Even if by some remote chance they manage to create a mini blackhole the thing is going to be miniscule and wont last more than a second or two.
If people want to get worried about exposure to subatomic particles then dont jump on a passenger jet or stop using your television.
No, the hurrier I go, the behinder I get.:rolleyes:Quote:

Apart from having to put up with belligerent and bombastic pain management doctors treating my wife its not to bad, :UQuote:

I have studied this entire issue carefully and am of the opinion that it is a case of mass hysteria. It can't possible result in any kind of catastrophic . . . eerrkkkkk!! Arrgghh! ... blip.
:oo: I heard them say last night that they shoot a partical round the 27km loop and it goes around 11,000 times per second. Cool huh!:cool: and pretty quick.:D
Wait 'til they fire them in opposite directions!(We could still be destroyed. Pass the Grange please)
That's about as fast as my company car getting home on a Friday afternoon :cool:Quote:

There are collisions between subatomic particles going on around you every day that release more energy than the collisions that will be going inside the LHC.

As well as generating a more powerful neutron beam the minitron can be turned on and off which makes the tool alot safer to handle at surface than a tool with a chemical source that must be loaded and unloaded from the tool.
There are countless other pieces of technology that we take for granted in our everyday life that have come about through experiments such as the CERN LHC.
