Have you looked at the page source for that yet? It's quite amusing.

[gesturejester]

yeah; saw that. The creators of this deadly-serious site seem to be a bit silly;)

Hm.

That's pretty asinine.

Even if you don't think that there is any threat from the LHC, it's not right to mock people's fears like that. It seems... Republican.

From what I've read (and I admit I don't understand the science very well), some of the critics think that the doomsday scenario might be a progressive one, as opposed to an instantaneous one.

[gesturejester]

That's fair. I think. (Although, I'm not sure exactly how it's "Republican.")

From what I've heard, the chances of the LHC creating, e.g.: a black hole, are much lower than the chances that radiation from the sun would do this on a daily basis... On the other hand, fears are fears.
