LHC opponents sides with the See-See-P

Following some mis-guided pseudo-scientist's advice, there has been a law suit against a science project, the LHC near Geneva, Switzerland. And they had used See-see-P's argument that Rights = right to survive, and that the experiment is threatening to create a black hole which would engulf the whole earth, and therefore violates their rights to survive.

Fine, maybe they do agree with the government in China and maybe that is what 'rights' mean. I could go along with that, sort of. But the point is, there is a law in physics called energy conservation, and it takes much larger amount of energy to create a black hole large enough to engulf this world.
