This is great....it's like a 2012 conspiracy theorist, except he'll get disproven so much sooner!
It's gotta happen sometime, better sooner than later.
BTW: Particle collision is nothing new. At all. We actually have simulated Big Bang conditions in the past (and even created and stored antimatter that resulted from the collision).
Yes but this next test is going to be the largest BY FAR and I believe the first one conducted with this current device.
What you're not understanding is that we're not actually recreating the Big Bang, at least, not to scale. We're recreating the conditions of the B.B. on a vastly smaller scale. Such a small scale, in fact, that it's been done before without consequence.
Not to this magnitude though.

"They are getting ready to see the universe born again.
Again and again and again 30 million times a second, in fact.
Starting sometime next summer if all goes to plan, subatomic particles will begin shooting around a 17-mile underground ring stretching from the European Center for Nuclear Research, or Cern, near Geneva, into France and back again luckily without having to submit to customs inspections.
Crashing together in the bowels of Atlas and similar contraptions spaced around the ring, the particles will produce tiny fireballs of primordial energy, recreating conditions that last prevailed when the universe was less than a trillionth of a second old.
Whatever forms of matter and whatever laws and forces held sway Back Then relics not seen in this part of space since the universe cooled 14 billion years ago will spring fleetingly to life, over and over again in all their possible variations, as if the universe were enacting its own version of the Groundhog Day movie. If all goes well, they will leave their footprints in mountains of hardware and computer memory.
We are now on the endgame, said Lyn Evans, of Cern, who has been in charge of the Large Hadron Collider, as it is called, since its inception. Call it the Hubble Telescope of Inner Space. Everything about the collider sounds, well, large from the 14 trillion electron volts of energy with which it will smash together protons, its cast of thousands and the $8 billion it cost to build, to the 128 tons of liquid helium needed to cool the superconducting magnets that keep the particles whizzing around their track and the three million DVDs worth of data it will spew forth every year.
The day it turns on will be a moment of truth for Cern, which has spent 13 years building the collider, and for the worlds physicists, who have staked their credibility and their careers, not to mention all those billions of dollars, on the conviction that
they are within touching distance of fundamental discoveries about the universe. If they fail to see something new, experts agree, it could be a long time, if ever, before giant particle accelerators are built on Earth again, ringing down the curtain on at least one aspect of the age-old quest to understand what the world is made of and how it works.
If you see nothing, said a Cern physicist, John Ellis, in some sense then, we theorists have been talking rubbish for the last 35 years.
Fabiola Gianotti, a Cern physicist and the deputy spokeswoman for the team that built the Atlas, said,
Something must happen.
------------------------------------------
If you actually think no bad can come of this than you are more foolish than me for thinking it can.
If they seriously thought a catastrophe would arise from all of this, they wouldn't perform the experiment. I'm sick of this notion that scientists are the loonies that are seen in movies that either want to rule the world, or want to destroy it. It's ridiculous.
One word - Trynobyl
Who are you, exactly?
