In response to the article “Google Street View Comes to Large Hadron Collider at CERN” on mashable.com

I am so glad google is watching our backs for us and making us aware of the current status of highly dangerous machinery. Google has always been there for mankind since it was first created in 1997. For this I feel we should all take a moment to pray to our all-seeing, all-knowing google gods.
In case you don’t know, the large hadron collider is a particle collider. In fact, it is the highest energy particle collider ever created, and its invention is a great feat for engineering and mankind. The large hadron collider, created by CERN in 2008, is used to study particle physics and holds great potential for our understanding of the universe. The large hadron collider has even helped us to recently discover the existence of the Higgs boson, which is an elementary particle that is assumed to be what gives matter a mass.
Big, complex machinery like the large hadron collider can be very scary for your everyday citizen. We have no idea what potential it has for destructive purposes, or if the machine itself will one day turn against us. The fear of not knowing is one of the greatest fears of all. This is why we must thank google. Now, at any time we choose, we may go on google earth and look at a street view of not just the large hadron collider, but the entire CERN laboratories. You’d better not do anything crazy, CERN, because the world is watching you now.
For more updates on the large hadron collider and the fate of mankind, here is an interesting and useful website I found. I hope you enjoy!
