It's not an explosion they are worried about but rather an implosion, as in black hole. Or possibly causing another big bang.

But that's the paranoids spouting that crap, the safety report should have never stated those possibilities.

They're not actually doing collision tests tomorrow, but they will be shooting a proton beam inside the collider.

to even think that we can re-create the power required to do anything that happens in massive effects found only in the celestial bodies is naive.

I have my crowbar ready, no head humpers are gonna get me.

Found this, very informative for the non-particle physicist types.

Lisa Randall from Harvard will be there to keep us safe.



She's my favorite Physicist right now. She will be hoping for some extra dimensions to show them selves. Maybe a brane or two.

Per the newspaper today, the problem was attributed to some bad soldering on one connection. Lisa probably had nothing to do with finding the problem, but I just wanted to see her photo again.
