		<description>I don't know what all the fuss is about.  We all know exactly what is going to happen.  

The particle collision will result in a resonance cascade scenario and open up a dimensional portal to Xen.  Vortigaunts will then kill the scientists for their hubris, and then the government will send in marines to "handle" the situation.

Valve already told us all this.</description>

		<description>i dont know what to think. to be honest i am really worried but i do want to kow what will be descovered. but if there are worries that there will be destruction they shouldn't go on with it.</description>

		<description>Here are some wacky scenarios:
1) LHC will be used as a weapon or create a weapon for the Antichrist.
2) Assuming the equilateral distance relationship between Geneva and Moscow, Moscow and Jerusalem, and Jerusalem and Geneva, this might be a possible weapon range.
3) If you place a circle on the world map with the center being Geneva then USA, Greenland, South America, Australia, many parts of East Asia, and parts of Russia will disappear during LHC tests just like the show "Lost" as they move the island.  The countries left such as European areas and Muslim dominated areas, and Russia will fight for the remaining lands.  The focus will be in Israel.
4) LHC testing will cause disruptions or speed up the polarity changing of the earth.</description>

		<description>You know, there could very well be any number of hypergravitational points orbiting about a common center of gravity within the center of the Earth, and conceivably there could be any number of monopoles also accumulating mass in the Earth.

For that matter the Earth could be acquiring new micro black homes through cosmic bombardment provided holes and/or monopoles that were created in the first three minutes of the expansion phase of the Big Bang were still around some 10 or 20 billion years later.

I have to agree with the other comment about the doom-sayers being generally anti-science, motivated by occult superstitions as being the most vocal in opposition to super kitty colliders -- and everything else that's not mentioned in the classical Christanic mythologies.</description>

		<description>It's kind of a disappointment in so many ways. Scientists give Christian terrorists all the weapons they need to destroy all mammal life on Earth and yet they can't use their kitty collider to compact the Earth in one go?

Man, these scientists are FAIL.  They're not trying hard enough.</description>

		<description>They say that mini black holes evaporate due to Hawking Evaporation in far too  short a time to put the Earth at risk. Yet i have read that once a black hole has evaporated in such a manner, it becomes a naked singularity having now lost its event horizon. Naked singularities would destroy all the known laws of physics. What is the risk of this scenerio unfolding? Could we end up "forming" a naked singularity through the mini black hoels evaporating from the LHC experiement?????</description>
