Fermilab still playing Higgs hide-and-seek
As the Large Hadron Collider prepares for its first particles, the ageing Tevatron is unwilling to concede the race for the Higgs boson.
When the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) finally fires up its particle beams in a month or so, many physicists hope that it will find a long-awaited prize: the Higgs boson, thought to confer mass on other elementary particles.
As the most powerful particle collider in the world, the LHC will draw hundreds of physicists to its home at CERN, Europe's particle-physics facility near Geneva.

Man's technology has exceeded his grasp. - 'The World is not Enough' Zealous Nobel Prize hungry Physicists are racing each other and stopping at nothing to try to find the supposed 'Higgs Boson'(aka God) Particle, among others, and are risking nothing less than the annihilation of the Earth and all Life in endless experiments hoping to prove a theory when urgent tangible problems face the planet. The European Organization for Nuclear Research(CERN) new Large Hadron Collider(LHC) is the world's most powerful atom smasher that will soon be firing subatomic particles at each other at nearly the speed of light to create Miniature Big Bangs producing Micro Black Holes, Strangelets and other potentially cataclysmic phenomena. CERN physicist Alvaro De Rújula in the BBC LHC documentary, 'The Six Billion Dollar Experiment', incredibly admits quote, "Will we find the Higgs particle at the LHC? That, of course, is the question. And the answer is, science is what we do when we don't know what we're doing." And CERN spokesmodel Brian Cox follows with this stunning quote, "the LHC is certainly, by far, the biggest jump into the unknown." The CERN-LHC website Mainpage itself states quote: "There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions,..." Again, this is because they truly don't know what's going to happen. They are experimenting with forces they don't understand to obtain results they can't comprehend. If you think like most people do that 'They must know what they're doing' you could not be more wrong. Some people think the same thing about medical Dr.s but consider this by way of comparison and example from JAMA: "A recent Institute of Medicine report quoted rates estimating that medical errors kill between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year in US hospitals." The second part of the quote reads "...but what's for sure is that a brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator,..." A molecularly changed or Black Hole consumed Lifeless World? The end of the quote reads "...as knowledge in particle physics goes on to describe the workings of the Universe." These experiments to date have so far produced infinitely more questions than answers but there isn't a particle physicist alive who wouldn't gladly trade his life to glimpse the "God particle", and sacrifice the rest of us with him. This quote from National Geographic exactly sums this "science" up: "That's the essence of experimental particle physics: You smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out."

No string theory, no compactified dimensions, no supersymmetric Standard Model. A weak founding postulate is failing, contingent theory vs. observation. If the vacuum is chiral rather than isotropic in the massed sector: barygenesis favors matter over antimatter, inflation is fueled by the pseudoscalar field, biological homochirality is the default. An Eötvös experiment contrasting single crystal test masses of space group P3(1)21 and P3(2)21 alpha-quartz is the probe - a vacuum left foot being fitted by right and left shoes, respectively. Somebody should look.
Let's review the messed-up logic: CYCLIC ILLOGIC #1 1A) Because the Big Bang is perfectly proven undisputed fact obtained during a direct telephone call to God The Creator himself, the fact that the Big Bang occurred just like we know for certain that it did logically implies that these little black holes dissipate. VERSUS 1B) We have spent billions of Euros on this thing to prove whether the Big Bang occurred or not, because we are not sure that the facts support a key criterion on which the Big Bang depends. CYCLIC ILLOGIC #2 2A) Because input stimuli in the LHC happen in nature all of the time, the LHC is perfectly safe. VERSUS 2B) We have spent billions of Euros on this thing, because we have never observed the outcomes of the LHC in nature. 1A and 1B cannot both be true. 2A and 2B cannot both be true. To produce different outcomes than seen in nature, evidently the LHC actually does induce different input stimuli than possible outside of the laboratory, or else we would have already been able to observe the LHC's wonderful outputs already in nature. Even people with very high IQs can be very stupidly illogical. Book smarts are not street smarts!
Cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere occur daily at energies that are many order of magnitude above those achievable with the LHC. The claims that these experiments may hasten the demise of mankind are baseless as the processes that will be observed at CERN have been occurring on earth before the dawn of mankind. Particle accelerators simply allow us to reproduce high energy interactions that occur naturally within a controlled environment thus making precision study possible.
