Lawsuit Against Hadron Collider

Sigh.

I suppose this is what we get when jargon and a general decline of mathematical knowledge combines esoteric, complex quantum theories with the sensationalist nature of the media.

As noted in the article: this topic has come up before, by the same people, and for the same reasons.

The chance of Strange particles being birthed in the L.H.C. and then sticking together, en masse, resulting in a black hole is, as the physicists noted, "very small." A note to physics jargon is probably needed here as "very small" in physics terminology refers to something that is small in a neigh incomprehensible manner, such as playing one lottery ticket every week, and winning with that one ticket every week, for the rest of your life.

Basically, the people who are worried about this possible disaster probably play the lottery as a "get rich quick" scheme.

Although chance-gambling can be considered a tax on the mathematically disabled, the same, sadly, cannot be said for those that challenge the very small chance of a black hole being born in the L.H.C. . For those uninterested in considering the probability of that, it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really.... low.
