oh... oh... You a tricky dude.

I thought the world already ended on 8-8-08 ?
Why are you singing the national-hymn of germany?This machine is awesome! Yes it can make little black holes and no, it will not destroy our world dammit! Why do so many people think that?! Uninformed mob!
well yes. But how will this actually improve life for us in a tangible way?We may better understand the origin of the universe and the nature of matter (or as Brian Cox puts it in his charming accent "What makes stoof stoof")
(What makes stuff, stuff)
Being someone who does work in the sciences, the LHC shouldn't cause any dangers (at least none that 99.9% of the global population should be worried about). The argument of "dangers form the past and future" is currently extremely remote. There is a risk that the energy used may rip space time, but it isn't that great. And if it does rip, (relatively speaking) that time will become a marker in which our future selves maybe able to go back to. Our past selves will be unable to use it, as the technology won't have been invented (can you time travel now? Does anyone now or in the past have a time machine??). Any possible rip is likely to be very small in all quantifiable terms, and random in its placement. For "something" to use the rip, is a extremely long shot (your more likely to score a whole in one on every hole on a golf course while winning every national lottery drawn that day all at the same time).
As for the argument that Funwerkz comes up with simple doesn't work out, due to the amount of material accelerated. In a nuclear device (of any type), the material required is in the order of kilograms, with a uncontrolled chain cascade reaction. In the accelerator, the material accelerated is in the oder of atoms to pico-moles. When the particals used collide, the annihilation of the matter used will produce (hopefully) the theoretical particals that we are looking for (Higgs bosons etc) and radiations that will be detected in the large detector sections. The energy required to accelerate the particals to their collisions speeds is huge, however the energy released (depending on the amount and type of material produced) maybe very small and faint.
The argument over the formation of black holes is very circumspect as the nature of mini-black holes is very theoretical. In some theories (which the media love to pick up on) the small mass of the black hole may cause an exponential growth, eventually consuming the entire solar system. However (and what the media don't like to pick up on), it is more likely that the Hawkins radiation released will make the black hole evaporate before it can form, so very unlikely to expand beyond a millimeter. These theories are still very topical and may be solved with the switch on of the LHC.
Fucking Fuckers trying to play God. Who gives a fuck what happened 14 BILLION years ago. does anyone know how much that is. A WHOLE FUCKING LOT!! Here we are right now. 2008. Enjoy life will you got it instead of spending everyday 300 ft in the ground. Scientists are great people and i respect them but they need to stop trying to control nature and scaring people. Someone should destroy the machine.
The whole point of science is to question our very existence, they are not trying to control nature they are trying to explain it and I cant belive they would want to scare anyone, what would be the point. Many people are interested in what happened at the begining of the universe, this is not a small group of people performing secret experiments for no pourpose whats so ever these are important questions being asked and if they are to be answered in this experiment good luck to them because I certainly want to know how everything started, yes people should enjoy life but shouldnt they enjoy a life that has been explain on how it came to be? IMO yes.
And as their is no God to play, they dont need to worry about playing him.
I know I would like to know how it all started.
I do too, though I would prefer it if they could do at least one experiment that didn't involve all the "The world is going to end" stuff. For once, can't they just do an experiment on how to make Gummi bears made of Pepsi?
Could the world end in nine days?
Well, if it's in The Sun, then it must be true..
Tabloids rarely get anything wrong..
