"If all goes according to plan, the Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator underground near Geneva, could re-create the very moment 13 billion years ago when scientists believe a tremendous explosion known as the “big bang” created the universe."

Let’s reiterate that:
If all goes according to plan, the LHC could recreate the Big Bang….
?!?!?!
The thing that makes me uneasy about this whole situation (other than the whole end-of-the universe scenario) is that all these scientists named their machine the “Large Hadron Collider” which is dangerously close to the “Large Hardon Collider” which, to my knowledge, is a different apparatus altogether.
