The Hadron Collider is a circular tunnel, 27 kilometers long and between 50 and 175 meters in depth underground. When activated it will consume as much power as a medium-sized city and operates at temperatures as low as -270 C. When you collide protons at very high energies, they explode and in the debris create new particles. The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will collide the protons from hydrogen nuclei at 99.999999 percent of the speed of light. The beams created will circle the inside the LHC completing a 27 Kilometer circuit 11,000 times per second. When the two protons collide, 14 trillion electronvolts of energy will be released. This could in theory produce new particles never before seen.

The energy of one beam is akin to a 400-ton train traveling at 150 kilometers per hour concentrated on one tiny point. One beam can incinerate a vehicle into, well, nothing. It is one hell of a weapon if aimed in the wrong direction. I fear that this is the reason that the LHC was able to illicit so much funding.

However, the good news is that even though experiments like the LHC add to human misery, but more importantly; to the ideas of free and safe energy resources. Like the atom bomb, the electronic age sprang from these concepts (remember this as you use your computer) and so too will a new age spring forward from the LHC. The question is: Will we be able to make sound and responsible decisions with the information that is gathered?

Then there are the black holes. Yes, there is a chance that one may be developed, and yes there are several lawsuits being enacted, ie: Walter Wagner (a former nuclear safety officer) in Hawaii will have a court decision a week after the LHC has already been turned on. I agree that the chances are small that we will see the "end" happen, and if it does, well I love you all and good bye.

Instead, I will be putting my intention towards the safe and responsible use of this data. I think that the timing was wrong for the world to spend so much money when there are so many in need right now, but I hope to see the world manifest a use for this information that will hopefully solve many of these problems.

Peace of Mind,
