Almost scary...

In the coming months the most complex scientific instrument ever built will be switched on. The Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions right after the Big Bang. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe.

A man-made machine is supposed to reveal the secrets of something we know next to nothing about that happened long, long before we even existed?  The idea is nice, but it's just like a bunch of Nids building a machine to revive the Creatress (anyone ever see Melvin Goes To Dinner?).  And what could happen if things went awry?  What sort of adverse effects could a machine like this have?

      Maybe it will make another Big Bang. In which case, I'll see you guys in about.... oh,.... 30 billion years or so. ;D

      Guess we're going to need another chernobyl, but this time with black holes and stuff. I knew playing STALKER was going to pay off.

          What if they program a device to control the universe?
          what language would they use?
          X++ or the easiest language on earth:
          binary code?
          What if they have found a way to stop time and to get advantage as much as they need to beat all solar systems?

          The abscense of logic in this thought process is more confounding than the experiment mentioned...

          I thought it was pretty not funny. Note the not.
