    They tried but couldn’t affect the laws of universe to do anything catastrophic … but they keep firing the thing without really knowing what will happen until it happens.

    It’s like a bunch of kids with access to firecrackers and thousands of pounds of TNT.

    Maybe nothing will happen … maybe something will.

      That is so meh… The entire thing started with some scientist made the mistake of not using dumb normal people terms when speaking with a journalist and instead used scientific terms. So there’s a theretical possibility it may destroy the earth. There is also a theretical possibility that the atoms of a pencil may randomly align with the atoms of the table it’s resting on and fall through it to the floor below.

      It will never happen of course but there is a theoretical chance it will happen just as there is a theoretical chance the the collider will destroy the earth.
