Actually, I was watching a very interesting show on dark matter the other night and this included the LHC. While I also find the idea fascinating and extremely useful for mankind, I very much share the concerns of Jurisdiction. There are tie-ins by American corporate and government interests here. Further, the globe comes down to money center power forces, specifically 10 Central Banks located throughout the world. If you could ask who now runs this globe, you could safely say it is these men. The real concern is that these are the same men whom have created a business model of excess debt and the business cycle ALWAYS end result is depressions, provide little true value for manufacturing money at will for governments and have in the centuries past, funded each other's host nations adversaries for massive debt/war profiteering. The Central Bank of France for example creates money for the Bank of England in the Napolean Wars while the English Central Bank funded Napolean himself. The consolidation of this horrible model has reached a head. These Central Banks now more or less control this globe and are responsible for the current depression. Unfortunately, the last two global crisis' (1907 and 1929) spawned the last two global wars.

Hi Ebenonce, welcome to RagingDebate! You bring up a great question that not many people seem to be concerned about. With the economy crisis front and center distracting nations across the globe, no one seems to be paying attention to the mad scientists playing God with the most expensive machine ever made. I'm not sure what the answer is honestly. If they go ahead and start experimenting with this thing and end up creating a black hole or strange matter, it's not like they can really be held accountable for it after the fact.

Great article! I've been following the project as well with skepticism, but also with optimism. The LHC project *is* a massive Geo-political and financial undertaking that could undoubtedly plug some of the holes in our modern physics theories. The Higgs Mechanism is only scratching the surface on what the LHC can theoretically produce, with breakthroughs possible in our understanding of dimensions, dark matter, and even gravity. We're talking life changing science here. Your angle is not the minority, but I would add that our level of science would not be where it is today if mankind continuously decided to hold off, or wait for feedback from nations who would eventually reap the rewards of advancement anyways. Much like the concerns of burning a hole in the tectonic plates or setting the atmosphere on fire during the use of the first atom bomb, there is always risk in science. Who shares the risk is a very legitimate thought however. Should only the leading nations decide for the rest of the world? It's a global economy now, and a new global organization needs to be born if second and third-world nations would ever have a say. NATO surely isn't the answer.
