Campaigners in the US are attempting to delay the start-up of the world's most powerful particle smasher with a lawsuit claiming it could spawn dangerous particles or mini black holes that will destroy the entire Earth....The lawsuit's claims are "complete nonsense", James Gillies, a spokesman for CERN, told New Scientist.
