"The idea that humankind has gone to extraordinary effort and expense to contruct a black-hole-making machine shouldn't be all that startling. This is the same humankind that went out of its way to invent nuclear warheads, S.U.V.'s and deep-fried Twinkies-on-a-stick. There is nothing we enjoy more than sealing our own doom in the most creative ways possible."
~ New York Time columnist Gail Collins on some skeptics' predictions on the start-up of the Large Hadron Collider on September 10th.
