I Understand people who have little understanding of what this LHC is capable of or the scientific principles behind it being scared. It is ridiculous that almost all the news covering this are only covering the shit that COULD go wrong and creating a bunch of senseless fear mongering.

1. As far as seeking answers for what happened seconds after the big bang? Some people are saying this could destroy the planet or universe. Why won't it? For starters the Big Bang occured from a finite point of mass exploding into a vacuum of nothing. This wasn't just a few protons colliding with each other. Since our universe already has all the matter it will ever have it is impossible to create another finite point of mass of the same magnitude of the Big Bang without sucking up our entire universe to recreate the same result.

2. As far as creating Black Holes? They will be microscopic black holes, actually smaller, and the chances of them surviving less than a second after creation is very very slim. Why is that? Hawking Radiation. There will not be enough surrounding mass or energy for it to sustain itself and will simply fizzle out almost as quickly as it formed.

In short. The LHC will not destroy us or our planet. Just like the atomic bomb didn't when they first tested it and scientist were in fear that it would ignite the nitrogen in our atmosphere.

Your totally logical rationale is lost on the GFY crew...

What you should have said was "all this hype is spread by US news stations cos the US is just jealous they weren't the ones building this awesome all-answering particle cannon".

Obviously there was an underlying mental health problem or other issues. I have to agree with the statement that a "normal" teenager would not kill themselves after a tv show.

what bothers me is the idea that "something else" is always the cause. we live in a world where no one accepts responsibility anymore for anything.

of course its horrible that the girl died. but it really irks me to read headlines all day long like "8 yr old stabs sister in the face 27 times over pokemon card"... and everyone reflexively gasps in horror at how something could happen over something so silly, when there is clearly something bigger going on with the child/children and parents.

a 16yr old child doesn't wake up one day and see a bad tv show and decide to off themselves.

C_U_Next_Tuesday can call me an idiot because i'm not a parent....

... i'll simply rely on the obvious fact that 6 1/2 billion other people in the world DIDN'T kill themselves because of a tv show or any concerns relating to the partical collider
