Is it right decision to conduct Large Hydron Collider (LHC) experiments on Earth ?
1. Wrong. They know the speeds of the particles and therefore their exact energy and the maximum amount of heat which any experiment can generate is as known. The LHC only accelerates particles to about 10^-4 J. That is about the same energy as a pin dropping a few meters. Not likely to damage anything… let alone the Earth. 2. The experiments do not depend upon the Big Bang. Lots of other natural processes produce fast moving particles — the sun, cosmic rays, x-rays, nuclear decay, etc. The LHC won’t do anything that nature doesn’t already do. If anything happens CERN and the EU will be responsible for it. There is nothing extra-ordinary about the experiments. Your TV, cell phone, smoke detector, etc. all fire high speed particles around all the time. The LHC just happens to look at one particle at a time. If it fails, the EU is out some money. However, it hasn’t failed. It has been operated successfully, has provided research into various particle collisions and there is no reason
