LHC

So the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) went live this week. If you're out of the loop it's a proton accelerator. It will fire protons at each other so that they explode and the results can be measured. The data will be used to further understand matter, dark matter, etc.

Some groups feared that this process would form tiny black holes that would then detroy the earth. Clearly this hasn't happened. Anyway I've added a link to the web cam, check it out.

I heard about this in school. I think its alittle freaky actually. Scientist are so against believing God created everything. I think it was a waste of billions of dollars.
PS the web cams freaked me out! That scared me. For a second I was like "what the crap!"
