Large Hadron Collider

I was sure they had already used this machine, I saw a report on BBC news about half a year ago talking about something similar, I wasn't paying to much attention and I've been wondering ever since, I doubt it was the Large Hadron Collider located in CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland.

Dark Roasted Blend has a mega post about the machine, photos, details and what not.

I can't think of anything that compares to the scale and magnitude of the LHC project, all that comes to mind are movies like James Bond, Contact and other various Sci-Fi movies.

The possibility that this machine could produce mini black holes, mini big bangs and even time travel seems out of this world, what's amazing is the project is so public, would expect something like this to be shrouded in secrecy.
