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

Yet. Key word. Someone needs to at some point if we are to ever understand them

There is nothing wrong with a quest for knowledge as long as the repercussions are taken into consideration. It sounds like those who are running the experiment have absolutely no idea what the outcome will be . This is very, very irresponsible and patently wrong. Playing with these kinds of things could lead to irreversible consequences. Even the 'knowledgeable' scientists dont really know what they are doing. They are playing craps with the lives of the entire world. Do they really have the right to do this? I dont think they do.
I had no problem with the experiment and I believed that it will probrobly not yield any useful information. But when I read that they dont even know what to expect, and they hope for results which they didnt forsee, then I think they are idiots of the biggest magnatude.
I am a computer scientist and I know that if I do something wrong my entire system can be brought down. So I am very careful before I do something. It seems the scientists are just blindly smashing particles in the hopes that something will happen. This is dangerous!

PS: And 9/11 is always important to me because it is the yartzeit {anniversary of death} for my brother who died in the World Trade center. It has come to represent a day of death to me and if something, G-d forbid, happens because these 'scientists' game goes bad then I will be very angry.

Why would you be more angry on September the 10th than any other day that isn't 11th September?
As I say, they don't know what to expect. Nor did those making nuclear reactors for the first time. Look where we are with those now, a non-oil energy source. Very dangerous stuff potentially, but it had to be done to progress science.
Anyway, the liklihood is nothing will go significantly wrong.

Nic,
If they are going to destroy the world I would like it to be on a different day than the day which I remember my brother. I dont think it is too hard to understand this. The day is a dark day in my life and it just seems odd that of all the days of the year it would fall out that they would do this on the day before 9/11. There may be no correlation, but to me it seems ominous.

Can you not understand that there are only 365 days in a year to pick? There will be something evil attached to every day of the year, and certainly something very evil within 1 day of any day they could have picked. No offence but whilst 9/11 was the most awful tragedy in the US, it was mourned, lost, but not so relevant (on a personal level, on a level where you consider the threat it's the same to everyone in the world) to those in Europe where the LHC is. I doubt they really gave much thought to the day and it's better like that, there'll be someone mourning a terrorist/war atrocity every day of the year.
