It's to bad other's think of this as a game of sorts.. It's easy to go along with other scientists conclusions and feel reasured that you're most likely safe. But I like to ask as many questions as possible, however unlikely and unfounded they mite sound. I'm not willing to put all my chips in on Hawkings "theory", We're relying on invisible radiation that we're pretty sure is there, to stop anything horrible from happening, Are you seriously willing to risk it all on this, I certainly am not.

Anything possible that could occur in the LHC has occured in the atmosphere a million times.&nbsp; Cosmic rays hit it EVERY SECOND.&nbsp; There is NO reason anything world-threatening could happen in the LHC that hasn't happened a billion times already.

prove to me these collisions are occurring in our atmosphere at speeds equal to or greater then the speed of lite, please. you and others are extremely defensive on this site, is this normal here?

After several days of not posting I want to continue this discussion about particle collisions in space and our atmosphere. I mite not have approached expressing my ideas and theories in the correct way, so I'll try a different approach. I originally started this thread due to my concerns over the CERN experiment in early October. I am curious to find out if these collisions that are due to take place have been conducted and recorded before in other experiments? If so what were the top speeds reached and what were the outcomes, if any? Can anyone enlighten me? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="font-weight:bold" class="Apple-style-span">@LEX</span> </div>

I'm not sure if you can't answer this question and are somehow frustrated by this, or your just an A-hole/ mad scientist that likes bashing people... &nbsp;If anyone different would like to continue this discussion then great, if not then whatever.</span> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="font-weight:bold" class="Apple-style-span">@LEX</span> </div>
