Jesus Christ... The paranoia of the film maker is so apparent it is horrible.
The only reason I made it this far is because the footage is interesting... The structure this dude decided to use in this film is HORRID.
Seriously... If you are so against and afraid of the risk required for obtaining new knowledge, go climb back into the rain forest canopy and stop bothering those of us who are evolving.
In 500 million years the SUN will deplete it's energy... we can sit around and do nothing... other then watch the population explosion deplete the Earth's resources or do what we can to adapt to either inevitability. Though Science is a double edged sword, it's the best tool we have for the job. It's the ONLY thing that makes our lives BETTER then that of our ancestors. What's more frightening then Corporate Greed Mongering Science ? Oh Yeah... the IGNORANCE and COMPLACENCE of the Masses !!!
An excellent doc- very informative even if the particle accelerator "appears" benevolent now. Are the new "gatekeepers" of knowledge to be trusted? Or have they sold us down the river in the name of scientific "progress" over & over again to enrich themselves & satisfy their egos? Just think about what balanced humans can accomplish (those who actively engage both sides of their brain- not just operating from their logic with its "progress at any cost" mentality!)
This film is full of disjointed leaps with out solid data or even the vaguest attempt to explain them. If you were a prosecutor CERN would have to be acquitted for lack of evidence. You failed to make your case.
Excellent! Thank you for a very informative documentary. Let the knowledge continue to expand and reach people both near and far. HEAL MOTHER EARTH AND SHE WILL PROVIDE FOR HER CHILDREN! :)
Despite what some may say, technology is neither good nor evil. Just like a gun, it's based on the intent of the wielder. I agree that something should not be built simply because it can be.
these so called scientists are pathetic ego-maniacs and they don't care if they do unleash a black hole on our planet and solar system who the fcuk are they to play god???

anything that one thinks of can be created with enough "knowledge",time and resources; the question is wether or not one is willing to create these kinds of things.
It's easy to turn against the machine, but what the author really against is the posiblity of mis-use of the machines. Machine gives man power, with great power, it comes with great responsibilities.
@rickylain Its the extermination of the species we're talking about here. And the great responsibility is to stop this destruction and extermination. Machines have given no power to anyone. only threatening to end existence. Which was immenent during the cuban missile crisis. Why is that a great responsibility when the end of the planets existence is a definite possibility. To me it is greatest irresponsibility to threaten every day our existence. If not Madness itself.
This is a very good production. I have a feeling that the author is against the idea of cutting edge technologies that can be harmful to humanity. Like it or not, people are constantly seeking for knowledge and power. Like the apple in the garden of eden, if it's there, someone will attemp at it. Genetic engineering is the same thing. One day, humans will unlock the secrets of nature. You can delay it, but it's inevitable, just like forces of nature.
The sad truth is, before you conquer the self destruction of science, you have to upse t the way in which things get done, and in order to upset the way in which things get done, you have to go back, further and further, to that first Faustian bargain that set all of this in motion - the moment we invented the Monetary System. watch?v=CeCMSLP3Wy8
Once again, highly over-simplistic. This documentary simply shows how it is the destructive and conquest power of METAL based military technology that has led to empires and been the driving force behind much scientific innovation. Can't we question the direction of scientific studies without wanting to become cave men? This isn't calling for ignorance, it's calling for a new form of understanding, where science becomes more ethical and more aware of its darker role in history
You don't get it. The message is supposed to be simple. There is a potential here, whether it be instantaneous or subsequent, of drastic, unprecedented proportions. They do not know what will happen. Instead of furthering research into the possibilities, they choose to go right ahead. This has to do with power, rather than benevolence it seems.
@TheDreamMechanic if its creation is bound to happen then why not now? we could be wasting time planning, study, and worrying for something that might not even happen, where instead we could be saving lives with this new technology. sometimes great leaps must be taken. this documentary was meant scare you of this technology by mentioning only the negative sides of it and not the positive. and yes, some people, of course, are going to use this for power but it can also improve the quality of life
You...did...watch the documentary in its entirety, didn't you? Is it not obvious who is funding this project? Are you not aware that each and every one of these "technological innovations" (two n's by the way) that have to do with prodigious energy are ALWAYS converted into weapons of mass destruction?
fucking great documentary ! i think the lhc is probably the most irresponsible the human race has ever done ! no body knows what will happen were going back to the big bang that only happend once imaging what will happen if we do it again ?????????????????????????
I remember Foucault saying that he was beginning to wonder if those epochs of peace between the empires weren't just another phase of the state of perpetual war that has defined civilization. But that isn't a manifestation of human nature. It manifests how power has been wielded and obtained by a small minority of violent and brilliant sociopaths for the past 5,000 years.

Great doc...
As to your ending comments: there's the Venus Project - could be a viable alternative.
Thanks for sharing.

the internet was invented at CERN...how about that.
if any of you want to go back to the pre-industrial age...sry.
this doc is biased against anything technological inovating.
