Will the Large Hadron Collider kill us all?posted by Blaine · September 10, 2008 9:18 AM

Mention Experiment, Science, High Energy and Early Universe in one breath and you will undoubtedly get some ignorant savage expounding on how it will destroy the Earth and lay waste to modern civilization. After all, what else could happen?

So while its a shame that critical thinking isn't taught as a subject in our schools, there is an opportunity for us to turn to the web.  After all, don't you let the collective do your thinking for you today?

Which leads me to a site with Credentials.  With a domain name like ours, how could this public service not be authoritative? -  Has The LHC Destroyed The Earth?

[Haven't heard of the LHC? It's a nascent triumph of the particle physics gurus, a 27 km loop of vacuum built in Switzerland.]

* Egregious capitalization and sneering are all meant in the spirit of Science.  Yup, with a capital S.
