Large Hadron Collider

Now I'm no expert, but first the nerds built a fucking huge machine, right? I mean FUCKing huge.
Then they hook it up to the internet with poor security, for all the hackers and terrorists to tamper with. "Here's your very own city-spanning toy that deals in processes not unsimilar to detonating an H-bomb. Enjoy."
Then among the very first things they wanted to study, is how big bang occured.
Now hold the fuck up.
How the fuck do you go about studying how big bang occured without any proof or results? What are the results? A big bang. Not a contained big bang, because there ain't such a thing as a contained creation of a universe. The only possible result that would count as a success is an actual big bang, meaning bye-bye universe.

...so why are we pissing about with eachothers countries, politics, races and such shit, when we should be focusing on stopping the nerds from deliberately destroying the universe?

The atmosphere is made of air. Air is combustible. With enough heat, you can also separate air particles into plasma, and if this reaction in its turn is statitically exotermic, and hot enough to convert air around it into plasma, you have a chain reaction that will set all air on fire like a match would do to gasoline vapours.

The a-bomb wasn't a matter of rational minds conquering the unknown, because the science by then wasn't advanced enough to even conduct plasma experiments. It was a matter of the biggest testosteron dicks in the states going: "Let's blow shit up! I don't care if the japanese surrenders - I want to blow stuff up, damnit!" They had no clue, but they got lucky. Now this luck has gotten the nerds cocky enough to gamble not the planet, but the entire universe, on "This SHOULDN'T be that different from natural processes put into put into a completely different environment.". They're the limpest cocks around in the world, desperately trying to score recognition, and if you think otherwise, you overestimate the entire human race.
