      Na, a repost and LHC at the same time re-envigorates my need to abuse.

      The Travel Channel (of all places) did a thing on the LHC the other night. It was very long but very good. I think it pretty much dissipated any concerns I might have had (though I had none to begin). My only real concern about the whole project is could it become dangerous if terrorist overtook the facility and if so to what end? I came to the show late and if that had been discussed already I missed it.

        i just check the webcams[^] every hour or so, to make sure nothing's happened.

        If there is a black hole there... what do you think you will see? ;P

            I think it is highly unlikely you could find a terrorist with sufficient technical knowledge to do anything unusual with the LHC..., and one could just cut the power supply.

              What looming danger? There is no solid proof the LHC is going to cause any threats to the well being of the planet.

              When the Big money get behind science, bad things happen! The Challenger explosion was one of the bad things. Big money does not care about people as long as they get something for their money!

                I don't feel bothered - I think it's a load of inflated nonsense. My loathing for The Sun and local Bristol papers has also been increased (the quality of reporting, bias and representation of facts was god damn awful) although I've never liked tabloids much anyway.

                  There is a rather great difference between quoting the dead in one's signature to a post, and actually posting on outdated subject matter.

                        It's no big deal, if the LHC really does create a mini-black hole we'll just put a mini-cork in it. (I'm betting the doomsayers' knowledge of physics doesn't extend far enough for them to point out any flaws in this.)

                            Big money had nothing to do with the Challenger explosion, it was unseasonably cold weather that deteriorated the O-rings.
