TechnologyScientists: Atom-smasher Won't Bring ArmageddonScientists: Atom-smasher Won't Bring ArmageddonThe Associated PressThe most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries after it is switched on in August. But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures. (June 28)[Notes:Dateline: MEYRIN, Switzerland] It's being called the largest scientific experiment in history ...And some say one that **could** cause Armageddon.This five-point-eight billion-dollar machine is designed to break up atoms ...It's called the Large Hadron Collider or L-H-C ... An underground tunnel 17 miles wide ... Attached to several particle detectors the size of office buildings. Those detectors will look for signs of invisible dark matter ... a so-far undiscovered particle smaller than the atom....one scientists believe gives matter mass.But critics say this mammoth machine **could** destroy the world.That's because ... By the end of the summer ... the Collider is scheduled to generate energies seven times higher than any other machine in history. [Notes:SOUNDBITE Lyn Evans, LHC project leader, CERN: "I think, obviously, we have no concerns at all, there is a huge community of scientists who know what they are talking about and are sleeping quite soundly concerning the LHC. But nevertheless, this creates problems in the general public who are seriously concerned, and we have to answer to that."]Concerns that these scientists don't know exactly **what** will happen when they flip the switch.Critics say that smashing atoms at ninety-nine-point-nine percent the speed of light might cause the fabric of the universe to fold up on itself .. But scientists here are brushing off those concerns.They say cosmic rays have been bombarding the earth at much higher energies since the solar system formed four-point-five billion years ago. [Notes:SOUNDBITE John Ellis, CERN Theoretical Physicist: "The LHC is only going to reproduce what nature does every second, it has been doing for billions of years, and all of these astronomical bodies including the earth and the sun, they are still here. So there really is no problem, but if people are concerned about it, we will certainly discuss."] The European Research center reviewed safety issues of the Collider in 2003 ... And said there was no way the device could trigger a catastrophic event. The center is expected to publish an updated review later this week. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

hey who gives a fuck look at it one way//////////we live on a war ridden desieded planet anyway so what could be mor worse swallowed up by a black hole or dye by the bullet,bomb,atom bomb,swine flu.the list is endless....its science man made just like the above...atom bomb.
You can't travel BACKWARDS through time. YOu could only travel back to the moment when the wormhole was created. THe applications of that are limitless. You could continuously update the past's knowledge and understand and do an infinite amount of research in what is essentially one day. It would be, to use the gamer term, the ultimate cheat code to science and EVERYTHING. Though the risks are about as numerous as the benefits.
I'm sure you are a mathematical genius but I think it's going to take a lot more than maths to change what's coming. Don't take my word for it, find out for yourself, here is just one of thousands of points of information which was compiled by genuine people for the people, as opposed to the government which does not represent the people and never have and who have continually killed our soldiers since day one in the name of lies - /watch?v=5r6-o1lpJHU
Well this is more than just one rich group, they are connected all around the world including the vatican they own more than 50% of the world money, they own the governments and the federal reserve which is not a bank but a private company where all your tax has been going since the year dot even though there is no legal tax system and yeah we might be more in numbers but we are defenseless against the military. There's not much room here, would you like to have a friendly discussion by email?
Hey Dralzun thanks for the reply, I have a slightly different understanding in that Americans only think they get to vote, which you might like to find the truth in this by finding out about the illuminati, there you will discover that you have been lied to like the rest of us, all our lives, it is this group which determines where, who and when people are put into power, and where and when the wars are put in place, in other words, they control the governments and they control us, check it out!
Looking at the sheer numbers, I'd say it is impossible for one group of people to dictate the lives of 7 billion people. Sorry, but I trust the math more than the people researching. Also, the rich pretty much dictate who's put into power but even they don't have a holistic clutch over the government. Say what you want but I don't, nor will I ever believe in that conspiracy.

i mean 10 billion dollars...
come on...
