The real issue is, the LHC at CERN isn't designed to even attempt to reproduce the conditions of the early universe. That's not why we made it. Pop-culture likes to paint physics as some amazingly interesting thing that is always trying to answer the "ultimate question" which simply isn't true. It's a moderately interesting thing that is trying to answer some moderately interesting question. If you're a layman, then replace the word moderate with the word lame; and if you're a trained physicist, than replace the word moderate with the word amazing.

Why was it being broken, even though you made it? You're being a Forum Professor, you should know better.

The posts referring to "magnetic holes" have been split off to a new thread here:
