The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator and it’s about to start operating in a tunnel that runs beneath parts of Switzerland and France. Operated by CERN - the European Organisation for Nuclear Research - the LHC will produce very high-energy particle collisions. The Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions in the early universe. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe.

what a bunch of nonsense… I hope the machine blows up! this is a pure theoretical fantasy world. The only problems that need to be solved are sociological.
Theory of Everything… in my experience that is the name of an abstract electronic musician! Ha ha, I’ll have to send you a sample track….

Man’s technology has exceeded his grasp. - ‘The World is not Enough’
Zealous Nobel Prize hungry Physicists are racing each other and stopping at nothing to try to find the supposed ‘Higgs Boson’(aka God) Particle, among others, and are risking nothing less than the annihilation of the Earth and all Life in endless experiments hoping to prove a theory when urgent tangible problems face the planet. The European Organization for Nuclear Research(CERN) new Large Hadron Collider(LHC) is the world’s most powerful atom smasher that will soon be firing subatomic particles at each other at nearly the speed of light to create Miniature Big Bangs producing Micro Black Holes, Strangelets and other potentially cataclysmic phenomena.
CERN physicist Alvaro De Rújula in the BBC LHC documentary, ‘The Six Billion Dollar Experiment’, incredibly admits quote, “Will we find the Higgs particle at the LHC? That, of course, is the question. And the answer is, science is what we do when we don’t know what we’re doing.” And CERN spokesmodel Brian Cox follows with this stunning quote, “the LHC is certainly, by far, the biggest jump into the unknown.”
The CERN-LHC website Mainpage itself states quote: “There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions,…” Again, this is because they truly don’t know what’s going to happen. They are experimenting with forces they don’t understand to obtain results they can’t comprehend. If you think like most people do that ‘They must know what they’re doing’ you could not be more wrong. Some people think the same thing about medical Dr.s but consider this by way of comparison and example from JAMA: “A recent Institute of Medicine report quoted rates estimating that medical errors kill between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year in US hospitals.” The second part of the quote reads “…but what’s for sure is that a brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator,…” A molecularly changed or Black Hole consumed Lifeless World? The end of the quote reads “…as knowledge in particle physics goes on to describe the workings of the Universe.” These experiments to date have so far produced infinitely more questions than answers but there isn’t a particle physicist alive who wouldn’t gladly trade his life to glimpse the “God particle”, and sacrifice the rest of us with him.
This quote from National Geographic exactly sums this “science” up: “That’s the essence of experimental particle physics: You smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out.”

Walt - who are you? I need more friends like you! Though I must say I am not so alarmed at the possible cataclysmic outcomes as I am about the horrendous waste of money and resources that this ‘experiment’ seems to be. I agree with your point about much more tangible problems existing which need this degree of funding and attention. Great quote - “The World is not Enough”. Totally sums up the roots of so many of the problems we face today. Modern / western / Christian/ techno culture has taught many of us (wrongly so) that the reality of life is somehow lacking.
The scary thing is, when the LHC fails to give them the result they are looking for, what next? An even larger and more dangerous collider?
I very much believe in rationality in my approach to life, but this is clearly science gone awry…

They finally turned on the LHC today. It’s a good thing you guys are not in charge of funding the project…:~)
