User ID: 124430 United States 02/23/2010 06:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We can't even experiment anymore without some legal BS getting in the way. Could you imagine the Wright Brothers trying to get "permits" to test their plane! Let us not forget the first nuclear reactor was constructed and ran under a tennis court LOL. Same scared idiots (must be genetic) afraid of a discovery that might turn their little worlds upside down. That's all there is to it.

That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know." |

The big problem is the religious fanatics that are afraid that this experiment will disprove God's existence, though none of the CERN scientists has declared something like that. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 810898The thing is, no secular scientist will refuse the idea of a pantheistic god or even a multidimensional creative energy, or even a multidimensional creative consciousness or whatever. Scientists dont know everything about the universe, but we aspire to get the quenstions answered instead of just thowing our hands up and saying god did it. Secular scientists who have problems with religion have a problem with the morons insistance that, the proud arrogant sadistic god of the bible or other religious texts is GOD, and that he/it/she gives a crap about us.

I suspect that much of the hysteria wouldn't even exist if the media hadn't have started calling the Higgs Boson the 'God Particle'. OP - the reason no-one has successfully taken CERN to court is because the science - and the associated risks - are relatively well understood. |
