The problem with this experiment, knowing the possibilities that could happen, which could be nothing, through to any thing, do the twenty or so scientists have the right to change the world for all the others, what is it, roughly 6.2 billion people, who it seems don't appear to have a say, surely a momentous occaision such as this, we should all have an input?
Although I am a observer of science, I have a difficulty in it, that difficulty is, because it can be done, should it ? Many things can be done, but they aren't done for various reasons, but I feel that once scientists have revealed the possibilities that could happen following an experiment, should they go ahead and just do that experiment, and bollocks to all else, as if they seek only to prove and see their name in lights, forgetting all else, else why do they do it ?
Science is all wonderful, it is a help to mankind, but there reaches a point where science is a hindrance to mankind, and can even be the destructor of mankind.
All I am bothered about, is this thing that is happening on Wednesday at CERN, and the possibilities that could affect all of us, and we as a population of this planet appear not to have a say.
Like as not the thing will do nothing to our society, we will carry on as normal, a theory might be proved , but I am a firm believer of the random variable, in that what can go wrong often will.
