could it become dangerous if terrorist overtook the facility
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.
Touche' I had forgotten that. It would need tremendous power and I'm sure there are kill switches everywhere. :-\

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!
Okay, now that you've revealed the tinfoil on your head, it really is time to move this piece of trol drek to the soapbox...

Howdoes everyone out there feel about the looming danger?:~
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.)

There is a rather great difference between quoting the dead in one's signature to a post, and actually posting on outdated subject matter.
If i hurt you feeling, I'm sorry :(

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

So we can abuse you in the appropriate fashion for bringing up this garbage.
I second that :)

And can we tear apart the next person who mentions anything about a certain new web browser-not-to-be-named, too :rolleyes:

It's obviously because he's been living in a Black Hole already... :rolleyes:

until next year. this is when the black hole experiments begin
I thought it was supposed to be next month?

I thought it was supposed to be this weekend or next week. Time to go and pay a visit to CERN's site :)

It's what you don't see that tells you there's a black hole ;-)

I worry about where my next check is coming from a lot more than whether colliding two protons together will create a black hole that eats up the earth. And besides, if a black hole devours the earth, my first problem is solved. Marc

Yup, that browser-not-to-be-named only lived for 1 minute on this machine. CP menu was all screwed up and that did for me :-\

Unfortunately, black holes only consume matter, not bullshit...
