commission of experts in the article “Review of Speculative Disaster Scenarios at RHIC” on Reviews of Modern Physics, excludes that the experiments being conducted at Brookhaven Nat’l Labs in Long Island, could trigger the destruction of the planet (in fact, the creation of a drop of strange matter, composed of “strange” quarks, with a negative electrical charge would engulf an atomic nucleus, releasing energy and emitting a positron, thus returning to a negative charge and engulfing another nucleus and so on until it devours the entire planet in a few seconds; the phenomenon is explained by the fact that the high-density ued quarks occupy increasingly higher energy levels until they exceed the rest mass of the s quark, at which point it is advantageous for the system to transform the ued quarks into s quarks through the weak force, decreasing the energy of the system; the point is that at Brookhaven only drops of strange matter with a positive charge can be produced).
