The Cosmos.

So I'm no astrologist. I don't fully understand the concepts of the universe - none of us do for that matter. But. I was recently reading about ALICE. If you're unaware as to what ALICE is...it is a "Large Hardon Collider"

-What that means in simple english is - This 'collider' is meant to take a deeper look into quark-gluon plasma. This is the type of plasma scientists believe created the early universe. So what ALICE intends to do is collide 2 certain types of nucli together to see if they can re-create the universe.

Am I the only person who sees this as very disturbing?

I can't be. But I mean really. Do we need to be trying to re-create the universe? What if it opens some black hole? - I guess that wont happen seeing as how black holes are from dead stars. (You did know that right?) Or what if it just simple destroys the world? Like I said, I'm no scientist, but the whole thing just seems odd.

Here's hoping to the future.
