Recreating the Big Bang

[Ziner]

Does this freak anyone out just a little bit? I am sure the odds of something happening arent very good and as they assure us, nothing could happen. However for some reason that doesnt 100% assure me. When a potential side effect is a matter sucking black hole is this really that great of an idea???

Doesn't do much to frighten me. The amount of energy required to create a black hole that could suck up the Earth is far more than what these guys are producing. We're talking about microscopic sizes here. There'd have to be a massive amount of energy fed into these things for something really bad to happen.

Some scientists were concerned nearly 65 years ago when the first nuclear bomb was detonated. They thought it would cause a chain reaction that would eventually cause all the hydrogen nuclei throughout the universe to split and make everything go up in a really big bang. Didn't happen.

We humans like to overestimate our own power for destruction and comprehension of the universe.

Huge day for science. In the long run, it could surpass the human genome project as greatest scientific achievement.

Sounds almost like the plot of a book I just read...
