As I type this, CERN are about to begin their 'Big Bang' experiment. Some fear it will create a black hole which will destroy the earth. I think it is a bit like finding a child with a collection of chemicals and a box of matches, and I do wish scientists wouldn't mess about with things so much, but I doubt that the Earth will end just yet. I suspect that it will be an anti-climax, as with most major experiments. Mankind doesn't have half the knowledge it thinks it has, and our quest for more will be never-ending.
The worst case might be that it will cause an underground explosion which may, in turn, cause tremors upsetting cups of tea. Or it could effect any local volcanic activity.
So, life will go on generally as normal ... for now.
Well, if the potential cure for cancer comes out of this, im all for it. Our quest for more being never ending is what drives scientists Denise. Anti-climax? Don't think so.
