The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is set to perform the first full track particle beam tests on its 27 Km Large Hadron Collider (Lhc) that borders Switzerland and France, on Wednesday, Sept 10. Scientists believe this test, that will recreate conditions just after the “Big Bang,” will rewrite what we know about particle physics. Here is some science on why Lhc will not create a black hole that will destroy the world. See some awesome pictures by Max Brice, of the collider in various stages of construction.

Black holes from the LHC could survive for minutes

Sarah trust me your not the only one thats worried but you shud go to http://wolfsden.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/large-hadron-collider-will-not-destroy-the-world/#comment-661 < Im not as worried as before =)
that is so not fair about every one saying these thing about the world is going to end thats so not fair like im a 13 year old girl and i got shocked about what i was hearing in school so plz stop telling people the rumer ok because it freaks ou people and eny way its really a waste of money like its 4.4 billion like common thats just stupid
Watch the live video feed Wednesday, when CERN fires up the first full track test of its long hadron collider (lhc) in its attempts to produce bing-bang conditions, oh my.
