Courts Asked to Halt Doomsday

It's kinda like global warming. Hundreds of experts say the LHC is harmless, and a handful of experts say it could cause the end of us and our planet.

Meanwhile the European Court of Human Rights has rejected an emergency injunction to block the Large Hadron Collider from being turned on.

My opinion: I reckon they've already turned it on in a trial run, and we are still here.
