My understanding is that any problems won't be when they turn it on, but as they ramp it up to 7Tev. The question is supposedly one of the generation of stable di-baryons. Unstable quarks are gone faster than you can think about blinking your eyes, existing for only millionths of a second. The stable ones are a different animal, almost like an atom made up only of quarks. By definition, strangelets are...strange. We are on the front end of this research, and besides, it is well documented that science fiction often becomes science fact in the long run. I have read that the info released by CERN scientists indicates there is ONLY a 20% chance of the so-called ICE-9 reaction occuring. Who cares if the name came from science fiction. They named it that not because it was in a book, but because the strangeness of such a proposed reaction resembles what happened in the book. If we can release such awesome energy from the fissioning and fusioning of atomic nuclei, what kind of energies are possible when we release the energy of quarks? I don't think it will happen, but could it? Damn right it COULD. It wouldn't happen at first, as I said, but only after they ramp that puppy up. The problem is that the best physicists in the world aren't sure themselves. How do the rest of us follow such complexity? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and I think it's possible. I think it's very interesting.

Well that's basically what I've read .
They will do so by creating a new and improved quark on steroids. from or by something they call stranglettes.
The creation will kickstart a series of effects resulting in Earth going super nova what will crush the planet to a solid ball of mere 7 kilometers wide. They called it ice-9 reaction.

Personally I'm convinced it's a bunch of nonsense. It was a fun read tho and I've never heard it before.
So please ATS set loose the debunk talent what makes this place famous.
Rip out the lies so hard that site has to end its broadcasting days.
And...
I want to make sure they are not even slightly telling some truth... Just to be save...

The magnetic field within the lhc tunnel. Outside of the beam tubes is still 3 million times greater than the earth’s magnetic field
CERN people adduce that because the gravitomagnetic fields of the LHC are not ‘colosal’, they should not have the energy to provoke earthquakes. But earthquakes only need a ‘butterfly effect’. Simple mine explosions have caused them. Air bombing has caused them… Since the energy of the earthquake is already stored as potential energy in the fault. So you just need a chaotic, butterfly effect multiplied by the fault to release its energy. Earthquakes are in that sense similar to an avalanche. And the LHC has enough potency to be the butterfly…
In the graph we can see how strong those fields are and how they spread outside the ring into the rock formation under the Jura mountains.
We cannot pretend to know exactly how the huge LHC magnetic field is affecting the Earth; as we don’t have reliable maps of the entire Earth’s field. Yet the causality in time is there: we know that any new source added to a magnetic field modifes its structure. In April we introduce a new top magnetic field on this planet and the surge in Earthquakes peaked.
