If power-lines can create PLHR Powerline Harmonic Radiation signatures in the magnetosphere it does make me wonder if LHC would leave a trace in atmospheric plasma. Even earthquakes have pre-signatures detectable in the ionospheric plasma.

“Electromagnets at the LHC need to be this cold to be superconducting, or at peak efficiency, in order to deliver extremely high magnetic fields in the 27 km ring of 1200 giant magnets and thousands of smaller ones, at 8.33 Teslas or about 200,000 times the earth’s magnetic field strength.”

It would be interesting if the shift of magnetic north increased it’s speed due to some effect. Or imagine magnetic north centering on LHC, now that would be a trip and one hell of a ride. I had a dream years ago that I was sent back in time from the future to just before a major catastrophe to discover it’s source and there was a global communications blackout due to an electromagnetic burst being sent off the planet. However dreams are dreams right? Not reality.

I hope it works after all, I’m planning a (now postponed) party to celebrate our continued existance on our fine planet in the wake of any evaporating black holes. It will probably work fine, besides we’ve gotten plenty of research done with Tevatron without any major catastrophies.

Well, a local ripple isn’t enough to flip the field, since that’s generated by flows in and around the Earth’s core. Which is mostly VERY heavy (compressed) iron. Face it. The LHC is one very small potato in a 5,000,000-gallon stew.
