The Enforcer over at 2:00 for roughing brings us a public service announcement. I am embarrassed to say that I was not the first to reassure you, since I work in physics.
Edit. If you're really interested in how to destroy the earth, here is an interesting website for you.

I was going to ask your opinion on that last night, but didn't get online in the end. I thought they were only testing it yesterday, and it'll be a few weeks before they do the full tests...
Well, CERN has issued press releases assuring the world that they wouldn't destroy it. It boggles the imagination, doesn't it? Imagine, all of the people trying to feed the hungry, broker peace in the middle east and in eastern Europe and in Darfur, stamp out diseases, bring clean water to poor villages. And on the personal front, think of all the people vowing to get into shape, exercise more, drink less alcohol, eat fewer doughnuts. What about all of our worries about global climate change, peak oil, the collapse of the world's food supply? Wouldn't it just be something if--POOF--the thing that takes us all out isn't any of those things but just the experiments of a few physicists, who had no political goals but were merely curious as to how the Universe began? And they actually... ENDED it? Whoa. I need another cup of tea.
I don't know about all of that philosophical schmutz, but I'll take another donut with an Irish Car Bomb to wash it all down, please!
;)
...and no one seemed to catch it yesterday (no one but DJC), but I managed to type out "hardon" instead of "hadron". How's that for hilarious?
WAHAHAHA! Hardon collider! That'd be a great name for a porn site!
