Seriously guys, the media blow up the 'risks' to make it sound interesting. If anyone involved had the slightest belief that we might be endangering the planet, we wouldn't be doing this. The energies we produce at CERN, while HUGE on human scales, are nothing to the cosmic rays bombarding the earth every day.

I saw about this on a program recently. They are going to use it to prove/disprove superstring theory.

I'm simultaniously excited by the possibilities and deeply nervous about gaping dimensional rips tearing apart reality as we know it. Awesome. Dangerous, but awesome.

Isn't that where they filmed a scene in Terminator3.
(Ya know the scene where the female Terminator stick to it, magnetism thingy)

I bet it would cost another 5 billion in electricity costs!. I wonder how much the sucker takes to run

I am pleasantly surprised there hasn't been any "what about the millions of hungry and dying pople in the world all this money could have helped" - type comments.....yet.

Erm, did I read that right? Are they seriously considering doing the big bang experiment? Aren't they slightly worried about what happens in that mirco fraction of a second? 0_o
