smashing atoms i.e. adios amigos


so hey, guess what, scientists are going to create a black hole deep underground this week! yehaw!!!

"The multibillion-dollar Large Hadron Collider will explore the tiniest particles and come ever closer to re-enacting the big bang, the theory that a colossal explosion created the universe. The machine at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, promises scientists a closer look at the makeup of matter, filling in gaps in knowledge or possibly reshaping theories.
CERN dismisses the risk of micro black holes, subatomic versions of collapsed stars whose gravity is so strong they can suck in planets and other stars. But the skeptics have filed suit in U.S. District Court in Hawaii and in the European Court of Human Rights to stop the project.""-AP


pleeeease tell me- is this really necessary? can't we do without knowing what happens when you try to recreate a black hole? who the *$)#% cares. science always act like these experiments will help all of mankind. well where is the cure for cancer? where is the cure for aids? where is the cure for war? until all the scientific energies figure out those few of the many problems we face on earth i could really care less about black holes. don't get me wrong i love science fiction but this is for real and i think it is kinda scary. like a cronenburg movie -only not filmed in canada.
lets just hope they know what they are doing!
