Crazy, isn't it? But I guess they felt the risk was worth it. I assume that's how the scientists working on the LHC feel.

- devinj 16y agoNah, the LHC dudes think there's an actual zero risk. The LHC doesn't produce collisions of any magnitude greater than collisions that occur in the upper atmosphere (from what I understand). That was the ultimate debunk of things like the whole "microscopic black hole will eat the earth" thing.
