I am curious if anyone out there has been thinking about, 'visiting', or seeking knowledge / wisdom about the large hadron collider, aka: CERN.

As a lay person, it's quite difficult to understand the potential risks and benefits. 99% of what I find online is one of two things:

A) Incredible conspiracy theories, that CERN is looking to open up a portal to a demonic demsion, and destroy god, etc.

B) Completely non-investigative press release re-prints.

Anyone out there have something to share?
