Large Hadron Collider got banged!

The $8 billion dollar Large Hadron Collider, a system that will help test and answer some of the universe’s questions such as the Big Bang theory, was hacked last Friday. The system that was hacked was reportedly “one step away” from a control computer but did not cause any major damage.

There were many people rejecting the machine and the experiment because they believed if something went wrong, it would create black holes that would eat up the earth. Well I don’t blame them since not everyone is a scientist. Well, we are still alive after the initial test.

I just checked the CERN web site and it wasn’t working for some reason. Hacked again? Or too much traffic?

Scientists invovled in this experiment have been receiving death threats from phone calls and emails.
