For how many centuries have our greatest minds wondered about the origin of matter as we know it? Why aren't more people today interested in this? Thankfully, out of more than six billion and counting, there are at least enough for the moment in tune with the same desire for knowledge and understanding inherant in our species to approve funding for the moment.</description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#717123</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:36:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:717123</guid><dc:creator>Glenn Whitaker, Spataract,WI</dc:creator><description>I find it hard to believe there isn't a worldwide council set up to assess the risks of such experiments when the scientists cannot be 100% sure there will not be a catastophic outcome. So far we've made it through splitting atoms, drilling holes in the earth and causing chemical explosions, etc; and miraculously we have not yet incinerated our planet. I can only think of one reason we are protected from self-destruction in this way, and ironically it is the one thing these scientists are trying to disprove.....................GOD</description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#718888</link><pubDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2008 00:26:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:718888</guid><dc:creator>raymond,Van Nuys, ca.</dc:creator><description>I wish them &amp;quot;limited&amp;quot; success, I hope they don't make up too much &amp;quot;Antimatter&amp;quot;</description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#1258397</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:00:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1258397</guid><dc:creator>luis villa pflugerville, tx</dc:creator><description>God created science to let the anti-God(scietists and others) people know who created them.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#1277042</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:55:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1277042</guid><dc:creator>Tom, San Diego, CA</dc:creator><description>I'm all for scientific development...but I'm also concerned that a lot of the experts still have to use the word 'probably' when discussing the safety of experimenting with these unknown powers. &amp;nbsp;Our history is full of examples where the majority of scientists were wrong when a select few were right (see Galileo, the Wright Bros. etc). &amp;nbsp;What happens when the doomsayers are in the minority...and in the right? &amp;nbsp;For my part, I'd feel more 'species' comfortable if all our eggs (and sperm) weren't in one cozy little basket named Earth... </description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#1283993</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:57:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1283993</guid><dc:creator>Michelle, Tahlequah, Ok</dc:creator><description>Just because you believe in science don't mean you don't believe in God. &amp;nbsp;Maybe this is the way God did it.</description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#1368678</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:17:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1368678</guid><dc:creator>anonymous</dc:creator><description>couldnt this hurt us... if we send out the paticle beams the particles could smach together causing small blackholes that will suck in matter at an enormouse rate and grow thus causing the end of the world. signed --the truth</description></item><item><title>Inside the supernova machine</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/04/467749.aspx#1955898</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Jun 2009 23:56:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1955898</guid><dc:creator>Copper Joe</dc:creator><description>What an amazing species we are.
