As long as they don't blow us up.

Or suck us into the blackhole they create...

Hopefully this isn't some Swiss version of hold my bierkrug and watch this.

For anyone interested there is a really interesting documentary on Netflix called "Particle Fever" that's about the LHC and the search for the Higgs. I enjoyed it, but I like to read books on quantum theory in my down time.

Isn't this the plot to Pacific Rim?

I thought it was the synopsis of the mist.

Hey if this thing explodes and I become the Flash, that's ok in my book....

I'm no physics expert but I don't believe this is how black holes work. Maybe for a couple tenths of a second it will be similar to this but nothing long term we could benefit from.

The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.

As if anything we do on this lonely little planet could significantly affect the entire universe. People really have no concept of scale.

The LHC does create black holes, they are just very, very small and decay out of existence really, really quickly.

Good post, Will.
