I was really amused at reading those doomsayers warnings (they even went to courts in the US and Europe to try to stop the LHC).

They were fearing that the LHC would create something (a black hole or a stranglet or cause the decay of the false vacuum) which would kill all us.

Kill all us... so what is the difference? aren't we all sentenced to die? sucked into a black hole or lying on a hospital bed? I assure you that the black hole option is much quicker...

P.S.: the actual high energy experiments won't start until next year so we still have some very slight chances to spare ourseleves the hospital bed...
