Elon Musk criticizes Earth’s 17-mile-long ‘death machine’ once believed it could destroy humankind

The Hadron Collider, one of the most powerful science tools dubbed “death machine,” stretches for 27 kilometres (17 miles) in a deep tunnel beneath the France-Switzerland border beneath Geneva.

Scientists build it to help them understand universe better, and in 2012, it helped discover the Higgs boson. “It is the fundamental force-carrying particle of the Higgs field, which is responsible for granting other particles their mass,” according to Space. “This field was first proposed in the mid-sixties by Peter Higgs.”

However, besides the importance of the Hadron Collider, there have been a number of theories about its ability to destroy humankind.

Back in the day, media outlets claimed that scientists could make contact with parallel universes through their discoveries and disapprove the Bing Bang theory.

Tech-billionaire and head of DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk dubbed it “a demonic technology” and many believe his post about it on X wasn’t a joke.

Back in 2022, he posted, “Please let me use the CERN Large Hadron Collider. I am normal and can be trusted with a demonic technology unlike anything the world has ever seen,” which according to many only triggered more apocalyptic predictions about this technology.

All of a sudden, the phrase “death machine” started trending again, with people expressing their fears regarding their lives and humanity.

Some claimed that the logo of CERN, the European particle physics laboratory where the Large Hadron Collider is located, looked like 666.

There have been those who are convinced the scientists at CERN hide dangerous secrets and that the “death machine” could open black holes and tear the universe. Also, they say that the Shiva statue at the facility stands as a symbol of destruction. In fact, India gifted the statue to the facility and it represents the cycle of creation and change.

Also, Musk’s post was likely a subtle reflection on how humans approach powerful tech.

The truth is that with the rise of technology, it is understandable that people have mixed feelings worry of the long-lasting effects on humanity.
