Hadron Collider = End of Earth?

[OngBonga]

...the fact remains that there has not been any observation which directly links a particle's energy to its observed rest masses (gravitational or inertial).

Erm... you have a physics degree, and you're telling me that the energy of a particle is not related to its mass?

All massive objects (stuff made of atoms, for example) exert a force on each other, which is attractive.

And gravity is not a force.

Did you not listen to anything Einstein said?

The Earth and sun both fall towards each other.

They would if the Earth and sun were the only two objects in the universe.

The sun is falling away from Earth because the sun is falling towards the centre of the galaxy. But the centre of the galaxy is falling away from the sun, because that is falling towards an even more dominant gravity field etc.

So no, the sun isn't falling into our horizon, because there's much more dominant objects affecting the sun. We merely cause the sun to wobble on it axis very slightly.
