Your interviewer, discussing the Hadron Collider, asks: "What kind of damage? There are all kinds of fears that these experiments will put the world at risk" (A Step Closer To The Beginning Of Time - March 31).
Prof. James Pinfold answers: "The energy's so dense, it could trigger all kinds of things. It could trigger mini-black holes, it could trigger the vacuum decay - but let's not worry too much about that."
Right. What's to worry? It's just the end of the world we're talking about.
