I have every confidence in the professionalism of the personnel involved in the CERN project.

This is true, and no doubt the "its safe because the earth is here" theory is a sound one. But the facts & figures they're using are scary no matter how you look at it, 99.99% the speed of light, 600million collisions a second, simulate can't think of the right word the big bang one billionth of a second after it happened.
My father worked on that, it couldn't possibly go wrong.
However, if it does, it will be just in the middle of my exams, so at least I won't have to work for the other half!

I really hope not. We have spent so much money, time, and effort on nuclear weapons that it would just be a shame if some physics project got to destroy the world before nuclear holocaust did

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Does it worry anyone else that a machine capable of ending the entire universe has the instructions taped to its side? With one set pointing in an entirely different direction to the previous set?

Well since Paddys is no longer taking bets on the black hole perhaps you and Alizee can enter yourselves as candidates for this oneNo offence Big_John, but I was rather counting on just Alizee and me being left with the onerous task of repopulating the ravaged earth.
