In Meyrin, Switzerland a particle accelerator has been built and is to be the most powerful ever built. It is 330 feet buried in the ground and it 17 miles in circumference. It cost more than 5 billion dollars to build. Some people did fear that when it was turned on in august of 2008 it could cause serious problems. For one they thought that when it was turned on it would create a black-hole and destroy the earth. Scientist told them that that wouldn't happen and now that it has been on for 3 months it seems like those scientist where correct.
