It's designed to smash tiny particles into tinier ones to find out the stuff from which the universe is made. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the organization that built the collider, are optimistic that their experiments will help them find the elusive Higgs boson particle or evidence that string theory exists.

They fear that the LHC could create a black hole at the surface of the Earth, or create a weird -- and for now, hypothetical -- material called strangelets that cosmologists theorize could have a highly destructive gravitational field. CERN scientists reject both theories. Even if the collider could produce black holes or strangelets, they would decay too quickly to cause any harm.</span><span style="font-size: large;">        </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">                                         </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cyberwar</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSKg5zc9q-VPsI2DdNA_i9VSyTwcB1kZORHLR03pPRKciAIQidfDB_ASO_roupd-pw0eLmZS7F0usgmWCICegTFdj-0VbfZn1MiP4LvQTsmOTbBg0_UYwQvhkjRdobgrWH438OWXu1Vtw/s1600/5-scary-technologies-4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSKg5zc9q-VPsI2DdNA_i9VSyTwcB1kZORHLR03pPRKciAIQidfDB_ASO_roupd-pw0eLmZS7F0usgmWCICegTFdj-0VbfZn1MiP4LvQTsmOTbBg0_UYwQvhkjRdobgrWH438OWXu1Vtw/s400/5-scary-technologies-4a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">    </span><span style="font-size: large;">  </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Imagine a war fought completely by computer. No, we're not talking about a scene out of the movie WarGames, we're talking an all-out attack on a nation's electronic infrastructure. What's that, you may ask? Those are the systems that control emergency response services, banks and other electronic commerce, the systems that run the electrical grid, water and fuel pipeline controls, communications networks, and oh, yeah: defense weaponry. A well-executed attack could cause serious disruption and open the populace up to physical threats.</span><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">Attacks like these have already been launched against some countries. Russians attacked Georgia with denial-of-service attacks. Hackers have taken on the Pentagon, and some suspect terrorist organizations of training their operatives to launch computer assaults. So how do you defend against a cyberattack? Educating people about computer viruses and Trojan horses will help, and using updated antivirus software is also important.
