The Large Hadron Collider just made a "mini big bang" What do you think about it?
I'm scared, because maybe they'll make a black hole next and we'll all get sucked into it...Not really, but it sucks that they're going to shut it down for repairs. I think it has great potential as long as the money keeps flowing.
A new realm in Physics and science is being brought by the Experiments like ALICE at Large Hadron Collider. To tell you the truth everything is unpredictable and we are moving towards an unknown territory. They may create mini (not so mini) Black Holes (not intentionally) the outcome of which , nobody can predict.
The Collider is like a play toy for scientists. They just harnessed antimatter (for a millisecond). Next they will pair antimatter with matter just to see what happens. Of course, they will say everything is under control; just like the mad scientists do in the movies.
Problem is, their experiments are not confined to a simple test tube nor is this a formula on a blackboard. Their mini-experiments will get larger and more complicated, and each succeeding experiment will put the planet in greater jeopardy.
In fact, I think this could be the 2012 debacle everybody is predicting. I don't think this is a good idea.
Allow me to add ... despite having all the potential
[it has made a mini big bang ] !
Why ?

After reading so much feedback on the global warming issue, I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this Large Hadron Collider thing going on in Switzerland. Apparently they are trying to make little black holes and the like. Must be important as they have so far spent billions of...

Did Protons In The Large Hadron Collider Higgs-Bosun GOD-Particle Experiment Trace A Perfect Circle?The mechanism that governs the functions of the Large Hadron Collider involves 930 electromagnets placed equidistant from one another lining the inner walls of the LHC. That is indicative that the...

Scientific progress or hype or playing with fire? Is it a waste of time and money or is there something important to be discovered from it?What do you think?

Large Hadron Collider Protons At 99% Speed Of Light - Two Beams Collide - Why Accelerate Both Beams?Since the velocity of one beam relative to the other was not twice 99.9999991% the speed of light, as the laws of relative velocity are not applicable at that level, (or are they?) why accelerate two...
