I have been reading people's reactions to the news on abcnews.com's article about the powering up of the collider and how the world didn't end. It's interesting to hear people's intriguing thoughts, and also hear how
Most of the technology that we take for granted today is a result of people who have ideals and who are curious about the world around them. Lets not forget that they are responsible for dragging us out from the dark ages and allot of people are still mad about that because they see it as going against the will of god. Like what do they know what is the will of god. From some book written by a bunch of credulous goat herders. We would not be were we are if it were not for these evil scientists and their heretical blasphemous scientific endeavors. With out them there would be no space programs, industrial revolutions much less the military industrial complexes. We would still be burning witches and lamenting over our state of poverty. But hey those were the good ol days of old time religion.Mark As ViolationPeople are dying every day of cancer and AIDS and THIS is where we aim our focus?So what are they trying to say, do I need to start paying my bills again?I am amazed at why religion comes into play with this at all!!!It really shows that people who don't have science eduaction are afraid of things they don't know anything about, keep it up, its amazing.This isn't going to create a black hole, do you even know what that is? Its going to help explain nonelectromagneitc interactions for the standard model of particle physics. Maybe people are just offended that the Higgs Boson is nicknamed the "God Particle".You people are missing the point. When the machine is really fired up it may swallow the planet...or we can just wait for Palin/McSame to do the same thing.Mark As ViolationThe farther we push forward into science, the more I'm convinced God is just some fat kid with an ant farm and a magnifying glass.I almost wish that it would've blown up and sucked up thousands of people into it. Then, maybe scientists would learn their lesson that spending $8 Billions dollars on a pretentious ego-stroking project would be better spent on the hungry and poor in our world. In fact, look how much NASA spends per year on sending their toys into space. That money could be better prioritized as well even if only to lower tax payer dollars.fastrivers - The last of these "pretentious ego-stroking" accelerators resulted in the creation of the internet that you are now using as a medium to rip on these big "wastes" of tax dollars. Go back to your cave...duh ... of course it didn't work ... you can't recreate what God has done ... YES i'm one of those spiritual people that don't believe in this "stuff" (for lack of being able to use a more appropraite word) ...What? The world did not end? What went wrong?Ooo! Ooo!! I've got a theory for the origin of the universe! It's really good! Check it out!...(clearing throat)...In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth...Trying to recreate the start of the universe is impossible unless you are God. Big bang theory = zero, God = one. Nice try!It's a shame this wasn't done in the U.S. Again we fall down on the scientific front. Next we may very well have Palin/McCain (reverse order intentional)and we will truly be in the dark ages. Protons? Neutrons? gosh doesn't that go against the whole "from the rib of Adam" theory? Ahhh yes, isn't religion wonderful? To all the scientists out there, just say you are researching god, it will remove any barriers in place. That is how they sold television to the fanatics in Saudi Arabia. They told them that prayer could be broadcast. Too funny.Some secrets of space are best left alone and not meant to be discovered.

Some of the comments were intriguing. Others...just dumb. I'm excited to see what discoveries will come about as a result of the research. I was pretty pissed off today when I heard on NPR that they were in the middle of building a collider back in 1993 in the US that would have been bigger than the one they just turned on when the government scrapped the project (after spending 2 billion dollars, of course) to save money.
