WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE.

Quote:
The Cernier Company or CERN, the world’s largest physics research firm, is currently in the process of building what would be the world’s largest working supercollider. Known as “Large Hadron Collider,” or LHC, the device is 27 kilometers (16.7 miles) long and resides in a tunnel approximately 100 meters beneath the Franco-Swiss border, just outside of Geneva.
By accelerating protons toward each other at 99.999999% the speed of light the LHC can recreate conditions similar to those that resulted from the Big Bang, ultimately alighting a great deal about the particles and forces that comprise our Universe.

Ok.

Quote:
A press release from CERN better illuminates their intent for the project:
…Our current understanding of the Universe is incomplete. We have seen that the theory we use, the Standard Model, leaves many unsolved questions. Among them, the reason why elementary particles have mass, and why are their masses different is the most perplexing one. It is remarkable that such a familiar concept is so poorly understood.

First Japan and now NERV CERN. I'm getting sick and tired of these motherfucking scientists taking motherfucking global-scale risks. Although it would be pretty cool to come out of a black hole intact and with super powers.
How ya doing, buddy?
