Hope you all see a good Doc before posting anything further. I see this like kids talking about something and relating something. Grow Up. Humans made a mistake in building a machine. That is a human nature. There is nothing for an ET to anything. Hope you all believe what you hear/read. Read some science books. Learn about absolute zero and super conductivity. Also know the difficulty. Its not a easy task. Any one will make a mistake there. And so it happened. Stop the crap of posting your own thoughts. Lot of posts are like this. I need to go through and comment them when i have time.
hmm.

Do you know what a strangelet is?
Nobody knows because nobody - including the scientists at cern - has ever seen one or interacted with one. Nobody there knows exactly what they'll do when created here on earth.
But they do agree that they'll be created.
Theories from physicists around the world abound on what will happen when one appears at cern. Some believe that a strangelet may gravitate to the center of the earth and change gravity. Others believe that they'll make the earth a barren wasteland.
These aren't crackpots. These are Nobel prize winning Physicists theorizing this.
The guys at cern admit that they'll probably be created and that they don't know what will happen when they do. They have computed the probability of global disaster as "within an acceptable range".
What is the acceptable probability of destroying the planet or even the solar system?
These guys do not know what they're tinkering with - and they admit it. This isn't some simple scientific experiment and it isn't about egotistical physicists playing God. It is about egotistical physicists putting our entire planet in jeopardy so that they can see what happens when they mess with forces that they don't understand.
They're doing all of this to settle decades long arguments about whose theories are right and whose are wrong.
It's also entirely possible that they'll discover quantum matter or phenomenom that they've never even imagined yet. Quantum Physics is a relatively new science. Theories and knowledge have increased dramatically since this was even first planned - already forcing them to recalculate and retheorize what will happen when the particles start smashing.
It's really important to understand that this isn't a bunch of superstitious villagers with pitchforks in hand demanding that they shut it down. The guys who are arguing about the effects of this thing know more about particle and quantum physics than anyone here. They can't agree on the level of danger - but they do all agree that there is danger.
Unfortunately they don't tell you that on the cern press releases.
