    physicists are expressing their strong beliefs, claiming that they will abolish religion. :)) Indeed the first silly thing I heard of.

    Again and again they repeat their beliefs about safety, based on a mix of theories, which some of them admit to be inconsistent, incomplete or even wrong. Such the safety arguments suffer from a particular circularity. At the same time the threat COULD be dangerous on a global scale. Then proceeding to say, as Ellis from CERN does, we hae to try it out, is not only cynical, is deeply unethical, if not criminal (because it is intentional). It violates the most basic rules of our societies.
    Ok, it is a large machine, even the largest ever built, but this surely does not allow to switch off the brains, getting fascinated and fanatized by the size alone (remember somehow to the stone ages). more on http://lhc.blogsite.org

    The articles authors state, "The more we learn about the universe, the fewer signs we see of an intelligent designer." That's correct if we compare our knowledge from middle age to now,and it will be like that forever in the future. Ari

    The articles authors state, "The more we learn about the universe, the fewer signs we see of an intelligent designer." Yet, there is no equivalent in nature to the highly complex RNA and DNA structures in all living things except for the complexity of the atom itself. Secondary to those, Earth has so many attributes that make it necessarily unique for human survival. Beyond that even, evolution is a model for horizontal species adaptation, not vertical species genesis, so it does not adequately explain the existence of modern humans. To believe that RNA, DNA, atoms, Earth and humans just 'happened by random accident', without any 'design' input is reaching into the realm of knowledge unknown. For the authors to make such a biased, unproven claim shows that either they have omnipotent knowledge or they have made an incompetent claim.

    in my humble opinion we shall discover that there are still a number of extra dimensions to be uncovered, possibly up to 9 more, and that all the universe is just energy and vibrations ranging in 12 dimensions or so. We should discover too that LOVE is the most powerful energy we can broadcast in these 12 dimensions even though it does not necessarily appear so when we look only at its projection on our known few dimensions.

    If human beings of the right thoughts and clear conciennce want to satisfy there beliefs in there studies,that is understandable and every action has the equal and positive reaction. if it is meant to be it will, but there is only one creator, we will only find out what we need to you watch.

    How fortunate for humanity that we can soon create a universe just like God. Will people be starving there too.

    How wonderful for us that we will soon understand all of God's mysteries. Now can we figure out why half of humanity is starving.
