And not just the scientists at CERN. There has been quite a bit of work outside CERN. If it were just CERN alone, I'd be concerned. If there weren't already examples in nature for what will be happening at CERN, I'd be concerned. If there weren't multiple, independent safety arguments, I'd be concerned.

I'm not concerned.
