Large Hadron Collider to recreate big bang, is this dangerous?

White Israelite:
so I was reading about the Large Hadron Collider and apparently there are some fears from people that this thing could create a black hole and destroy the earth, any opinions on this?

I've heard a little bit of news about it before, but 10 billion dollars spent on this thing is pretty rediculous if you ask me. More people have been on the moon than in the deep sea, we probably know more about space than our own planet.

Hi,

I just read something very scary from the Rueters site on this. I dont know what kind of scientist said this but it is idiotic:


--- Quote ---http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL846768920080908
"If some of what we expect to find does not turn up, and things we did not foresee do, that will be even more stimulating because it means that we understand less than we thought about nature," said British physicist Brian Cox.

--- End quote ---

This man is an idiot... You do not do an experiment if it could cause unintended damage. I am beginning to think there should be protest against this experiment. It seems these scientists just want to play with their big toys.

PS: Why are they doing this on September 10th? Is there a connection to September 11th?

I don't know if the date holds anything significant but if that quote is true, rather dsturbing.

If this machine creates a sustainable and ever increasing black hole, then it may create doubts in some surviving minds that the millions of other sustaining black holes within universe have been created by such machines.  ;)
