CERN LHC = danger?

I hope your experiment will work.This is the most unbelievable invention in all the universe.Good luck

Well, I sure hope I don't wake up in a black hole tomorrow!!!

We are already in a black hole (ignorance)

It is not a challenge with nature but to learn from creator how the world was made.

this is ridiculous
why would you risk humanity for one stupid experiment.

TO WOULD YOU TAKE SO RISKY EXPERIMENT WHICH CAN DESTROY HUMAN BEINGS AS WELL AS THE NATURE.

I am most anxious to see the result of this fantastic experiment. To me,the big bang theory seemd alawys too simple and naive to believe: Let us see what scientists will come to

It's not good idea to play with nature .. what we are now it's excellent....

It's too gooooooddd to be extinct from the world at once..... by one silly and stupid experiment....

This could possibly be the biggest thing we've ever done. Risky or not, we should all be honored to have a front row seat. You know....There was once a time (not so long ago) when people wanted to halt exploration for fear of falling off the edge of our precious "flat" earth. Some of you people need to open your mind just a little.

I was fascinated by the 4 part video of the "Coast to Coast" radio program aired May 8, 2008 in which the Nuclear Physicist, Walter L. Wagner expressed his valid concerns about the CERN Experiment. It was presented in layman's terms that I can understand and I believe illustrates what could truly happen, potentially, which brings me to the puzzling question as to why Stephen Hawking could have stated that there is no apparent danger. Stephen, historically, has been known to take a 180 degree turn on physics matters when it was shown to him that his thinking was in error. I have a great respect for this man's abilities and great scientific knowledge; however, I am truly disappointed with his apparent lack of humility and wisdom on this matter of particle physics which is very much in its infancy stages. He, of all humans on the planet, should have been the biggest proponent and the most influential voice speaking out for the cause of preservation of human life on the planet by advocating much stricter guidelines prohibiting any scientific activities with potential and monumental devastating effects. If the earth and universe are 14 billion years old, what's the rush! Doing experiments in very small, controlled, incremental steps is the wiser course enabling us to take the "baby" steps required to master the controlled, "mature" steps of complete understanding and wisdom about our COSMOS. These irresponsible CERN scientists are nothing more than greedy, selfish, egotistical morons who are looking for a celebrated name for themselves: The Nobel Prize. Even if it is just a legitimate curiosity about the universe, it is a grave price to pay; as we all well know from the cliché: curiosity killed the cat!

On a moral and legal question while we still have time: If a catastrophic chain of events produces a black hole or series of them eventually swallowing the earth, would this be deemed the largest and most hideous case in human history of "genocide"? If our worst fears are realized there may never be a debate, nor a trial to hold the ones responsible to an accounting... the heartless "criminals" who plunged humanity and all terrestrial life into extinction.

Even if our worst fears were not to be realized at this stage, it proves once again, that man cannot be trusted (check out the following verses in the Bible: JEREMIAH 10:23 and PSALMS 146:3 ). Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the greatest cases in point; Einstein was sorry he had discovered this great knowledge of enormous power (E=mC2 ) that snuffed out so many lives in an instant of time, and, more importantly, made this world an insecure and frightening place to live from that point on.

Mr. Wagner, I applaud your great wisdom and love of life and humanity. Please find a way to step up the awareness program you have embarked on. Bring together the most creative and knowledgeable advertising and media minds who can champion the cause of so many who would like to voice their opinions but who do not have the opportunity, knowledge, or empowerment to do so. Although the majority of the world population may not understand nor have an appreciation for science, they would vote against the Experiment if they truly understood the monumental implications. The time left is reduced. If we fail, then our only hope is in DIVINE intervention because nothing short of the SECOND COMING will save us. If we were to be wiped out, it would be the equivalent of never having existed at all because there would be no humans left to tell the story of a species too ignorant and proud to save itself. CARL SAGAN, in his great television series, COSMOS, had it right concerning the longevity of hypothetical civilizations spread throughout the COSMOS. He said that the critical moment would be at the point where they acquired "technology". He was bang on! Will we somehow wake up in time to cherish and take to heart his precious thoughts left to posterity to help guide us through just such perilous times and crucial decisions?

May GOD have mercy on us!

I hope this experiment would never work on time , or at least not in my lifetime.
Mad scientists are trying to create something that could lead to a serious disaster to planet earth. According to their safety reports, risks are negligible 1:50000000, but still, its based on theory since no other similar experiment was carried out in our history to assure that this gonna be 100% safe. In their theory, if particle collision caused a microscopic black holes, it would evaporate before it gets any bigger, Black holes are the most powerful and destructive forces in the universe, and yet they are trying to create one. God have mercy on us all

Listen - a black hole with the weight of a subatomic particle cannot devour a planet let alone a single, much heavier atom. Instead it will be torn apart by surrounding gravity (taken out of it's "black hole" state).

Obviously such an extreme particle may be able to inflict damage to any particle it encounters, but it will ultimately be destroyed as it cannot possibly out-pull the planet's forces that are a gazillion times stronger than it.

Also, if the sun would be replaced by a black hole with equal mass, all the planets orbits will remain the exactly the same. The lack of heat and energy coming to earth will kill off all (non-extremophile) life but hey that's not the point.

The point being, Black holes aren't "vacuum cleaners" any more than normal stellar bodies are. Just because they're much denser (thus, much smaller) the ultimate gravitational pull at it's surface is much much higher so, that even light passing it's surface will be slurped in. If the body would be less dense, but with the same mass, that very same beam of light would simply be absorbed by it's surface because of the wider radius (bigger size) of the body.

Seriously. There is nothing to worry about.

are you guys fucking crazy there is people that want to live and this might kill the whole world and i want to live so you guys shouldn't do this experiment at all you guys should stop looking for answers and stay with what you got cause god is blocking your eyes there is aliens in evre planet it says it in the bible and you guys are looking for other planets to live on but you should love what god gave !!!

nothing ventured, nothing gained :)
Enjoy the ride guys ...

It is not whatwe do not know but what we can learn, there is always an amount of guess work in between, the hing is that the scientists in CERN are only trying to simulate what happened, it only takes ones particle to make the difference, and life will go on. Bigger and better......

STOP living in the World is Flat ideology. CERN! keep it up! .
