On Septembe 10 2008, the world’s largest scientific instrument and particle accelerator will be switched on by Lyn Evans. The instrument is called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and was built by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). The LHC has been built at a cost of 4.4 billion pounds and took about 30 years of planning followed by 10 years to actually build it. The Large Hadron Collider is a 17 mile doughnut shaped tunnel and is the world’s biggest atom smasher. Sub-atomic particles will collide and get smashed in this tunnel at the speed of light. The CERN scientists are hoping that this experiment will lead them to understand the birth of the universe better. The atom smasher will recreate conditions exactly similar to the conditions that prevailed during the Big Bang.
According to the CERN website,
It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe.
Two beams of subatomic particles called ‘hadrons’ – either protons or lead ions – will travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining energy with every lap. Physicists will use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world will analyse the particles created in the collisions using special detectors in a number of experiments dedicated to the LHC.
The LHC is located near Geneva on the border of France and Switzerland. The experiment will be conducted at about 100 metres below the ground.
This experiment also has many others from around the world protesting. Some believe this is the start of the end of our planet.
Scientists also hope to shed some light on the invisible material that exists between particles – dubbed “dark matter” as no one knows what it really is – which make up most of the universe.
But a handful of scientists believe that the experiment could create a shower of unstable black holes that could “eat” the planet from within, and they are launching last-ditch efforts to halt it in the courts.
One of them, Otto Rossler, a retired German chemist, said he feared the experiment may create a devastating quasar – a mass of energy fuelled by black holes – inside the earth. Jets emanating from it would grow and catastrophes such as earthquakes and tsunamis would occur at the points they emerged from the earth.
“The weather will change completely, wiping out life, and very soon the whole planet will be eaten in a magnificent scenario – if you could watch it from the moon. A Biblical Armageddon. Even cloud and fire will form, as it says in the Bible.”

If you are still alive and well after September 10, then you have survived and the experiment did not eat us up.

High energy collissions are not expected for weeks or months, and possible negative effects could require years or decades to become visible.
Who are some of the more notable concerned scientists?
Visiting professor of Physics Dr. Rossler is famous for his contributions to Chaos theory and founding of Endophysics.
Senior Physics PHD Dr. Rainer Plaga also wrote a paper concluding CERN has failed to prove safety. Dr. Plaga proposes CERN SLOW DOWN and implement feasible risk reduction methods.
Former cosmic ray researcher, California math champion and Nuclear Safety Officer Walter L. Wagner discovered flaws with CERN’s safety arguments. He calculates stable strange matter creation (particularly from Lead Lead collisions) and dangerous micro black hole creation has not been excluded and might as likely prove catastrophic.

I would like to know more about this. Has any research been done as to how if in anyway this could enhance life as we know it. I’m a very spiritual person, and I would like to know what clerics are saying about this. The story has disappeared from the media. What’s the latest
Man and God
IT IS THE GOD WHO MADE THE UNIVERSE (CONTINUOUS CREATION THEORY ) RATHER THAN MAN ( BIG BANG)
MAN WANTS TO REMOVE THE NAME OF GOD FROM UNIVERSE ORIGIN . BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT HE WOULD BE FAILED IN HIS EFFORTS.
Expert opinion as regard LHC experiment conducting at Geneva.
1. BIGBANG THEORY :- Producing conditions just after Big bang i.e. Formation of Quark-gluon plasma at high temperature in LHC and there after formation of protons neutrons by cooling does not mean that Big bang had occurred . Protons and neutrons got mass by virtue of mass properties of basic building blocks (smallest mass particles of which every thing is made up of ) rather than any other way .
2. STRING THEORY :- It is being believed that particles are made up of more fundamental constituent called strings which are vibrating in nature etc. etc. .LHC experiments is unable to break matter beyond quarks and gluons. So it is difficult to get strings as proposed in string theory.
3. MULTIPLE UNIVERSE THEORY :- There is no observation in astronomy and astrophysics that could prove existence of multiple universe. Super Symmetry particles have neither being seen nor being made to prove Einstein’s dream.LHC experiments could never produce such high energy particles.
4. DARK MATTER THEORY :- No doubt that 96% of the matter in the universe is DARK. Dark matter could only be visible by participatory science. It is made up of hyperons and it is forming boundary of our visible universe and it is expanding with velocity of light . LHC experiment could not produce it .
5. STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS :- Higg’s bosons are not the fundamental particles. It is the basic building blocks which are fundamental particles and they are made up of mind and mass. LHC experiment is unable to produce Higg’s Bosons as predicted by standard model. Basic Building Blocks could only be seen by participatory science.
