But they haven't collided anything yet. They only turned on the two beams independently of one another to see if it worked or not. So I think there is still hope for those who need to forget about the things that they don't understand the more they think about it.

- lutorm 18y agoThe LHC safety report (http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html) makes the good point that whatever LHC will do, Nature has already been doing for billions of years. Cosmic ray collisions have far higher energy, and over the lifetime of the Earth, about a million LHC lifetimes of interactions have taken place. Si if the Universe should be destroyed, Nature should have taken care of that by itself a long time ago.
