Two men have filed a lawsuit in federal court in Hawaii over what they perceive to be a doomsday machine.
They believe a giant particle accelerator will produce a black hole that will grow to swallow the earth.
Walter L. Wagner and Luis Sancho say that the European Center for Nuclear Research have trivialized the chances that the collider could produce a small black hole that could eventually consume the earth.
The Large Hardon Collider, (no kidding, that is what it is called!) will fire up protons to energies of 7 trillion electron volts before banging them together.
This is boggling to the mind.
While it is no real biggy in the atmosphere, as it happens thousands of times there, this is different.. It is being done in a laboratory environment far below the atmosphere.
Who gets to say yes or no to take this risk? Scientists?
Do you think this experiment should be allowed to proceed?
Do you think they should stop it, before it is too late?
What if they are wrong?
