I've never heard of something called a particle accelerator?

It involves I believe the collision of subatomic particles such as quarks and electrons.  I think protons are also a commonly used particle.  And then splitting an atom of iron?  It's been said that it would destroy half the universe, but it's never been tested for obvious not-wanting-to-blow-up-the-whole-world reasons.  And also, we don't know the size of the full universe, only the visible one.

The only case in which I would consider blowing up half the universe would be if something happened like in the Peter F. Hamilton space opera book "The Reality Dysfunction."  Anyone read that book?  Lots of stuff about dark matter and shit.

These are the stakes!
To make a world in which all God's children can live,
Or go into the dark.
We must either love each other, or we must die. -LBJ

Nuclear energy and fusion (or was it fission?) are quite clean sources of energy and last a long time, if you don't fuck it up like they did at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

No particle accelerator that man is currently capable of making could "kill us all" unless there's some new project I haven't heard of.

You realize that one of the stated goals of these mini big bang particle accelerator groups are in fact to intentionally create mini black holes. Guess what, they won't devour the earth.

O` tru apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick.
Thus with a kiss I die.

Whoever told you that the new particle accelerator could devour the world if it fucked up was probably just joshing you.
