it's the largest atom smasher in the world. It will collide atoms much... better.... than the smaller ones!

it's larger, and the atoms will collide at 99.999% the speed of light, a speed the smaller atom smashers can't achieve.
The hope is that somehow, out of this, the particles will show us what happened with the big bang. Personally, I have no idea what these two events have to do with each other.
But none-the-less, it is fascinating.

I hope the standard model fails miserably, so that I can do a doctorate in physics and iron out some of the paradoxes in particle physics.

I have much experience using particles accelerators... This one, although much bigger, is no different than the ones already being used. So you DO NOT have to worry about about being sucked into a black hole.... and if it causes the end of humanity....you have no need to worry

Being sucked into a blackhole would be one of the pimpest ways to die. Think of the street cred you've have in the afterlife!

I can't wait! I've been following the construction of this for quite sometime. (I'm a big Physics nut)
The accelerator is 17miles long, between the border of France and Switzerland. As Drewwyann said, it will be the closest we can actually get to the speed of light.
The send the particles in opposite directions building their speed the direct them into each other. Taking picture's with many different recording devices. Here's an example of a picture

Through these kind of speed's they hope to identify unknown particles that were most likely present withing .001secs of the big bang. It's the equivalent of turning on a light and trying to watch the light spread around the room, but to our eyes the light is 'on' or 'off.'
I personally don't think we're all going to die, but who knows, if somehow they did cause a black hole, we'll all be dead before anyone knows a thing.

correct, the black holes will open up and swallow us into the great nothingness, everything will become nothing

How would the money be wasted?
If this experiment doesn't conglomerate the standard model, then it will allow for completely new (better) ideas to blossom.
There are several aspects of the standard model which are pretty 'flakey' and currently, with what we have established, are unable to understand.
No matter what the outcome of this experiment, it will not be a waste of money. It will answer some of the definitive questions that plague particle physics, whether they are what the standard model predicts or something else entirely.

I heard that Stephen Hawking doesn't think they will find anything when the atoms collide.
And he's one smaaaaart-aaaasss physicist.

They built it to see if the hadron atomic model really exists. Perhaps our universe was created by one of these colliders and our billions of years are but a fraction of a millisecond.

i like how people add "well the big bang is a theory isnt it?" to their thoughts about the particle accelerator.
