"Protons will be fired through a 17-mile tunnel under Switzerland and be made to smash into each other... The experiment is aiming to capture an image of the conditions that existed a billionth of a second after the Big Bang.
...what was less of a secret was the much-hyped danger that it may create black holes that would eventually tear the Earth apart."
So in the quest for a tiny particle in a proton and an explanation for 1/1,000,000,000 of a second, Switzerland risked the entire planet. I feel like we all should have gotten a memo, or a vote, or something.
...
Dear Sir,
I just wanted to inform you that we will be conducting an experiment that may or may not blow up the planet. You're support is not required, but strongly suggested.
Sincerely,
Switzerland
