Woo- Hoo! Life on Earth was NOT Annihilated by Physicists

So the Swiss have built the world's largest particle accelerator. And they tried it out today. Various crack pots were convinced that they would start some sort of reaction that would wipe out matter on earth.

Now that it's been tested, and we're all still here, I can go back to my rant. The US will spend billions on a war, and we can't invest in the hard sciences?

On the other hand, have you seen the fossil fuel energy required to run that supercollider?
