Apocalyptic Speculation…End of the World..NOT!!
Scientists fired the first beam of protons around a 17-mile (27.36-kilometer) tunnel on Wednesday in science's next great step to understand the makeup of the universe.

It appears the world is still intact...

The Large Hadron Collider - built since 2003 at a cost of $3.8 billion - provides scientists with much greater power than ever before to smash the components of atoms in a bid to see how they are made.The skeptics theorize that a byproduct of the collisions could be micro black holes, subatomic versions of collapsed stars whose gravity is so strong they can suck in planets and other stars, disruption of the earths magnetic field and genetic mutations in humans.

“This is the biggest scary thing in history to protest about. These scientist freaks are threatening every single man, woman and child on the planet with death. They are threatening extinction to every life form and creature on earth. Can someone save us from these madmen please. We only have days left!The scientists should be arrested , they are terrorists threatening oblivion and mass destruction on all the worlds citizens. They are worse than Al Qaeda!” -Al Gore


"It's nonsense," said James Gillies, chief spokesman for CERN, the host European Organization for Nuclear Research, before Wednesday's start. CERN is backed by leading scientists like Britain's Stephen Hawking in dismissing the fears and declaring the experiments to be absolutely safe.
