The Large Hadron Collider

In the event you haven't heard, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was fired up yesterday.  The popular press seems to fixate on two things about this experiment: 1) it may tell us something about the origin of the universe and 2) it may tell us something about the end of the universe.

The best comment I've seen in this respect is the website  http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/, which consists of a single word:  "NO".
