    I don't know why anyone would try to stop it. It is not like it will do anything besides collide high powered lasers.

    Stupid black holes are now being emitted and going into power plants. Thank God that it was done in an area that believes in science. Here in the states, we would have a large group (republicans) screaming that it goes against God and we are not suppose to find out nature's secrets (unless it can be turned into a new WMD as laid out by the bible ) and a very small group of ppl screaming that it is destroying the environment (extremist greenies).

    It's French engineering. French engineering NEVER fails "gracefully."
