How can the Large Hadron Collider be safe if it recreates the Big Bang?

It is impossible to recreate the Big Bang. The amount of energy required is, quite literally, unimaginable. To put this into perspective, it would take an accelerator larger than the Milky Way to be able to experimentally prove String Theory- and the amount of energy in the Big Bang is on a scale unimaginable in comparison to the previous example.

What happened to the big bang experiment?
it had a big bang of its own! (its rapidly turning into a white elephant...) It basically stopped working, and needs to be repaired. (you do mean the Hadron collider yes?)
What technology was used to tell why the big bang theory was caused?
Scientists are currently using High Energy technologies, such as the Large Hadron Collider, to probe hypotheses regarding the nature of reality and the origin of the Big Bang. No definitive answers have been produced yet.
What is IHC CERN particle accelerator?
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is an experimental piece of equipment which is providing data on the beginning of the universe and how atoms are made. It simulates what happened at the Big Bang. The ultimate aim is to find the God Particle, which was needed for the Big Bang to occur.
What is the velocity of the proton in the big bang experiment?
In the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) the protons reach a speed of 99.9999991% of the speed of light which is about 1 billion kilometers per hour or 670 million miles per hour.
Will the Large Hadron Collider cause another Big Bang?
Of course not, that's ridiculous. Please note that Earth gets bombarded every day by particles from outer space that have millions of times the energy of anything that the LHC is capable of producing. "Another Big Bang" would require a tremendous amount of energy - the energy of the entire Universe.
Why don't we use the Large Hadron Collider to create energy?
Because it doesn't create energy--it uses it, and quite a lot. The collider studies the effects of smashing particles in an attempt to understand the formation of the universe at the point of the Big Bang, and to try and find particles like the theoretical Higgs-Boson. However, while these collisions can release large amounts of energy, they are unstable, hard to control, and cannot be performed en-masse, making the idea of using them as an energy source a nonstarter.
Is Large Hadron Collider experiment successful?
YES! The Test was very successful, but due to a problem with the magnets on Sept. 19 2008 they have shut down the LHC it will be re-tested ( used ) In The summer Of 2009. For the test run, no black holes where detected. Also They want to see if the big bang could really happen.
What is cern trying to do with the large hadron collider?
By recreating Big Bang conditions, scientists at CERN trie to answer following questions:Why is there no-more antimatter left, although both, matter and antimatter were resulting from the Big Bang in equal parts and thus, should've annihilate themselves?Why do particles have mass? What is mass? Is the origin of mass the Higgs-boson?Does dark matter exist? What is dark matter?Do extra dimensions exist?
When will they stop doing tests with the big bang machine?
If by "big bang machine" you mean the Large Hadron Collider, they really haven't even started doing tests yet. They sent a photon around clockwise and one counterclockwise but individually. The real experiment comes in when they smash the two photons together. It will be several years before the scientists can even make deductions and conclusions from the data. There is no set shut-down date for it yet, but it would be many years in the future if there was.
What does the Large Hadron Collider at Cern actually do?
As time has gone on many theories have come to terms with the atom. And as technology has improved we have looked further into the atom. Scientists are now using the LHC to see if they can create a explosion with the atom by smashing particles together to see what happened when the universe began such as the big bang theory. Using this they are looking to find out the answer to what is matter? Using the LHC they are trying to create anti-matter, this anti-matter may be the size of a golf ball and could destroy everything, but if they can create this matter it may just give the answers to what is matter and how the universe begun.
Was it 1 second after the big bang that protons and neutrons formed?
Yes, it was during the Hadron Epoch.
Where is the Large Hadron Collider located?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a underground ring 27 kilometers in circumference. It is used to smash protons together at speeds close to the speed of light (approx. 2.997*108). These protons are sent in "packets" which then collide with other packets. There are ultra sensitive particle detectors at impact points that record the collision. The purpose of the LHC is to determine if the Higgs Boson particle exists.
