The LHC won't destroy the earth

Suddenly, everyone is talking about the LHC, and how it will recreate the big bang (it won't) and how micro black holes will destroy the earth. A few days back, my uncle told me that the world is about to end. Then friend and fellow blogger ad libber was asking me about it. Yesterday, it was all over TV, and they were saying the same thing.

Much as I would like the earth to be destroyed ( exams being very close ) , experts in the field assure us that no such things are about to happen. In fact, some of them seem to have gone blue in the mouth from continually having to reassure the public. So people, please get the message: LHC isn't going to destroy the earth. See the CERN safety report or this .

For what the LHC will do, check this out.
