The bigger point is:
Even if we thought we COULD reproduce the BigBang, should we? What would be the
consequences? Would we annihilate our universe in the process?
A smaller point related - Black Hole theory. While investigating Black Holes is
interesting (I personally "have faith" that they are doors to another
plane/universe, and that someday we may discover true White Holes), do we really
want to go so far as to try to create one? I say HECK no, unless we conduct the
experiment manymany lightyears away (far enough away that gravitational effects
measured millenia down the road will not affect our solar system), in a PROVEN
uninhabited region of space, because attempting experiments on Earth could
jeopardize our existence on this planet.
