Particle Accelerator Will Destroy Earth, Claims Lawsuit

Posted by Chris Jensen | Mar. 28, 2008 09:40AM PST | 4843 views | 2 comments

FILED UNDER: News. Science.

A lawsuit has been brought forth in Hawaii federal court by former nuclear safety officer Walter Wagner, demanding that the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab, the National Science Foundation and CERN revisit safety standards at the soon-to-be-activated Large Hadron Collider.

Why? Something about it possibly destroying the planet.

From MSNBC:

"We're going to need a minimum of four months to review whatever they're putting out," Wagner told me on Monday. The suit seeks a temporary restraining order that would put the LHC on hold, pending the release and review of an updated CERN safety assessment. It also calls on the U.S. government to do a full environmental review addressing the LHC project, including the debate over the doomsday scenario.

Page 2 has info about several doomsday scenarios, all of which I'd welcome with open arms, just for the sake of excitement.
