The world's biggest, most highly-anticipated physics experiment comes online this week, as the first beam of particles begins to circulate around a 17-mile underground racetrack that lies beneath France and Switzerland.
The $9 billion Large Hadron Collider, 20 years in the making, represents the work of at least 7,000 scientists from 60 countries, including a contingent from the Boston area that spent years, or entire careers, working on this project.
Their excitement is testimony to the importance of the mission: to recreate in an underground tunnel the conditions of the early universe, just a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. From that, they hope to fill in gaps in physics knowledge, search for hidden dimensions, and understand why particles have mass. source article
As explained before there are massive safety issues which plague the collider, ranging from creating a black hole on earth to earth quakes and even a massive explosion:

I love all this doom and gloom that comes from ignorant assholes like this.
Through mankinds history scientists have been crucified by the ignorant.

Scientists also created abominations such as the atomic bomb. Maybe there's a reason some people "crucify" scientists.
