New atom-smasher could fill gaps in scientific knowledge -- or open a black hole (National)
Europe's enormous $8-billion particle accelerator, to be activated as early as this summer, is generating both excitement and fear.

Fear they should as this smashing machine mashes protons and lead ions together at energies reaching 14 trillion electron volts and could produce a miny black hole that may have the ability to gobble up everything in its path including earth.
Just the simple fact that this COULD be a scenario should make us all hesitant to allow some scientist to do it just to see what happens.

It is beyond getting permission as nobody should be allowed to permit such a thing unless they call themselves the almighty (GOD). The real scary thing is thinking that there are scientists out there who do NOT see this as an eminent threat to the world.

What kind of nut jobs do they hire to say that? They cannot be respectable scientists as they would not want to take on the responsibility of having a mishap that may turn into world inhalation.
