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?

"there was some suspicion that a nuke would provide a good propagation, but any sane man could see that even a nuke was limited"

Now you're grasping. In the turn of the century even things such as radiation was news. Those involved in the project couldn't calculate the spread (detonation area) of the reaction, which meant they could aproximate its density or pressure, which meant they could only guess at the temperatures involved, what those temperatures would do, and what any plasma would do to the reaction. (A plasma bubble could very well contain the reaction, concentrating the heat into enormous tempratures.) If the resulting temperature would exceed any known temprature was at that point anyones guess, and had nothing to do with sanity.

...so they gambled. With the world at stake, even if some few scientists would have gone insane, you really should listen to them carefully, because in the event that they really are the sane ones, the world ends.

...and why did they gamble? Basically no reason what-so-ever. Japan would surrender in a couple of months, and even if they would have slaughtered everyone in the US, the rest of the world would still survive it.

What happened was that the hairless monkey upstairs asked his subordinate monkeys if they were finished making the bomb, they replied "Yes, you just push this button, but we don't think that it would be such a good...", the hairless monkey upstairs shushed them, took the bomb and left, because if it's something that military brass accounts for, it's lack of intelligence, even for this pathetic spieces.
