Comments on: Big-bang project sparks cosmic response

Tech companies line up to lend their technologies to the billion-dollar project in an attempt to prove or disprove the theory of how the universe began.

It would be interesting to find out how the universe was first formed but what happens if somthing goes wrong with the machine or somthing diastrous happens to the planet has anyone thought of these things?

I believe they are going to activate this friggin thing tomorrow. And if it fails, it will create a "stream of unstable black holes inside the earth..." ...so yeah...

Assuming all goes well, and everything works perfectly as it should, we're still not sure you recreated events properly. There are many factors to be considered, such as a lack of gravity, for example. You can't make the experiment perfect, unless you do it in space. Also, if this is to disprove the Bible, I'm afraid it never said that God didn't blow up a huge planet, and then recreate the universe after that. I'm rather aware that the 7 Days of Creation in Genesis are really REcreation. Any scholar will tell you that.

On another note, you are going to collide particles together to see what happens. May I ask a more important question than "Did the Big Bang happen"? Assuming the Big Band DID happen, where did the matter and mass come from that had to explode to start it? Still another thing you'll never know.

Who is to claim... That we weren't a mistake!?! God Bless" that mistake, however lucky for us/!
We could actually be correcting something that was a mistake!?!. . . Because like they say'' sometimes the elements in which make something so perfect'' are the imperfections~!!!

Last time or I should say first time It was switched on there was a earthquake in Bandar Abbas Iran.
They say the earth's magnetic core is going to reverse in the year 2012 the Mayan calender's dooms day prediction?
So do we really want for the to mess with the earth any more than we already have for the curiosity of some scientists?
The money cannot be justified, we should be using the money to save the planet for our
children.
