Dude, experiments like that one are the exact kind of experiments that lead to giant technological improvements ie the computer you're working on.

There's a chance that it will destroy the Universe, but that's very unlikely, theres a chance that right now you might be typing and have your entire hand pass through your keyboard, but its also very unlikely.

What that machine will attempt to do though is prove the existence of the particles that are responsible for gravity. By smashing together particles, and then measuring the energy given off they can calculate the loss of energy and attribute that to 'gravitons' briefly appearing before going into another dimension!

It's crazy stuff and it's a hugely exciting thing for people that know what its all about, the questions it could answer can prove some crazy theories about how the world works!
