First, many comments here about either micro black holes or other things, highly impossible to certainly impossible. It would take far more mass and power to cause a black hole of any size. Second, the facility itself runs extremely cool, far past freezing, and as close to absolute zero they can get. So the facility itself isn't actually hot, but it does require alot of electricity to keep it cool. Which I hope you mean the power plants are the ones contributing, in which case, jump their bones, not the people running the facility. Finally, if your wondering why they put so much money in, there's an extremely large amount of personal investors including scientist and people who feel they'll benefit from it. Not a huge amount is gov't, but the gov't must show us their spending. Also, knowing how the universe started, and the REAL interest of what sub particles there are and the further composition of that. We're discovering how far we can go into what makes what. Such as what is the reason things HAVE mass. Which unless your skipping to the end of this message, you cannot predict an ending without knowing the beginning. How can you tell someones dominant sickness without knowing the first symptoms and their medical history?
Thank you, I've been mean enough.
