Read the article and tell me what you think about this. A little unnerving if you ask me. Of course, it could lead to some fantastic discoveries if everything goes well.
EDIT: Yes, I am aware that Yahoo news totally sucks, but this article is rather interesting.

What I think of the article: Meh. Better than fall into the sun.
What I think of this

Oprah's gaze is painful. I said I never wanted to see this again last time I saw it.

It must be tough to relive the pain of seeing both Oprah and her odd looking trainer, huh.
-
This article isn't even news.
-
Yeah, the Earth was destroyed last week. Didn't you hear?
-
I'm concerned. You could spawn some serious Cacodemons with that thing. Or open up a resonance cascade. Or...eh, make a...Stargate? I'm out of sci-fi references.

Since when is it called the Atom Smasher? I've been hearing about it for years referred to as the Large Hadron Collider.
Also, "The theory could resolve many of physics' unanswered questions, but requires about 10 dimensions — far more than the three spatial dimensions our senses experience." I RAGED.
-
It isn't "the" atom smasher, it's an atom smasher. Because it makes them crash into each other.

Quirks are tiny things that make up everything and they are smaller than atoms.

QUARKS.

nensondubois's statement was perfectly accurate.

So what, maybe it will kill us, maybe it wont.

This sounds like one of the headlines Jay Leno would read on the air.

Thank God we have scientists devoting countless time and money to discovering completely abitrary information on things that may or may not even exist. Dark matter is so much more important than renewable energy and curing cancer.
Besides, if the Kirby series has taught us anything its that dark matter is incredibly dangerous and will give us all nightmares if they uncover it.

I've read about this on another forum. One person said that any Black holes created by this thingamajig would be too small and would evaporate too quickly to do damage to our planet.

Only if it has a giant eyeball in it.
I don't think that a degree in physics can help cure cancer. Plus, is a lot of people working on the same thing really going to help find a cancer cure or a new renewable energy source any sooner?
Also, who knows what good could come out of this project? Perhaps we could find a renewable energy source. We don't know until we try.
-
Just like in good old Alpha Centauri (a Sid Meier game): physicists like that bunch will give us clean, renewable energy from man-made singularities. In the year 6000.
-
The Romulans use artificial singularities to power their warp drive.

Dood! Another AC fan!
I think that just because some facet of science doesn't cure cancer doesn't mean that it shouldn't be funded. While space travel or astrophysics or whatever won't cure cancer, some really cool stuff is eventually going to come out of it, right?
-
If people finally decide to get with the program, yeah.
-
Yeah, too bad no one cares about space exploration right now. After a couple of moon landings, people stopped being interested in outer space. That's why we need to put a man on Mars as soon as possible. Once we get that back in business, we can start inventing hyperspeed and warp drive and Vulcans.
-
I believe we're going back to the moon first.
-
We should focus more on discovering alternate dimensions and time travel. I want to meet Future Glorb, and Cowboy Glorb, and perhaps even Female Glorb, within the next thirty years.

I just hope that The Chef Prime and The Chef of Earth-2 don't try to kill me if I ever run into them.
