LHC Out of Action until Spring

Man's technology has exceeded his grasp. - 'The World is not Enough'
Zealous, jealous, Nobel Prize hungry Physicists are racing each other and stopping at nothing to try to find the supposed 'Higgs Boson'(aka God) Particle, among others, and are risking nothing less than the annihilation of the Earth and all Life in endless experiments hoping to prove a theory when urgent tangible problems face the planet. The European Organization for Nuclear Research(CERN) new Large Hadron Collider(LHC) is the world's most powerful atom smasher that will soon be firing groups of billions of heavy subatomic particles at each other at nearly the speed of light to create Miniature Big Bangs producing Micro Black Holes, Strangelets, AntiMatter and other potentially cataclysmic phenomena as described below.(Risk Evaluations HERE.)
The LHC is a dangerous gamble as CERN physicist Alvaro De RГєjula in the BBC LHC documentary, 'The Six Billion Dollar Experiment', incredibly admits quote, "Will we find the Higgs particle at the LHC? That, of course, is the question. And the answer is, science is what we do when we don't know what we're doing."
The CERN-LHC website Mainpage itself states: "There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions,..." Again, this is because they truly don't know what's going to happen. They are experimenting with forces they don't understand to obtain results they can't comprehend. If you think like most people do that 'They must know what they're doing' you could not be more wrong. Some people think similarly about medical Dr.s but consider this by way of comparison and example from JAMA: "A recent Institute of Medicine report quoted rates estimating that medical errors kill between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year in US hospitals." The second part of the CERN quote reads "...but what's for sure is that a brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator,..." A molecularly changed or Black Hole consumed Lifeless World? The end of the quote reads "...as knowledge in particle physics goes on to describe the workings of the Universe." These experiments to date have so far produced infinitely more questions than answers but there isn't a particle physicist alive who wouldn't gladly trade his life to glimpse the "God particle", and sacrifice the rest of us with him. Reason and common sense will tell you that the risks far outweigh any potential(as CERN physicists themselves say) benefits.
This quote from National Geographic, "The hunt for the God particle", exactly sums this "science" up: "If all goes right, matter will be transformed by the violent collisions into wads of energy, which will in turn condense back into various intriguing types of particles, some of them never seen before. That's the essence of experimental particle physics: "You smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out." Read about the "other stuff" below:

Nice article.

I like the metaphore of hurling two clocks together fast enough to try to learn what the are made of.

And I like this physics stuff.

Maybe if we hurled physicist's heads together hard enough... They would see god.

I support 100% the experiments in the LHC and approve the money spent on this thing and want to see what the results will be. After all, humans transformed their planet because of creativity and curiosity, money were a secondary invention to keep less talented people intersted in their job.

If by any chance colliding 2 beams of quantum particles with enormous energy creates micro-black holes, and the latter grow and engulf the Earth, which is not plausible, it will be still wonderful for the humanity to perish out of curiosity and not because of some stupid nuclear war.

As for Nobel prizes, there is a funny quote by Richard Feinman. After he received his Nobel prize and got back from Sweden to the US, he learned that his IQ test in school showed an IQ of 125. His comment was: Its no big deal to win a Nobel prize. Now, to win it with an IQ of 125, thats something;)
