CERN's LHC: End of the world begins 10 Sep!!!

**Croesis** · 09/10/2008 16:26:29

So CERN's Large Hadron Collider is gonna get turned on on 10th September underground in Switzerland. Some people fear that the experiment will create miniature black holes, in fact two people are so worried that a miniature black hole will expand (disproving Hawkins' theory that a miniature black hole would evaporate in a billionth of a billionth of a second) and swallow the Earth, that they have filed a lawsuit to stop it... in Hawaii. While it's doubtful that that suit will be successful, there are others who are persuing the issue in the European Court of Human Rights.

What do you think, unfounded fear, or doomsday approaching?

Personally I'm more worried that Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse will get married and produce mutant babies that will enslave humanity with their bizarre sounding voices.

I think anyone who doesn't listen to a very large number of scientists is a fool.

That is all. I shall try to restrain myself on this issue. SMILEY I went the cosmology route anyway, leaving particle physics in my last year.

**Yasamuu**

My mind harbours a little doubt, but I don't think the earth will be swallowed up.

I almost hope it does expand and consume everything, at least in that event, this expletive deleted place can't get any worse.

Gawd sake, forums, just let me say Full Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. It won't corrupt any young minds, I promise.

5 Scientific Experiments most likely to end the world. 3 of which could be caused by yours truley, the Haldron Collider, in 8 days time.

Meet the Large Goddamn Hadron *CENSORED* Collider.

*Laughs.*

I like their summaries of them. They haven't got a clue, but they put it so nicely. SMILEY

I wonder sometimes if we are all Sims running on God's computer. If the LHC swallows up the world, I think that'd be God's version of Cntl-Alt-Del.

I do not think humans are the main cause of the current 'global warming' climate. Am I a fool?

But yea, 7 days, they will get to two days before and go "Uh we need to extend the deadline again..." its been delayed like 4 times already aint it?

LHC doesn't bother me. The Zombie Apocolypse does on the other hand.

No. I don't think global warming is entirely our fault either. SMILEY But then, I'm not convinced there are a very large number of scientists saying it is our fault. Or, to be more accurate, there are an equally large number of scientists saying it isn't our fault, so they cancel out.

The issue with CERN is that there are a couple of crackpots up against a load of experts. The global warming debate is two large groups of clever people up against each other.

If it's instantanious I don't care.... If it's drawn out I shall therefore be pissed.

Of course it would be nice if we didn't die at all.

Out of the three options I would prefer this one. Mind you when applying this option to myself, I'd prefer it to be quite literal.

Meh if it happens we will just be blinked out of existence. So it wouldnt matter if it did swallow us up. Its better than getting shot right?
