature and would hence be a function of energy.
Our thanks for your prompt actions in this most tragic concern. May we request your interest in the onset of the very great energy increments now underway in 2007 at CERN. There is a very great probability that your experimental apparatus will generate a supernova thus producing a very great and grave public endangerment to the personnel of the laboratory, their families, the United States of America and also the population of our planet.
A physicist, Dr. Walter Wagner,
has already brought suit against this forthcoming disaster in New York State and also in California. He states that the research is being brought forward at Fermilab without regard for the potential danger only to get the research underway. May we very respectfully call on the good offices of all concerned citizens of the world to halt this reckless plunge into the unknown on behalf of the families of all mankind.
In this connection, may we present an alternate hypothesis to that presented by Mike Perricone in the FermiNews (The Universe Lives On, June19, 1998). This postulation may be termed the high-energy postulation wherein the equations show the attractive properties of the high-energy condition termed de Sitter space.
It would, therefore, under this postulation be found that high-energy physics experimentation now coming on line at CERN would have a greater probability of releasing a supernova upon our planet and solar system by breaching the potential barrier towards the high-energy condition (de Sitter Space) than initiating a transition towards the low-energy condition. This hypothesis is based on the work ofAlbert Einstein and Willem de Sitter.
Their work has proven uniformly correct in the realm of physics and would necessarily be found to be true in relativistic cosmology. (Blau, S. K., Guendelman, E. I. & Guth, A. H (1987), Physical Review D. Particle and Fields, 3, 1747-1766.
To quote in this connection from Alan Guth who initiated inflationary cosmology, "one might guess that the gravitational repulsion of the false vacuum would push outward on the bubble wall, so, if the repulsion were strong enough. Not so however, say the equations of general relativity. The gravitational repulsion causes the false vacuum to swell, but the repulsion does not extend beyond the false vacuum. Objects outside the bubble wall are attracted towards the bubble, and the gravitational force on the bubble is inward." (Burns, J.O. (1990) Astronomy, 18, 28-37)
The possibility of initiating a transition towards the lower-energy condition from high-energy physics experimentation may still be present, yet this kind of transition would have far lower probability value according to the aforementioned equation.
May we very respectfully request that these transitions be modeled viacomputer simulation before the Tevatron at the Fermi National AcceleratorLaboratory continues with any further experimentation at this time.
To avoid any bias in understanding, publication of these results in a peer-reviewed journal of highest repute is most respectfully recommended to members of the staff at CERN. It may be helpful to clarify the philosophical position and astrophysical energetics instrinsic to de Sitter space in the standard cosmological model in this postulation of transition from de Sitter space as generative of supernova in high-energy physics experimentation.
A philosophical position may be cited from, G. W. F. Hegel (The philosophyof history, New York: Dover, 249, 1956) ..." there is no essential existence which does not manifest itself." The very large energies derived by Willem de Sitter for the equations describing the false vacuum of deSitter space yield an energy density of 1.69 x 10^126 for eV (electronvolts) per cm^3. (Gott, R. (1982)
Creation of open universes from deSitter space, Nature, 295, 304-307. In Waldrop. M.M., (1982) Bubbles upon the river of time, Science, 215, 4536, 1082-1083), the energy density of de Sitter space is given as: 5 x 10^31 kelvin and 3 x 10^93 grams per cm^3,
converted to eV via e=mc^2 which is Albert Einstein's famous equation.
This energy would then find expression in the observable universe. In the sense of this analysis, it would be quite unlikely that energies of this order of magnitude would remain hidden should a transition be formed in the potential barrier towards de Sitter space. This would serve as an immediate and ever present danger for the investigator and constitutes a public endangerment as well. This is based on the mainstream theory of universe formation by Professor R. Gott of Princeton University in which each bubble universe forms smoothly out of de Sitter space. A potentially infinite number of universes may form in de Sitter space. In a topological sense, de Sitter space is cobordant at each point with the continuum (our universe).
DeSitter space is then prevented by a large potential barrier from forming an intrusional event into the continuum. The essential hypothesis of this formulation is that with sufficiently great energetics, a classical breach in the potential barrier towards de Siitter space will be formed thus releasing the force of Type Ia supernova upon the terrestrial ecosphere, the solar system and those nearby stars. These energies are from de Sitterspace, therefore; the energies of the accelerator only serve as a trigger for their release.
With sufficient energies, under this postulation, we discover that the accelerator is in the Einstein de Sitter universe, as it is now termed, and we have gone from particle physics as our governing theory to relativistic cosmology.
No harm will result from computer modelling of this alternate hypothesis for generation of Type Ia supernovae as a result of the formation of a transition towards de Sitter space. Yet clearly, vast harm may result form our continuing to plunge into the unknown without proper foresight concerning this possibility.
All of the children will thank you for your kind offices on their behalf. Please do what you can for them in this connection. Your kind attention and consideration in this most salient matter are mostgratefully appreciated. All best wishes for you and your family. With greatest respect,
Paul W. Dixon, Ph.D.
