I am an engineer at the largest nuclear power station in the United States, so I have a very analytical outlook at life. I think this is a major milestone in our history, not because we are going to find 7 other dimensions of which we have no real explanation for, or we are going to unravel the time space mystery, but because we tried. As mankind has progressed through history we have continued to try to increase our knowledge making leaps and to get there we need to of course try and this is the next big leap. Every theory needs to be tested and this is actually testing multiple theories and looking deeper than we ever have, as a result of our normal evolution. If we came up with the idea and an implementaion strategy and then did nothing we would fail to better ourselves and to evolve further. Even if we find nothing at all and smash some atoms, we had to try.

For those who live under the preassumtion that God is almighty and this is a creation of Satan, remember that if it is then it was predetermined and your rantings will not change a thing and that your comments about the devils work is being done are unwelcomed to those of us who are trying to better ourselves and increase our understanding rather than live behind the shadow of religon. For us who are not on your playing field, your comments are not going to change our minds or stop CERN from lighting the LHC up for a bit of a spin, so please stay in your group and complain about the world until your hearts content and please don't come out until your ready to make a sensible contribution to mankind.

I for one am terribly excited and would love to be there for the first run, or even to just look at the LHC.

I just happened on this web site and have no clue as to what I just said. Absolute meaningless yak. The kinda of stuff that sells modern science, you know, like global warming.

Hey Sarah did you even know your "bible" was written hundreds of years after the supposed death of christ…a book written a 100 years after a great event…think it might of changed a little? OR A LOT! Science is fact, religion is fiction.

You know not what you are saying against a God who loves you so very much, and would let his own Son die so you could be forgiven of those sins of which you speak. I find it fascinating that the Bible has shown several times in the history of the world where man has become so full of himself and thought he could recreate what only God himself can create. This LHC is part of the overall plan that Satan has to convince the whole world that there is no God and that he can create any miracle, even the miracle of creation. God will show himself to be real, and every knee will bow and confess Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Lord and Savior, and the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The bible tells us that Satan will attemp to counterfeit the miracles of God, and many will believe the deception. This LHC machine will create more misery in the world than anything good, because it is an attempt to explain what only God knows, and it is attempting to make humans like God. God already told us this time would come. Christians, hold on to your faith and your Lord Jesus Christ, and the holy inspired Word of God, because it is going to be a wild ride for the rest of humanity.

These guys talk like "extra dimensions" are a given! So, let's seee, they "string" together a bunch of whacko mathematics, con people into blah blah blah blah"

I almost can't wait until the results start appearing in the literature for the LHC. One thing is for damn sure – whatever we find, it's going to be unexpected. Yieew!

The fact that the String theories are so hard to understand and to experimentally verify does not make them wrong.

There is no rule that tne universe should be able to be understood by theories that only require equations that can be successfully taught to the average 16 year old.

It is possible that 'reality as we perceive it', may be only one of many possibilities. So the 'failure' of string theory to accurately predict ;our type of universe;, may well be telling us something we don't like, and yet be correct!
