The Large Hadron Collider : Big Bang v2.0

Dr Brian Cox takes us on a tour of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva - the biggest, most complicated machine ever built. Once switched on, it will allow scientists to recreate the conditions that existed in the first moments after the Big Bang. Brian and other CERN scientists explain what results they hope will emerge from the most exciting scientific experiment of our time. To learn more, visit www.labreporter.com (less)

" also, the narrator was a total looser." It's loser, not looser, and the narrator Brian Cox is a genius. He also was a keyboardist for a couple of rock bands, is married to Gia Milinovich, and works for the hottest science experiment in the history of science. Methinks "loser" couldn't be a less accurate adjective.

I look at the scale of this thing and think : what if they run the first experiments, discover something unexpected and say "We need one just a little bit bigger."?

I'm also struck by the though : What if ever 15B years or so some life form builds one of these, miscalculates the consequences, and big-bangs themselves out of existence, only to be replaced by lifeforms doing the same thing the next time the universe cools?

After wiring our planet to self destruct it would be a bit of a lark to take the whole cosmos with us while we are peacefully cooperating in the search for knowledge.
