i have researched the hadron collider in detail the question is?
are we as a race just too nosey for our own good which could lead to the countdown of our own downfall ie:
total destuction from over-confident over-indulgent scientists or are ew embarking on a new gateway of human brilliance either way i still belive all our lives are in the hands of phsical scientists willing to push the boundries of scince at any cost.

Let's review the messed-up logic:

CYCLIC ILLOGIC #1
1A) Because the Big Bang is perfectly proven undisputed fact obtained during a direct telephone call to God The Creator himself, the fact that the Big Bang occurred just like we know for certain that it did logically implies that these little black holes dissipate.
VERSUS
1B) We have spent billions of Euros on this thing to prove whether the Big Bang occurred or not, because we are not sure that the facts support a key criterion on which the Big Bang depends.

CYCLIC ILLOGIC #2
2A) Because input stimuli in the LHC happen in nature all of the time, the LHC is perfectly safe.
VERSUS
2B) We have spent billions of Euros on this thing, because we have never observed the outcomes of the LHC in nature.

1A and 1B cannot both be true. 2A and 2B cannot both be true.

To produce different outcomes than seen in nature, evidently the LHC actually does induce different input stimuli than possible outside of the laboratory, or else we would have already been able to observe the LHC's wonderful outputs already in nature. Even people with very high IQs can be very stupidly illogical. Book smarts are not street smarts!

Finally an article that is entirely accurate. It is pretty and deadly. The latest article in 'Nature' magazine a highly respected journal for science reports the Higgs boson does not exist in the 170 GeV range and so the model is wrong.

Naturally the scientists at CERN have said they would stop if there was any likelihood there was a safety risk. Now that the science has been PROVEN wrong let's see how good their word really is ... (anyone holding their breath?)

Initial testing is reported to begin soon, but the first high energy collisions are not expected for a few months.
