A giant particle accelerator that mimics the effects of the Big Bang could destroy all life on Earth by sucking it into a black hole, a lawsuit claims.
Two men have asked for an injunction to prevent the European Centre for Nuclear Research from starting up the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle smasher, later this year.
Physicists hope the device, which has taken 14 years and $US8 billion ($A8.8 billion) to build, will provide clues to the universe's origins.
