we have a lot of misteries to solve and they say its 'safe'??? thats sooo wrong...! no one can tell exactly what will happen but, after all said and done, whats the real purpose of this experiment? I really dont get it... so much money there for what? i really dont believe anything that they say but... i know i cant do anything to stop them... or maybe ask so called 'bin laden' and his crew to bomb that place up!
truth is nowhere near us! sad!
peace! (clean one) thank you!

Let's hope the damage is contained within France and Italy.

@some_random_homo_'sapiens' : just because you don't understand what it's built for, it doesn't mean it is not useful for any purpose!

That construction embodies a remarkable progress in human history, the best scientist work on it and no worry: Getting sucked up by a black hole can't be very painful ;D

If anyone agrees with some_random_homo_sapiens, then maybe you all should go back to using stone tools. Not many people understand how a mobile phone works or even a microwave but in the history of humanity some very smart scientist, have had some very smart ideas, and gotten us to where we are today. I know it may be hard to believe but even in the days of those scientist (there were people who did not understand) what they were tiring to do and wanted to stop them. So if you want to go back to the days when the Earth was flat and lighting was a pissed off God then by all means stop any new scientific ideas and lets all take a big step backwards.

I also hear Black Hole insurance is dirt cheap right now, so you got that going for you.

It's a shame you can't report anything about a technical subject in the general public arena. Ignorant folks will respond with juvenile comments making light on something they know absolutely nothing about. Reminds me of this sage advice:

Never attempt to correct a pig... it wastes your time and annoys the pig!

Any chance of mishap is too much for me. I am not done here yet. Yes we have always experimented with danger but when do we stop? I don't think a black hole of any size is something to play with, even of only for a millisecond. Yes some of us do understand how cell phones and microwave work but I am not running 'trillion electron volts' as it is stated through my cell phone or my microwave, and if I was would you stick around? I just cant believe we spend this kind of money on these projects yet we cannot feed people and we use starvation and sickness as population control. This machine could fix the pop control but the Black Hole will still be hungry. Lets not spend billions on what or how we were created lets spend it on how we can stay alive before we run out of water and space to live, as the population expands and the world can no longer support what we are doing to it at this rate. Oh have a Good one. Bill

Hi!
the cern is funded from all european countries together. If you find that this is too much money for research, then you should (I assume your an american) first cut your military spending, which is hundreds of times more than the cern budget and much much more questionable.
greets
