Well... This was just a test run to align the two beams that will eventually collide.
The colliding part is what people are scared of.
There's nothing to worry about. The scale at which the collisions are happening is nothing even close to the scale at which something needs to happen to cause something dangerous.
Kind of like this. Someone wants to experiment with explosions, so they create a device that has the capability to create explosions the size of a fire cracker. At the atomic level, you have enough of an explosion to carry out the experiments you want. You state you are experimenting to see how the universe was created by creating explosions, and then uninformed people make the conclusion that your explosions are the size of atomic bomb explosions.
People, out of ignorance and fear, are making that assumption.
They are not really creating the big bang, they are creating a very, very, very small big bang.
Exactly! Well put Baron. Also, the reactions they are worried about likely would have already occurred at some of the other large colliders that have been in use for years if it were going to happen.
But hey, if anybody still thinks the end is nigh, better part it up and make your piece by Oct. 21. that's when the first collision is set to occur.

You two know way more than I about this thing than I do
