Face it!

Just like the first atomic bombs. They weren't 100% on what was going to happen, but they were happy to gamble on it.

Mike, that comment is hardly a statement of fact. It's a just an opinion without a definitive answer.

No, they are not guessing. They have very precise mathematical models that predict a range of various results.

The very first paragraph of the Wiki site you posted says this:

Quote:
Two CERN-commissioned reports[4][5] have reviewed the safety of the LHC particle collisions and concluded that there is no basis for any conceivable threat.[6][7] The consensus in the scientific community is that experiments at the LHC present no danger and that there is no reason for concern.[8]
Your fear comes from your lack of understanding.
