The Large Hadron Collider Is Not Likely To Destroy the Universe

In 2002 some physicists determined that the Large Hadron Collider is not likely to destroy the universe this May. Fortunately, there's very little need to worry that the LHC will create micro black holes that will suck up the whole earth, magnetic monopoles that accrete all charged matter in the universe, or strange matter that converts everything it touches into quark plasma. Whew.
