  1. That guy is an amazing speaker. He has quite a talent for that. That collider scares me a bit. It makes me wonder if sometimes, our world becomes too obsessed about figuring out everything, like where we come from, where are we going next, why certain things happen and exists. Maybe soemtimes we should just let it go. There might be somethings in life that we were never ment to know. And if that is the case, then I can see us destroying ourself just to find the answer. I bring that up because the collider is such a big, advanced peice of machinery. The insides, the reactions that happen, are also incredibly unstable. Dangerously unstable. With something that big, there are high chances that something maybe not screwed on properly, or some minor detail. Just one small little thing that no one thought of, and no one saw. I bet they probably constanly check and examine it, but still, that possibility sometimes scares me, and I think maybe, we are gettting into more than us little humans can handle. But hey, maybe thats also jsut me being a bit paranoid of things that have the potential to destroy our earth. Anyway, teh concept is neat, but maybe were going a little too far. I know one day we will
