It might surprise some people but anyone who wants to do a major physics experiment like the LHC, first has to apply for permission to the countries involved and provide a breakdown of costs, expectations and dangers.
The worst case scenario with the LHC is that it might catch fire and damage any buildings nearby. This is why it's underground and it has a major fire safety system that floods the entire thing with foam if anything goes wrong. As for black holes destroying the Earth, the LHC doesn't create any more energy than cosmic rays do when they strike the upper atmosphere, it's just rather difficult to study those due to not knowing where they are going to happen next so they do it in laboratory conditions underground instead. The bottom line is, they wouldn't be allowed to do something that might destroy the Earth. But maybe the pope is right and there is some level beyond which god doesn't want us to know. ---In [email protected], <hepa7@...> wrote : Pope Francis Warns Large Hadron Collider Could 'Open Gates of Hell' http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/pope-francis-warns-large-hadron-collider-could-open-gates-of-hell/ http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/pope-francis-warns-large-hadron-collider-could-open-gates-of-hell/ Pope Francis Warns Large Hadron Collider Could 'Open... http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/pope-francis-warns-large-hadron-collider-could-open-gates-of-hell/ Pope Francis pleaded the scientific community to halt operations on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) this morning in an official Vatican release as scientists at t...
