People won't see it. They have things they need done now and they are the ones supplying the tech.

Didn’t know they were this far along with Antimatter….
…….” antimatter in the universe? At CERN, physicists make antimatter to study in experiments. The starting point is the Antiproton Decelerator, which slows down antiprotons so that physicists can investigate their properties.”…….

It's a very fair comparison to say the energy is the same, but according to the LHC it's a dozen mosquitoes (6 in one direction and 6 in the other direction, colliding), and they explain the energy is concentrated into a smaller space at the LHC, but that doesn't invalidate the total energy comparison. Yes, the energy density is a lot different.

You were speaking about the energy produced, i was stating this energy is condensed into approximately one atomic mass unit, you compared this energy to that of 20 mosquitos which have a combined mass of over a hundred thousand trillion atomic mass units / nucleons. This is a very important factor when assessing the dangers of such experiments. It's simply not a fair comparison.
So every one of those 27 particles (usually protons) had an energy about 9 million times greater than a proton at the LHC. And it's comparing protons to protons, so it's different amounts of energies in the same size particles. So if the Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray protons don't destroy the earth, the 9 million times less energetic protons in the LHC are almost nothing by comparison.
the initial runs of the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) detected 27 events with estimated arrival energies above 5.7E19 eV

This is a very important factor when assessing the dangers of such experiments. For example all the mosquitos in the world won't create Quark–gluon plasma. It's simply not a fair comparison.

You always gotta match your reality with the NWO gamecards to see if we're in tune.
Sorry if it's too small, the winners are: "Epidemic", "Conspiracy Theorists", "New World Order: Law and Order", "Center for Disease Control", "New World Order: Political Correctness"
I'm sure there's more out there which would be fitting.
You mean both probabilities are so close to zero the difference isn't worth mentioning?

The atoms in my body have the potential energy of over 1 gigaton of TNT, still those nucleons are unlikely to suddenly ignite with 100 percent energy conversion. I'd say there's a similar probability of that happening as CERN destroying the Earth.
However, if they can find a way to efficiently store and stockpile antimatter for long periods you could very well have the potential for real danger.
CERN is working on ways to store and transport antimatter. Sorry, this isn't to power any starships secretly under construction, but as a way to better study antiprotons to learn more about them and the nature of the universe.
