STOP IT!!!
I want to live!!!!

PLEASE STOP everyone is mad at u and u shoudnt mess with something thats was already made by our GOD and he's not happy what your doing to all of us.And your making it like GOD in artificial way and by the way its a bad thing if you know whats right so try to turn it off .

Mysle ze to niesamowite!! Gratulje wam!!

I think this is a great idea!

This photo gallery is just the best. It's hard to imagine a more incredible machine of any sort, and not even Hollywood has come close. It should be an interesting (15?) years.

And on top of that, like icing on a cake, is this comment thread! There's your regular ol' Jo Shmo "Turn it off we don't wanna die!" posters, your "OMG you are all so stupid and totally ignorant plz go read a book or something" guys (my personal favorite), and a strong contingent of religious zealots and scientific blowhards pitted against each other in the same battle they've always been in, except this time they're armed with MacBooks and words like "ignorance", "fear-mongering", and "FUBAR".

It's great to have an opinion about most anything and certainly on something like this project, with its limitless scope and sense of wonder.

You have made History, Congrats For The Success!! I'm agree with The Scientist and i'm able to colaborate with you, I think this is in pro of science and humanity!

unfortunately, this is not the answer. the answer is within. humanity. the neverending search for something that has been with us the entire time.
we have everything we need right in front of us, and can't even realize it.
Saddening really. the search is maddening. more complex than it has to be.
Either way, good luck with the project. something put the thought there. i hope it's not in vain. I am no one to judge anyone's thought process. I just hope all of these thoughts amount to something more than disagreement,egotism,arrogance,ignorance,etc.
Everyone's views play an important role. No matter how vague or unimportant they may seem. PEACE

Im not a scientist but i think what they are doing is great, we should explore new things and how the big bang happened etc. And because we havnt been sucked into a black hole yet i applaud their efforts. Also i believe in god but some people take it a bit to far and for those few people i say, you are crazy!

OH NO!!! THEY JUST ANNOUNCED THAT IT BROKE... or... ARE THEY ALREADY IN THE BLACK HOLE AND ARE JUST TALKIN TO US FROM THE OTHER END? maybe THEY DONT KNOW THAT THEY ALREADY GOT SUCKED UP!!! EY!! COME BACK FOR USSSSSSSSSS.....

It seems like most people making negative (or religious) comments here just don't understand the science. There's close to no chance that there'll be a black hole created, and if there is, it'll be so small that the particles it radiates will exceed the particles it takes in and it'll evaporate. There is no danger, and there's a chance that this could be the experiment that finally gives us a "theory of everything". And yes, that would be the key first step towards curing humanity's problems. Please stop shouting about something you don't yet understand.

Alcaps, "it broke" means that a fuse blew. It doesn't mean terrible things are going to happen, it means that the collider's no longer doing anything whatsoever and it'll have to be worked on for a while until it does.

if were going to die better do it style like back flip in to a hole but i want to do some things first number 1 smoke weed 2 bang some hoes 3 eat every thing in the world but THEY BROKE IT NOW I CANNNNNNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we r screwed if this works . can i buy a share

Âîò ýòî õðåíü!!! Ôàíòàñòè÷åñêàÿ!

it's amazing work on earth, I like go on time

Some people thought the Santa Maria would fall off the ocean when it reached the horizon. Some people think this will create a black hole and we will all fall in.

Wish I was born intelligent, working on this project with the nerds of the world. Then I could post interesting comments to my grandchildren warning them when to buy a parachute.

why lhc?

What if it magnetizes all of the metal that is used in those fine Swiss watches they make? It could wreck the industry forever. Hey lets all get our compases out when they run this thing and see if they point to CERN. That would be cool. It would be really fun if it could make a man made aurora. THAT would be a fun tourist attraction, and you could buy one of those magentized watches when you visited.

Or it could rip a hole in space and time and we could be sucked into a dimension where George Bush is president of the world... now THATS scarry!

Do not accelerate any particle instead disable all activities in future and make it as a museum or tourists spot and collect money and do the experiment in another planet to protect our precious EARTH ........

Jai Hind

Is this experiment is a need of the hour or only for curiosity or for thrust of innovation in the human ?

Its simply a wastage of money & time..... though it is beautifully designed, it is of no use.........hats off to the designers..... but this creation will not help humanity.......and boston.com has done a great job gathering the pics!!!!!!!!!

Ok if your a believer in the Big Bang as being the cause for the universe and all it contains then you have a greater faith than those that believe it had a Biblical cause. Why is that you ask. The answer is that the observed facts do not favour the Big Bang story. Consider how the evidence listed below contradicts the Big Bang story.

A ratio of 50% antimatter to 50% matter predicted by the big bang is not observed.
The CMBR temperature was originally predicted in 1961 to be 20K had to be adjusted to fit the observation of 2.7K.
The big bang's 4 dimensional hypersherical universe model is undermined by the observed quantization of galactic redshifts, anistropy of the CMBR and the patterns in large-scale galaxy survey.
A lack of observed 'density fluctuations' need to formed stars.
A lack of many black holes from exploded type 3 stars that big bang predicts should be there to explain the existance of the heavier elements.
Bang bang does not predict the formation of stars clusters.
The observed galaxy walls and clusters are not predicted by a big bang model.
The proto star's gas swirl model for the formation of a solar system will result in the result in a star spinning faster than the planets however 98% on the momentum is observed to be in the planets.
The formation of planets though 'aggregation' using a particle'sticking' mechanism will not work. Obseved 'planetesimals' are fused solid meteoric chunks, not the predicted dust aggregations. The solar wind blows away the dust aggregations before gravitic formation can take place.
The moon above has no satisfactory explanation for it's formation.
Dark matter and dark energy are unobserved and will remain so long after the LHC's produces its results. Atlas will just dream on.
Heavier elements assembling themselves into reproducing life some time after the big bang is something no one can explain by tests in the experimental or theoretical realms.

Look into what you believe in. Investigate it thoroughly and then ask yourself if it is credible. If you are more convinced by bias than evidence than that is your choice. Have a look at Creation

posaaa!vuaa!!hudai.!kunu lav nai.......

This is the end of creation a black hole will be formed and will swallow the entire solar system say goodbye to your loved ones while you can the apocolypse is here armagedon ! whatever we do from here on is pointless.

No puedo creer que hayan sido capaz de realizar semejante proeza y lo mas espectacular, mantener todo esto durante 20 años en secreto. WOW. Esto supera todas la espectativas incluso las peliculas de ciencia ficción, muy cercano al la serie Start Gate. Me da la impresión que detras de todo esto hay manos alienígenas.
Todo el mundo sabe que para hacer un experimento, y obtener el resultado esperado debe realizarse muchas pruebas.
Como su nombre lo indica, es un "experimento" y como tal, un experimento se realiza para obtener un resultado que, si fue calculado teóricamente, nadie conoce que puede suceder como resultado final. Estos tipos no garantizan el resultado final y puede acabar con toda existencia sobre la tierra.
Debieron haber guardado esa platica y esperar a tener una tecnología mas avanzada y hacerlo hecho por ejemplo en Marte u otra parte , no aqui en nuestra tierra.

These pictures are amazing. There are the best I've saw so far.
This is fascinating.

thank's

The best thing this will ever do is show how to create pure lead out of pure gold! Or maybe we will find out how to separate hydrogen from hydrogen peroxide to make pure drinking water! Well, if nothing else it sure will make a good movie set for si-fi movies. Kind of reminds me of a superman movie I saw where everything went up in smoke and fire. Hay, it makes great photos anyway,

Wish we had these guys build the Big Dig...perhap's then it wouldn't leak !

u must a small Large Hadron Collider model, so that one can know the overview of LHC

THE PICTURES ARE REALLY GORGEOUS BUT........
"IT'S A BIG BUT"

ok i think that your trying to play god...

OMG first. enough with religion and politics ok don't dis religion don't support it religion is not the subject of this discussion if you want to talk about religion take it somewhere else. second the chances of this collider destroying the world are immensely low it is more likely for you to walk across Canada (or the u.s.) and meet every one of it's surviving prime ministers (or presidents). third this project is supported by private donations not the government. fourth i'm glad that something of the immensity is being built because it shows how far we have come and how far we have to go.

wow that is awsome !!!!!!!!!!!

No importa que pase, seamos felices.

Cutti Nuñez, Angel Antonio

"when we do a task, we have to cross 3 stages. (1) first insult, (2) second opposition, (3) third acceptance. fools stops at the first, losers stops at second winners cross the third." this is nature. so go ahead to create a revolution in science.

"ship is always safe at sea shore, but it is not built for that - Einstein"
remember the words from the legend.

its ultimate , no can imagine about such wonderfull machine, i am so so surprised. Its symbol emerging technology of this world. this shows the power of science.

You guyz should have at least waited for us to enjoy this planet for the next twenty years then you can do whatever you wish with it.

sexy,excellent

A simple detail like the initial fireball forming connected whirlpools of energy and then connecting end to end in the 130,000 years of initial fireball is enough to completely change the safety risks. For a start the particles measured are only assumed because of the energy they give off. If Protons and neutrons were stable energy strings connected in higher dimension then they would give off exact amounts of energy and spin. This machine could destroy all human life on the planet. Of all known matter only the proton is stable and that has not been suitably investigated.
But if this machine is to further the cause of nanotechnology then surely the ultimate military goal is to use matter living or dead for weapons. Even the top scientists predict when nano replication technology becomes available it will be adapted and used by terrorists far more easily than nuclear technology.
If it comes to a point where thanks to science my live animated corpse dances with rocks, plants and the dead then perhaps the destruction of the world is a kinder and cleaner alternative. I do not believe the scientists have genuinely thought about the consequences and misguided uses the science will lead too.

On a simple note the whole study of nanotechnology is very different from the technology science has previously given humanity. Do scientists really consider who they are giving the secrets of matter?

The "Nude Bomb" with Max Smart might seem funny but a lot of the emergent programming comes from teenage male minds who might think it very funny to write a nano program to react with clothing. It could make Congress Prime Viewing :) Scientists in their quiet cloistered labs may not be the people to fully appreciate what their research could be used for!!!

Sure it may sound crazy but if you read the Nanotechnology book by Michio Kaku it puts all sorts of things like eugenics through 'T' cell detectors in unknown hands. The direction the internet has taken is a classic example of uncontrolled human desires.

The brave new world might be a very buff brave new world indeed.

Porque cuando tenemos la posibilidad de saber mas tenemos que sacar a relucir a "Dios" ese famoso desconocido , y por que tiene que estar enojado ? si , tal y como creen muchos, existio ,existe y nos creó , deberia estar orgulloso de ver como evolucionamos.
Gracias a algunos muchos excepticos que creen que ha habido algo mas que una mano divina en nuestra creación . Dejemonos de creencias y pasemos a la realidad , pisemos fuerte el suelo que nos da de comer tengamos cura de El .
Bravo por el experimento ,salga bien o no , es algo tangible y si no lo realizaramos , nunca lo sabriamos.

I find it interesting that they are not even sure why they are going to all this trouble. One scientist on the proj. basicly said that it was human nature to crash things together at high speeds and see what happens. Wow. This is the kind of people we hav on the frontlines of scientific discovery. I admit, human curiosity is a powerful motivation and without it we would have died out. Our need for discovery and further ourselves as a race is what makes this world what it is. This had brought both good and bad. We should know more about what we are doing before we go and make another mistake that MAY create problems that our children and grandchildrem have to live with...if we live that is. This is an amazing project with great potential. But when the scientists working on it dont even know what will happen, it makes one a liitle nervous. I hope we gain wonderful scientific knowledge from whatever happens,after all life is all about discovery, I just hope that this will not be put in the history books alongside other "great discoveries" that began with the highesst hopes and the repercussions of which we are trying to recover from. I hope for the best.

Simplemente no podemos parar la imaginacion y el sueño del Hombre...Esto continua y debemos estar muy al pendiente de esto porque no solo sera un paso al futuro sino para ir al siguiente sueño...

This looks like my garage.

The LHC is not broken, it has created a black hole that is now sucking all the money out of Wall St. Great photos. Fantastic project.

There is a problem with all the people that think this device will end the world, because it's not possible. First we know turning on the LHC is not going to blowup the world because while this is the very large collider, well it’s not the only one. The world has lots of colliders hell the US has like 3. It's just the first one this big. Second while this collider maybe able to analyze more is not doing anything different then the already exist colliders. Third no "black hole" that this thing could possibly produce would be any where near dangerous, WHY? Well to put is bluntly we could not possibly put enough energy into to, in fact we couldn’t put 1% of 1% of the first percent or .00001% the energy need to produce a black hole. And just so you know the black holes every keeps talking about are 1. well past microscopic they aren’t even nanoscopic, they would be so small an atoms would be larger. And 2. couldn’t stay with out help from us the sec we turn off the juice the nano-black hold would collapse.

Now for everyone who say we are messing with god. Well I would like cuss and curse you out. You have zero none no right to the say any anything about science. You don’t know what it is and you don’t want too. Personally if you can speak with god you need to see a Doctor.

PS I spell god in lower case on purpose.

listen i didnt have time to read all the comments but i am disgusted at all the god bashers and the god fearing doom prophicising people out there this is not a question of god it is simply understanding what is around us we have finally got to the point where simple lab experiments can no longer give us answers so we have to perform larger experiments. I for one thank the people at CERN for the advancements they have gave us to date and for all the advancements they are going to give us. I will not blame one person if we do blow our selfs up through experimenting because if we dont experiment we will stagnate and what stagnates dies so good luck to you.

you people are mad!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S TOTALLY COOL.

ok the thing that i don't understand is why people are so worried about this thing destroying the world. for one the possibility of strangelets forming are astronomically low since at higher energies the possibility of them being formed decreases and since another particle accelerator RHIC which operates at lower levels of energy than the LHC in other words the RHIC is more likely to produce strangelets and in its 8 years of operating it hasn't produced one. you could say that trying to form strangelets with the LHC is like trying to make ice cubes with boiling water. another concern is that the LHC will create a black hole which is nearly impossible. since even if the LHC were to create micro black holes the hawking radiation that they would produce would simply cause them to evaporate.

This thing is unbelievable! The scope and magnitude stagger the mind. Watching the 60-minutes piece actually sent chills up my spine. The HC is a science fiction novel come to life and quite possibly the future of mankind (or lack thereof)!

The scope of this investigation will have consequences far beyond the simple confirmation of what's likey already out there. It's how we learn, and is conceptually no different than the simplest high school lab experiment. LHC's capability to elucidate some of our universe's first nanoseconds of existance is obviously what scares the BeeJesus out of the fundamentalists who would just as soon be out burning books, witches and high school / university curricula and teachers. Too bad folks; science marches on. In this case, most spectacularly. And sorry to say, they'll have it fixed, up and running in the blink of an eye. Then, step back. PS: there's NO chance of a black hole expansion to gobble up the earth.

Great Photos!!! THAT'S TOTALLY COOL.

I have read many of the comments on this thread and though I doubt anyone will give this comment a serious chance...here goes nothing...

To the people who say that the money could be better spent:
The poor and impoverished will be helped by this machine because of the implications of the hadron as a means to unlock better power generation and medical understanding... all science is connected... Look at all the indirectly created tech that came from the moon missions!

To the Spiritually inclined:
Proverbs 1:7 & 1:22
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline."

"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?"

The pinnacle of achievement of mankind in any time, has always been a duel edged sword, but it binds us as a people. We become closer to unity when man can look at something and say "look how far we have come... together"

My Family and I will be watching closely.
Let's Hope All Goes Well !

So.. Lets say that this just happens to go wrong, what the hell would really happen?
I keep hearing black hole, I also keep hearing that a black hole would be no threat. I dont know who to beleive. But if it does happen to go screwy, whats most likely going to happen?

this is a waste of cash money$$$$$$$$$

Hey dont worry abou it. If it creates a black hole we have plenty of crowbars. But, wait . what if that doesn't work. Holy Crap!!! Im still a virgin!!! Ok if were about to die look me up on myspace and i'll show you a good time. dear god im gonna die a virgin!!!!!!

I honeslty think that this grand machine has unlimited potential.
I just think we should wait untill we have, perhapes, a bette runderstanding of what we might be getting into. Maybe, even, wait for colonization on a different planet, moon, etc... So we have somewhere to go just incase an accident does occure. For bettering our understandings and technology: Go for it and good luck. For our own safety (oops a leak): Wait a while.

well i believe that it is a waste of money, although it is very interesting. but quit frankly, i dont care how the universe was made. its here and im here and everyone else is here thats all that matters to me. its obvious why is there no "dark matter" its bcos it destroys matter. if there was this "dark matter" here we wouldnt be here, so why create such a thing? its more known as "anti matter" and another thing that annoys me, is that there may only be a small chance of black hole or end of the world. but no one in the public got a say whether this went ahead. after all it is our lives... its just ridiculous how this world is run. if i could. i'd live on another world/

The LHC is a wonderful machine that would help us see the beginning of time. It’s not something people should frown upon. If it was God or not the crucial point is the human mind was the source of energy that is driving this unthinkable feat of intellectual grandeur. I’m only 15 and the thought of people at the slightest sense arguing about the concept of this machine is bogus, so I think why are adults fussing about? Some people say it’s going to create a dooms day phenomena, okay? YEAH right. Its not. 7,000 scientists in security coded areas have worked furiously since the concept of this marvelous machine came in to thoughts of physicists in 1995. Sure its the most complex and highest costing machine in human history and sure we could be using the billions of dollars to help slow climate change or feed sick kids in Africa, but this is also important. The Human mind can’t help but question the grand mystery of the universe. I hope to become a physicst when I grow up, being a Hispanic 15 year old its tough to see people believing this isn’t something scientists should be doing my family doesn’t approve they are too blinded by their Catholic religion to view the world in a bigger scope. I hope to one day help this machine help us uncover the vast mystery that is and always will be our dark universe.

Well, Meliza... You are an intelligent young person. However, there was a time when even the people considered to be the sharpest minds thought that the earth was a flat surface, who's to say that such a thing can't happen again? I mean, sure, there are some of the earths greatests minds working on this, but lets say things do go screwy, do they know what might happen should something go wrong? Yes, they've been working on it for a long time, but mistakes do happen. We are all human after all. I personally think that you are right, yes it probably wont distroy the earth, but there is still a risk that lots of people would get hurt. I'm thinking along the lines of an implosion. Not enough to harm the world but I do think that it could hurt lots of people should anything happen, maybe thousands..

I believe it isn't going to destroy the world. There is a high possibility that something might go wrong but we people have always been curious about that. I say if its going to solve something then go for it, and if you make a mistake then oh well at least you tried. Ride or die

This is very grand I mean by lookin gat the size of the parts. The humans look so small in front of it. Plus the hardships of so many scienctists and technicians. WOW. terrific.

It is a beautiful machine... But lets face it, powerful machine, powerful consequence. The more power something has the more damage it has the potential to cause right? I dont think it'll destroy the world but there will be consequences should something go wrong, you dont have to be a scientist to know that. Are we prepared for what might happen?

Whatever... when is the collider supposed to be activated anyway?
people keep on giving me different dates, i dont know when its really supposed to happen though.

ok so theyre trying to find "anti" matter. anti is to destroy? and our galaxy is matter... so... whats gonna be the outcome of this if they do make anti matter? this is just another way of making better weapons and its all about the cold war. its a complete waste of money! this money could of gone to curing cancer or feeding the poor, thats alot of food they could of bought with that. what about saving the economy a little bit? why is this particle more important than everyones suffering? if they dont get anything out of this i would be extremely annoyed would be a complete waste of money. if they do find something. it better not be used for weapons either. why cant people just get on with their lives and stop messing with nature.

Yes, and finding/creating this anti-matter could be potential harm to us.
I say wait guys...

Having a large antimatter containment failure down the road will never be possible if a singularity sucks the earth up 5 years from now. (the minimum estimated time it would take for a micro-singularity created from the Hadron Collider to grow large enough to do the job) Sadly, that would mean the Mayans were off by a year. How disappointing.

So you see, you don't have to worry about anti-matter :-)

I think that this machine is playing our lives if it is possible to create microagujeros blacks, it is also dangerous because it will be at a level of energy too high, I think we should think more about the LHC, hopefully that works well for Spring 2009 will be exciting!

can any body tell me what happened in this issue or no body knows , some will pls answer to me if its worth it or not , mankind always keep hopes in the new things to help mankind but no body tell us what happened in this particular day
hope that we all get the answer soon

wow

So no one knows when it will finally be activated? when the whole actual experiment will take place, I mean. Please, if anyone knows, answer this. You all keep talking about this machine, and no one says when the experiment will take place. I really dont wanna miss it, something this big is surely going to be televised isnt it?

this is all im saying. If they thing that this will answer many problems for us, then I say they should go ahead and go for it. I believe in God but that has nothing to do with this machine. If it proves that the big bang theory is true, I owuldn't really care, im gonna stick to what i believe, and the rest of you guys should to instead of arguing about religion and all that. what you SHOULD be arguing about is whats going to hapen because of this machine. And most of you people are afriad of this machine making black holes. I'm not really worried about that, because they say the chances are very low, and if it does happen, oh well. We either die from this machine, or die naturally. either way we're going to have to die. so stop complaining about the machine and black holes and all that bull. If you were really scared, you wouldnt be wasting time sitting in your chairs wimpering about the machine and the end of the world, you should be living out your life as normal and enjoy eveything about it.

WOW!!!!!! This Machine looks HUGE!!!!!!!!! it is sooooo cool!!!!!! the first photo looks like a big party decoration. it is also pretty!!!!! i hope it works because i dont want to be sucked into a black hole!!!!!!!

The risk of having the LHC destroying the planet is about as big as your monitor would suddenly devour your head. Seriously.

sat shri akal and namaste I want to say something to all that there is not any smallest particle in the universe. All of the answers related to this are in infinity we need to understand the term infinity. There is not any smallest particle in the universe and not any biggest one Universe has not any life and there was not any stupid thing like Big Bang I know its hard to believe But that's true. our scientists will not find any smallest particle in the universe but they will find smallest particle only on earth or we can say from 195 Countries. Understand the mean of this first.

When man plays god, we all will suffer. What makes you think you can control any of this things power when it's all based off of hopeful guess work. You call it science. I call it stupidity. Who gave you the right to create something that can destroy our whole world? No human mind is smart enough to know everything. For those of you that agree with playing with mother nature deserve to die, but my children do not. I hope you will meet your maker different than I do.

godley particle?????????????

Great invention;
it is a great invention of creation in human history, i belive it pave the way for junk of problems of mankind and his invironment
GOD, the devine Mjesty loves your research and HE will assist you in this journey
Kassahun Mammo, Ethiopia

Yuh, the chance of it destroying the world IS about as likely as your monitor devouring your head, i agree with that. But lets say it does mess up... Theres no way that what happens wouldnt have a consequence. Something that powerful messing up will definately hurt people. I just wonder how many. heh.... I just had a thought... watch instead of finding anything out the collider just produces a bunch of penguins and grilled cheese sandwiches. hahaha.. just a thought, after all, y'vever know.

OOHHH..............awesome............cant even imagine such a great thing.

I think the whole thing is a waste of money.
You could Vacinate every child in the world and put a stop to many diseases with that money and that would really help people.
When you get the results from this project, what good will it do to you physically?
You'll know more, about the world sure, but there will still be children starving and thirsty and ill and abused, living on the streets, dieing every second.
What good will it do to them?

I WANT STILL MORE ON LHC MEANS THE BASIC TURMS...........ANY WAYS ITS GOOD AND I SALUTE TO THE SCIENTISTS WHO INVOVLED IN THIS

its a amazing technology

Hearty "CONGRATULATIONS" & Gratitudes to all those who have this brave effort to LHC trial,I hope they will make it sucessful shortly.
With best wishes

Please stop complaining about wasted money; development aid is more wasted money than this project. We simply need to know more; standing still is going backwards.
If the experiment creates a black hole which will make the world collapse into it (which is of course highly unlikely) then what does it matter? You can't complain afterwards, you're dead. Nobody in this solar system will be able to care about the world being gone, because it is gone. Might there be such an entity as a 'God', then he will laugh hard at our failed attempt to discover the origin of the universe.

NICE WORK BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION.YOU KNOW THAT WHAT HAVE YOU DID? IT'S GREAT. HOWEVER IT'S HARMFUL OR WHETHER IT'S NOT, I WANT TO SAY GOOD WORDS FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE DID VERY BRILLIANT JOB.

without experience any new sciences and technology\ies how we can push forward then plz all be patient .

i say go for it i glad people will finally see they are wrong. and when u do i will welcome you to my church.

the meaning of "good luck". only when something is impossible or unrealistic (IN SEARCH FOR A BETTER WORD) people say good luck. luck is a magical thing that may give your chance of success...what i am saying now is...there is nothing like luck for me...and luck wont work for those guys either. God is real. And He created this world...

this wont work

I want to see the results, even if it destroys everything, still i wanna know,

oh and btw, if a "god" didn't want this to happen wouldn't he/she do something about it?

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIMENT TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN OUR LIFETIME AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY LEAD TO THE GREATEST BREAKTHROUGH IN SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE SINCE EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY. THE NEED TO EXPLORE OUR WORLD IS ONE OF MANS MOST FUNDAMENTAL AND ADMIRABLE QUALITIES, AND THANK GOD WE WILL NEVER STOP ASKING QUESTIONS UNTIL WE HAVE THE ANSWERS!!!!

He did the first time they tried :p ....but sometimes thats how God works he allows somethings to happen so stubborn people can learn or people looking on. He is too much for me to figure out, way more than i can think or imagine.

this is a very big project ofr engineares it done greatuflly by enginears it is very beatiful

You are right, but never underestimate the power of atomic fission- It can be devastating. I'm only 16, but know enough about quantum physics, nuclear physics, and astronomical physics to say that black holes don't have to be Giant masses of, well, thats the thing. We don't know what a black hole is composed of, but if we successfully create one (not purposefully, of course) then it will help us lead to know these things. More than likely, what will happen is they will split atoms into protons, collide those and see what color sparks they can make (being sarcastic), using quarks and photons... I honestly don't think that a black hole will occur, if you think of the odds, It's not likely that even anything will happen. As for the size of it [The black hole], it doesn't have to be big to suck things up. If you read Dr. Stephen Hawking's book 'A Brief History of Time', you will understand that in physics, its nothing but a game of chance. Rest assured you can sleep well, knowing that the Large Hadron Collider will be either a complete success, or total failure, and a waste of 17+ billion dollars.

NO BLACK HOLES WILL DISINTEGRATE THE EARTH, PEOPLE!

The only thing they're looking for is the god particle, which will transform into anything, thus ending the rising gas prices and starving children throughout the world. All it is is a Giant particle accelerator with more advanced technology.

WE WILL BE SAFE, ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD...

doomsday can wait until I die...

I think it is a fantastic thing to try and do but saying that WHY oh WHY do we have to do these things it isnt going to make any difference even if they do find "the god particle" if we were meant to know about the big bang and all that we would have been born knowing it
Also there are a lot of people out there that are scared and unless you look on the web sites CERN has not done a lot to make people feel better about this experiment and should try and make people understand it more

Look there is little chance of it creating a black hole and killing us all. I'm will to roll the dice with all of your lives. I'm the chance of it exploding with enough force to destroy the earth are quite small, probably equal to winning the lottery. I'll take that chance with your life. Just because you're dumb and realize that every once in a while some hits the lottery doesn't mean we should stop with pointless experiments instead of putting all this time, energy, and money into solve some of the worlds problems. Go hug a tree!

prepare for unforeseen consequences
