“overwhelming scientific opinion” doesn’t cut it.

There are real risks, very VERY small risks, that things could go catastrophically wrong. Yes yes, I know, scientific advancement and all that, but I for one will not benefit in any way whatsoever if an argument between 2 groups of theoretical physicists is resolved or not, so why should I be forced to take the risk?

Who here reading this is going to benefit in any way whatsoever if the Higg’s particle is ‘proven’ to exist or it remains ‘theoretical’? The answer: absolutely no-one. Who here reading this is at risk if unforeseen circumstances wreak havoc? Everyone.

Seems selfish to me. I guess I’d change my opinion if the results had some sort of tangible benefit for everyday people. Then there is the cost of the collider itself..

Meanwhile .. people living in the province Zeeland in the Netherlands are getting iodine tablets .. (in case a nuclear disaster in the reactor overthere will happen (not that that is very likely ofcourse, they say).

That will trigger a few minds of people there I guess. They didn’t distribute products for other disasters yet here in the Netherlands. Hm .. The policy is clear, but erm .. like I said .. it might trigger a few minds here and there ..
