I'm not a scientist. I didn't pass Algebra 1 in high school. But it occurs to me that scientists, are by their very nature curious, and so, would not one have asked the question, "What are the chances this machine could destroy the world?" and then another one would, you know, do a bunch of math to figure out the answer?

I'm just not that bugged about it.

I know that science can go awry. I read comic books. ;-) I just trust that these people know what they're doing. I'm sure I will live to eat those words one day.
