Today we have all heard the media hype about the Large Hadron Collider and how the end of the world could be today, well if that does in fact happen it will not be for a few more weeks yet.
The Big Bang Test and Cern atom smasher has worried millions of people around the world; with many of them believing that the Big Bang will happen today. This turns out not to be true, they are flipping the switch but it will take a couple of weeks to get both beams going in opposite directions and in alignment.
As we write this post the most expensive experiment and biggest particle accelerator has started, and it will likely answer questions physicists never thought they’d get answers to. We will update you over the days leading up to the Big Bang, but for now the very first collisions will not be for a couple of weeks until they have aligned the beams in both directions of the 17 mile tunnel.

I think that this hole exPeriment is stupid
im scared
to find outwhy the hell are we risking the lives of billions of people to find the answer that people can find in the answers section of a puzzle book
Is there a possibility that the bang will occur after few weeks?
i think its stupid, because its a loose loose situation really.
they do the experement and distroy the universe and then like never find out and then no one ever will.
why cant they waitt a few years until you know exactly what to doo to stop risking millions of people’s life’s?
were all not despirate to find out as soon as, im happy about learning about it like it is on the books, tbh i dont really care if its true or not.
peace.
The experiment thinks you are stupid too Emma. And as for you Bill, relax man no-ones gonna die.
i think this is so stubid!! y rist billions of people life 4 just a couple of peices of information!!!!!!!!!!! so many people are now in worry!! x
idiots the lot of you.
Uh Oh. I think I heard something.
Yeah, Emma, Stupid like you.
Hole-Whole Experiment.
Its worth the risk, the world is going to end someday, most likely a meteor/asteriod collision.
Things are not discovered by chance…
The media has just blown it all out of proportion.
Unless someone goes into space grabs 2 stars and collide them in this container at the speed of light… nothing is going to happen.
Its down to sheer mass
Dont worry, life will go on.
