- Oh please. The earth has been bombarded by Cosmic rays at energies far higher than are achievable by the LHC EVERY FREAKING YEAR FOR THE LAST 4.5 BILLION YEARS. And last time I checked we're still here.
Is journalism really so full of navel-gazing humanities graduates who can't tell one end of a screwdriver from the other, or is it our apparent demand for sensationalist bull-crap stories that perpetuates this type of ignorant reporting?

Oh, and one more thing, as someone astutely points out in the comments on the page: 'How are these dumbasses (the time-wasting litigants) going to claim if the LHC does somehow destroy the earth?' - Oh please. The earth has been bombarded by Cosmic rays at energies far higher than are achievable by the LHC EVERY FREAKING YEAR FOR THE LAST 4.5 BILLION YEARS. And last time I checked we're still here.

- Pseudo-science all over again. I think this was discredited somewhere else... you have any more tin foil hats, Gillonde?

- From the page: Sometime this summer, physicists are expected to make their first attempt at recreating the energies and conditions last seen a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang, using the $8 billion Large Hadron Collider, buried deep underground near Geneva at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN). This isn't your normal science experiment. The giant particle accelerator -- 14 years in the making -- has a circumference of 17 miles, which will allow researchers to smash atoms together at very high speeds. Scientists hope this will shed light on the origins of the universe. Others think the experiment will have the unfortunate side effect of destroying the universe. There's not much middle ground here, which makes the lawsuit filed last week in U.S. federal court so interesting. The suit, filed in Honolulu, seeks to stop the final phase of construction on the LHC. Walter L. Wagner and Luis Sanchon say CERN has not conducted a proper environmental impact statement as required under NEPA. Oh, and they also allege that the experiment could open up a black hole that instantly consumes the entire planet, and possibly much more.

- If it created a black hole it would be so small it would do virtually nothing to the surrounding area. It would at best make a tiny, tiny hole through the earth which would seal up instantly and make a loud noise on its way out the other side. Stupid fake scientists doing it wrong and fucking it up for the rest of us.
