First comment on that page: "This thing is going to kill us all."
Have you ever watched Ghostbusters?
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
The LHC will basically do what Dr. Spengler was saying not to. It will take billions of proton streams and slam them into each other in the hopes that one of the collisions will produce a higgs boson among other things. Some people believe it will generate black hole(s).
A few of the LHC workers decided to make a "rap" video describing the whole thing. It is in the same lines as those Bill Nye music videos.
Ah, people said the same thing about nuclear bombs, and the two of them only killed 120,000 people. I feel personally comforted in the fact that there is only a small chance of this thing crating a black hole that would destroy the Earth. And, it can make coffee in 2.3 seconds.
It can do 3 things:
-Answer important questions in physics
-Not answer important questions in physics
-destroy the world
In the case it neither destroys the world nor answers some important question, we shall just keep trying or begin to build a new, bigger, more powerful(and dangerous) particle accelerator.
its gonna create a bunch of black holes and tear the earth apart
