Multi-Billion dollar experiment.

oh is this that thing where they're gonna try to split an atom or something and theres a 1 in some odd chance that it could end the world? lol.

AH WTF! That thread didnt show up on my new threads list, wtf. Okay trash can this shit.

There aren't really specific odds as far as how likely it is that it will end the world, just a bunch of theories. Nobody really knows what will happen until they do it, though. Not really worth the risk, in my opinion, even if it's unlikely to do anything bad. What do we really gain from it anyway? Spend the billions it cost to do this on feeding people instead.

Fusion break throughts, possibly, understanding the big bang, and perhaps other things. They're also looking for a "god particle."

I like theoretical physics more than your average person, and would love to know stuff like that, but I still can't see how the information we might gain from it justifies the possibility that we might also end our existance, nor can I see how it justifies spending so much money on something like this when we could spend it on more practical things like medical/energy/technology research. As cool as I think it is, I think it's a big waste of money as well, with an unjustified risk involved.

all those damned scientists just wanna look big and important

I don't see any risk involved.

.. they're saying that the world could end, as in we could all die. its a very small chance, but still, there's a chance.

I don't see any risk involved.

Say that to eternity.

They already have the green-light, I have faith in those scientists. The only people saying it could end the world don't know what they're talking about.
