Science sucks! In September and again in October, scientists are going to fire up the Hadron Collider in Switzerland. That doesn't sound too dangerous does it, or is it? Some scientist think this LHC machine might create micro black holes. Sounds kind of harmless right? NO. Black holes suck in energy and grow, or they could just evaporate. Either way I am thinking this might just be a bad idea.What does this mean to the average Joe like me? No need to worry about voting or global warming. For the next month I can go back to using Polystyrene products. My Bible warned me that something like this might happen. The end of time. What better way to destroy the Earth than suck it into another dimension. I only wish I could smack Al Gore in the face and tell him that he wasted his time. We need not worry about saving the planet any longer.
Well guys it was a sweet ride while it lasted, good luck!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland
Concerns have been raised about the safety of the LHC on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the collider might cause disastrous events, including the production of stable micro black holes (mBHs) and strangelets.[9][10] Several CERN-commissioned reports[11][12][13][14][15] and subsequently published research papers[16][17] have corroborated the safety of the LHC particle collisions. One research paper, posted on the web on 10 August 2008, reaches the opposite conclusion, stating that "at the present stage of knowledge there is a definite risk from mBHs production at colliders."[18] The validity of this safety assessment has been disputed.[19]
Boy, way to stay on top of things...

There is nothing to worry about. Consider this: not a single particle physicist (the ones that should know about such matters) has raised a concern. Not one, and there are thousands. A couple of guys that don't know what they are talking about, but like to have people listen, have raised concerns. This is not a serious concern.
