laff, the potential energy that they theorize will be created in these experiements is equivalent to 30x the power of the hiroshima a-bomb
and even at that power, the physical size of this "mini-bang black whole of energy" will be far too small to be seen with the naked eye
the benefits far outweigh the risks, in the right hands.
can you imagine powering NYC for 24 hours with half a gram of "dark matter" as they call it? and @ 100% efficiency...that's 95% better then nuclear power @ only 5% efficiency
100% efficiency means no pollution, nothing wasted at all, and no byproducts either, think about that
the reason the facility is underground is not for fear of explosion, it was just the most convenient and cost effective since the LEP was there previous to the LHC
another reason might be the radioactivity related to accelerators...
