LOL gotta love all the people that believe this could end the world as we know it. I have been following this stuff for around 12 years, and have been looking forward to the day CERN was fired up.

I personally believe that they arent doing anything that isnt done on a universal level, every nano second of everyday. These particles are so small that they need special equipment to see them. They are the largest microscope in the world right this minute lol.

Dont ya think that these very same particles collide all the time? I do believe they will learn some things, and discover other things they had no idea were happening. As far as finding the big bang ..... well.......we shall see

Now what would be cool in all of this is if they are able to figure out how to time travel. Now that would be awesome!! The only problem is that knowledge could be abused so very badly before the public even is aware they are even doing that.
