The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) completed a test run by circulating protons late in 2008. But it down now because of a fault with a pair of the superconducting magnets that resulted in some damage. It is expected (hoped) that the LHC will be back online later (September) in 2009. Stay tuned. A link to particulars on the LHC can be found below. It is updated fairly regularly, too.

Where is the Large Hadron Collider located?

The Large Hadron Collider is a particle accelerator. It's in a tunnel on the France-Switzerland Border, and its main ring is 27km in circumference.Its job is to confirm the "standard model" of particle physics, in part by finding the "Higgs boson," which needed more power to find than any accelerator existing before the LHC was completed. The LHC is capable of applying 7 trillion electron volts of energy to a proton it's accelerating, which is seven times higher than the Tevatron in Illinois can do.What it WON'T do is eat the world. Any black holes it makes will be submicroscopic, and unstable.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.The LHC is the "Large Hadron Collider". It is the largest scientific experiment in the world. Used to collide sub-atomic particles into each other at enormous speeds and measure the results (man's way of recreating the big bang in a controlled, monitored, recorded environment). The collider itself is enormous, 17 miles long (or 27Km), and, the particles are travelling soooo fast that they go round the collider (which is oval shaped) over 11,500 times, a SECOND.

Could the Large Hadron Collider destroy the Earth?

No, it can't. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a large (high energy) particle accelerator, and it is the most powerful one ever built on this rock. There is some talk about the LHC creating tiny black holes. The energy of the colliding particles will be really over the top, but a black hole is created when gravity overcomes all other forces to trap and compress a significant quantity of mass into a singularity. The energy of "creation" that appears when the LHC slams stuff together will be too high to allow the gravity associated with the events to actually create a black hole. And this takes into account the increase in mass associated with relativistic velocities. This is similar to the "scare" associated with the test of the first hydrogen bomb (a nuclear fusion weapon). Someone ideated that the intense heat that would cause the fusion events to begin would result in the creation of so much energy that the atmosphere would begin the undergo fusion. This would cause the chain to go out of control and destroy the earth. This did not happen - because it could not. (The "geometry" of the blast is "wrong" for this to occur.) And the LHC creating those little black holes? Keep dreamin' about it. Some numbers on paper suggest things that reality won't support.
