Doesn't everybody smart know that everything in the cosmos is just a really sublime accident?

Seeing as how we are only human and have access to limited technology and the materials to make these kinds of machines and that our brain only uses 10 percent of its' potential which is the organ that controls our perception from the information we absorb from outside influences and through what we are able to observe which leaves all the scientists and physicists in this world just as screwed in their theories and predictions. We will NEVER even know what to look for if we don't know what it looks like or acts like seeing as how so much of our Universe is in the invisible spectrum and even taking in consideration the fact of the matters involved is that these same scientists and physicists who are the ones saying distressing words such as "so much things we don't UNDERSTAND" "Theoritically..." "The probabilities of something going wrong" etc... In the END we won't be able to see if they were right cuzz if they aren't we won't be able to even see the END coming cause we aren't being told what to expect or look for. I just hope that if something unexpected and bad happens it'll be fast and that we won't see it coming for my children's sake. Our lives and our planet is in their hands which leaves me in an uncomfortable state. my thoughts on the LHC is this: Common sense mixed with my basic understanding of science brings me to this conclusion.

In as much as i do believe that each reality or existing plane must emanate from individual perspectives and points of common intersection I don't believe there is the potential of technology actually being able to do much more than reduce the Switzerland site into another Richat Structure... but it still galls me that this kind of waste can be tried or the attempt made to execute it at any point of anyone:'s time frame. The unsettled state of world economics will also throw road blocks in the path of this type of irrational purposing... or perhaps it has been a contribution to at least part of the cause already. So, shame, shame to the scientic community who tries to put this over-blown, geek, science project into fruition... shame on your abuse of mathemathics, energy, and macro-systems because you just see what happes. We all no how thrilled Einstein was over the creation of the H-bomb and and how it haunted him... What a wonderful contribution that has been to the welfare of mankind. NOT! and can you say Chernobyl... I can! Wouldn't Einstein be proud of that travesty and the damage that has done. What total disregard and arrogance it must take to pursue a venture to which you cannot with certainty define its global consequence! It is and will remain cursed. you know what the fact is really? the fact is that the CERN can’t and doesn’t say that they know what will happen when they run the LHC and the fact is, that this should be a whole earth decision because of its potential to effect such… a handful of pompous, over stuffed, intellects should not have the right to experiment this way out of shear curiosity… its absurd, morally irresponsible and totally leaves me astonished that the grasp for glory should be squandered on anything of this magnitude… especially when the reality is we don’t know everything we need to know about the sea floor and our earth in general for the betterment of man-kind.
