I just want to know the exact spot to stand so I can get super speed powers like The Flash.

I'm supposing that by the time we would know there's a major problem, we'll be gone and we can't stop them, so, yeah, it matters, but, if we're still here to worry about it later, then we might learn something extremely astounding.

Who cares? Humanity is a worthless useless belligerent race that does not deserve to further pollute the Galactic gene pool.

I'm surprised you still have time to post here considering all the bookings you must have to entertain at kids parties.

Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
So that blind people can hate them as well.

  WC, didn't pass the security check, and as such can't do kids parties!
  
  Although, he probably still does kids YT videos, (all that cross dressing, dancing)!

Well you did.

People who "foretell" anything tend to have less understanding of science than anyone else. However they are masters of "pure ignorance".

  Yep, entirely agree. The Outback and it's inhabitants is a great example.
  
  In a previous thread (a few months ago I think), I gave links to many renowned scientists who expressed disbelief that this project is even going ahead, and they warned of the dangers.
  
  No matter what anyone says, we DON'T know what to expect from this . . . purely because it's never been done before. And that really is no reason to attempt it when you grasp the concept that we're not trying to make electrical advances here, or break the sound barrier, . . or even create some new techno fad. No. What's happening is they're attempting to recreate conditions that existed at the time of the creation of the universe.
  
  Do you comprehend the scale of the CERN operation? Not many do. And not many appreciate that the new set-up is twice as fast as it was 2 years ago - and untested in full operational mode. It really is quite scary.
  
  I'd love to say I told you so . . but none of us will be here to read about it if it all goes pear shaped. Ah well, I'll just look forward to the eclipse on Friday instead.
  
  Thanks

  I would be more worried about scientists building three lazers and creating an artificial wormhole!

  I know that this isn't it, but the lazer is probably similar to the one that could tear space/time!
  
  I find this pretty funny, spend 10 of billions on all of this, and ignore magnetic systems, (some of them do actually work).

Not a minuscule knowledge. And it is opinion. But it's based on sound physics. What is your "worry" based on? It sounds like a smart arse question, but I am asking sincerely.

It's been foretold? Really? Well, we should certainly listen, then.

(OK, that was a smart arse answer)

Thanks

This is probably a poor analogy.
To me it's about the same as using flint and steel to create a spark to start tinder on fire to demonstrate how lightening starts forest fires.

So, you're saying these guys with their LHC are going to create a little spark, which will quickly spread and engulf our entire existence?

Aw shit...

Nope. I'm saying that they are going to create a subatomic spark, that will help them understand how huge sparks are created.
