Collider is non-destructive but it can’t make people happy - expert

The Large Hadron Collider cannot kill humanity, but it also will not bring it prosperity, reports Interfax-Religion.

“People haven’t invented anything in natural sphere that doesn’t exist in nature,” Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor of the Nuclear Research Institute Vladimir Nikitin said at conference on Science. Philosophy. Religion organized by St. Andrew the First-Called Foundation.

According to the scientist, apocalyptic fears before the collider are groundless as “cosmic rays come to Earth with much greater energy than the collider may ever work out while there are black holes even without the collider.”

Nikitin noted, “Science can do nothing to make a man happy.”

“Only religion that tells about God’s love offers the way out. Atheists should envy believers in this context,” the scientist said.
