Large Hadron Collider

If there is a chance of creating a black hole and destroying the Earth, then I don't understand why scientists would even do an experiment like this. So there must not be a very big chance of destroying the Earth. On the other hand, I can't see how they can do this experiment without causing any damage at all to Earth, whether its in the long run or immediate. Why is it such a big deal to know where we came from? Why are we spending billions of dollars to know what makes up atoms. When we do figure it out, what will be next? More life threatening experiments? I disagree with this experiment, why put all of Earth in danger for finding this out?

After Benjamin Franklin somewhat invented electricity, yeah things are easier and faster, but was it for the better. Now we have to worry about global warming and polluting the Earth, will this experiment if successful lead to more problems? Our society is moving too fast, we need to slow down and appreciate everything we have not try to keep making things "better". We should just let nature takes it toll and go along with it, and not try to mess with anything we don't know everything about.


I dont think we should be risking millions of lives, the existence of all mankind, and billions of dollars in order to find out more about atoms. It doesn't make any sense to me.
