Yeah I'm with some guy on this one.

Suppose the dudes back in the day when they first noticed bacteria, they probably thought, bah, whats that going to do for us, waste of time if you ask me?

I dont see it being a waste of money if it furthers the knowlage of the human race and has possible benifits in future technologies, hell it might help usd get off this rock when we've buggered it right up!

well you see, what will happen is that the planet will be so buggered up but no one will even notice because their too busy messing with war and we'll get space colonies orbiting the planet that no one knows about because their focus is on their inter-colony wars

but you're probably right, if anyone was shipped off the planet it would be the jokers who screwed us all over

I think the whole blackhole thing is BS, but even if it were true the world will kill us long before they can create a "blackhole" to consume us.
Earthquakes, tornados, flooding, hurricanes, typhoons, global warming, and volcanoes kill people each year. When are they going to kill enough that people become concerned about those threats?
But a few scientists and a multi-billion dollar project scares everyone and makes news?

Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~

When they say black hole, i think they mean somthing tiny tiny tiny tinty tiny that exists for a tiny tiny tiny fraction of a second. Not the star just died, uh oh the solar system is collapsing in on itself type black hole.

I think the project is fantastic, though yes the fruits from this project are ambiguous they are hoping to answer some of the most interesting questions about the universe.

And on the whole, i think they should not spend the money they are spending on this project, on reliving poverty, but rather spend the money that is currently being spent on wars to do that. Its quite alot more. user added image
