is it a joke? google turns up limited info but it looks like an international scientific effort to study universal physics. Located just outside Geneva in an underground cavern. What is the video showing?

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one of several types of hadrons) with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson. This would supply a crucial missing link in the Standard Model and explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border between the Jura Mountains and the Alps near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is operational and is presently in the process of being prepared for collisions. The first beams were circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are expected to take place after 6-8 weeks.

Although there have been questions concerning the safety of the Large Hadron Collider in the media and even through the courts, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is no conceivable threat from the LHC particle collisions.

the video is a joke but the truth is that may be REAL one day.... thay say if the study goes wrong we can create a black hole........people can just enjoy life, thay have to have to be analysis to everything.

ahh, ok. thank you. Do not fear scientific exploration. They said the same thing about the first nuclear test.

My buddy works at the Stanford nuclear accelerator, I bet he's all up on this stuff.

I dont fear it, just dont really understand it, well some of it I do. But 10 Billion to make this thing? uumm I don't know...

But science is a wounderfull thing, if there was no science I would not have a job right now, and so forth.

there's a good show on the history channel about it...looks absolutely amazing, even if it proves absolutely nothing. It's the biggest man made machine and building in the world!
