Big Bang Experiment

The Big Bang Experiment. The experiment that was made to fit the hypothesis that the big bang began the universe based on evidence being that things are moving to and away from us. Scientific narcissism, anyone?

So it was "successful" in that it "proved" how the universe started; trillions of tiny particle collisions. Too bad that, depending on which scientist you talk to, there was only one singularity that was the beginning of the universe with not enough room for particle collisions to occur. Or that the big bang was the result of a collapsing universe in another dimension (it is called different things by different scientists, but that is the gist).

Some call it a Pandora's box as the collisions could create minute black holes or dark matter or other things that could destroy the earth and surrounding space. Neat.

I think it is a good thing as it could be used as a source of energy (especially rocket energy and energy for homes/businesses), similar to fusion and fission technologies with a sprinkling of Star Trek's matter-anti-matter collisions or proton/neutron collisions that provide power for their space stations and spacecraft. I believe this experiment is pointless for the initial reasons the scientists gave for it being done, but, in the end, will have different positive results, even though those results may have nothing to do with cosmology, or even space in general.
