There could be a swing into the more religious. I frame it as "axiomatic" because you don't go out and prove your axioms. If you could, they wouldn't be axioms.
Although it's funny to imagine, it is possible that the collider could be devastating. Given that nuclear bombs are made by unlocking subatomic energy, to a casual science fan it doesn't seem too crazy that the LHC could end all of us.
But it wouldn't be so funny when people start taking things like BTC, the LHC, etc as having cosmic religious significance and refuse to budge even if you could show them evidence that they're wrong.
This post is so compact and punchy — I love it!
