I think they should be required to post a bond of 10% of the value of the universe for their case to go forward...

... might produce a black hole or something else that will spell the end of the Earth — and maybe the universe.

It's worth the risk if we can finally get flying cars! And fuel them with food waste and old beer (nothing beats having your own fusion reactor).

I can’t believe they built this thing in HAWAII! What were they thinking? Shouldn’t it be somewhere where they can get cheap land? Like, I dunno, a desert somewhere?

I don’t see what the author, Dennis, is worried about. After all, Algore promised a couple of years ago that the Earth could not survive beyond 2016 because the U.S. had not signed on to the Kyoto freight train.

This is actually a very interesting issue.

If you have never read about it, any black hole, no matter how small, in the earth’s gravity field will oscillate back & forth though the earth, gaining mass will each passage, eventually eating up all of it.

Generating one would mean the end of all life.

While I doubt it will happen, it is a sobering thought.

The accelerator is in Switzerland, they are in the U.S. This is all about publicity for them, but they have no standing so the suit will get tossed.
