Hadron Collider

Good, Bad or indifferent?
Many people have expressed great concerns, feeling as though this is a sign of the end of the world.
Has anyone stopped to think about what the cavemen would have said if you told them about hydro, phones or better yet the internet.
It amazes me how very few people seemed to know about the start-up of LHC. This is something that affects the world and everyone in it.
Crazy how we know more about sports or movie stars then we do about those things that may directly affect us.
Could it be that we are too afraid to think of what could become of this? Can we be just that focused on entertainment rather than real world events?
And one wonders why we have many of the issues in the world that we do today!
