Ever heard of the Large Hadron Collider? Well, it could either be the world's first Time Machine or it could create a BIG black hole and suck our planet into it....or it could just be a huge waste of time & money if nothing happens. Either way, it's really cool....and it is being tested right now.

The first beam was fired on the LHC last night, and it went all the way around the circle. So far everything's great, but the Collider does not go full power till next year.

Discover Magazine puts it: "The collisions at LHC could spray out strange new kinds of matter, unfurl hidden dimensions of space, even generate tiny glowing reenactments of the birth of the universe." And now, as we have seen - it may even facilitate time travel.

"We don’t even know what to expect," says French physicist Yves Schutz. "We’re now in a domain of energy that nobody has ever explored."

Basically, they want to figure out how the universe was created (by getting protons to speed up to near speed of light and then collide head on in this massive tunnel). Hmmm....seems like a faster way to get their answer would be to turn to page 1 in the Bible. Just a suggestion.

Sounds like a huge waste of taxpayer money.
