Yes, we certainly need a lot more information. And that is why the LHC has been built!
You are right that black holes warp time, but remember, even if the LHC can produce a black hole, it will be an extremely small one that wouldn't even warp time a millimeter away.
The LHC simply hasn't the energy to create a large black hole, that much we know.

I recently changed operating system from Win XP to Fedora Core 4, but now all my LHC units fail with the following code:

message process exited with code 240 (0xf0)

Please, can anyone tell me what's wrong here? The error happens 30 sec to 5 min into the unit. I run Einstein without any trouble (and have for a couple of weeks). I am a total Linux newbie :-(

Thanks,

But remember, not all people have their machines running for 24 hours a day. How long did the recent batch of units last? About 2 weeks, I think, so I believe a million units could well last for a month.

Wow!!! That sounds great, they should be able to last for some weeks. :-)
How long will the work units be, 100.000 or 1 million turns?

I must say I disagree with you on this (except your last sentence). There are so many other projects with loads of work to do that we shouldn't waste any processing power on redundant work - else it will be like Seti Classic, crunching just for the sake of crunching.

But I'm certainly looking forward to some more LHC units so I can climb higher on the top users list ;-)

Edit: Speaking of the top users list: I have completely disappeared from it today! I should be between number 200 and 201 total credits, but I'm nowhere to be seen except in the RAC list. I guess that's what happens when I brag too much of my position :-D
