Read some actual articles on it instead of taking your television at face value like a retard. A few random idiotic scientists decided that they'd mystify this new innovation and make it out to be theoretically risky, when in fact any such discussions of earthly discussions are (by said scientist's own admissions) purely conjecture.

On top of that, mini black holes aren't even the risk they they talked about, nor where they talking about the earth "consuming itself." They were conjecting retardedly that the accelerator could cause an imbalance in the "metavaccuum" and cause it to try to convert itself into a stabilized vaccuum, creating a multiple galaxy-wide catastrophe of complete destruction spreading at the speed of light for an indefinite if not nearly univerally distant period.

It's like the old conjecture that a single hydrogen bomb might create a nearly infinite chain reaction and destroy the milky way. In other words, bullshit.

BUT DISCOVERY SAID OTHERWISE! lol, you clearly weren't even paying attention to the program.

Is it just me or should scientists do more useful things.  Like the particle accelerator that is being built to test the big bang theory, if something goes wrongs, we could all die.  Shouldn't we worry about that stuff after we invent reliable renewable energy?

1. You are a fool. the Particle accelerator can NOT kill us all. You've got your facts all mixed up and, well, wrong.

2. You make it seem like no one is trying to discover a way to create renewable energy...Its not like inventing the fork. Working around the laws of nature as we know them is not something that comes easily.

Here's a legitimate study on the risks of the particle accelerator. It's conclusion? There's no basis for fear.

I'd love to see an explanation as to how a black hole so tiny that it disappears in less then a nanosecond could suck in sufficient mass quickly enough from a vacuum to survive more then a second.

No particle accelerator that man is currently capable of making could "kill us all" unless there's some new project I haven't heard of.
Where have you been?  The one in Europe will likely either 1)recreate a mini bigbang or 2)create mini black holes wich will call the earth to consume it's self

Every single source on the "potential threats" posed by the latest greatest particle accelerators usually eventually quotes the scientists involved, who mention that the risk of making the universe implode in on itself is only marginally greater than the risk due to random shit that happens in the Universe anyway.

No, it is not for testing the big bang theory. No, it is not the case that we could all die from the testing.
