Cool ...

Even better than nukes. Something even bigger & more thoroughly destructive to try & hold the whole "civilized" world hostage to.

Didn't Dan Brown write about this in his novel ANGELS & DEMONS?

Most physicists say Wagner's worries are unfounded. Micro black holes would evaporate nearly instantly instead of combining to form larger ones, they say, and the "strangelet" particles he frets would freeze the world would in fact fall apart quickly.

Wagner's own background is a bit fuzzy. He claims to have minored in physics at U.C. Berkeley, gone to law school, taught elementary-school science and worked in nuclear medicine at health facilities � but he doesn't appear to have an advanced degree in science.

Sancho's qualifications are even murkier, but the lawsuit identifies him as a Spanish citizen residing in the U.S., even if his presence makes the entire case a bit, um, quixotic.


quoted from the same article.


The title should be

Giant atom smasher being built could destroy the world, according to two guys with no expertise in this area.


I've read Angels and Demons and as a result hope for Dan Browns untimely demise. If the world is destroyed by a particle accelerator at least Tom Clancy and he will go down with it.
