Yeah, 'Not Yet' indicates that it hasn't but will eventually. There is no indication or evidence (at the moment) that the LHC will destroy the Earth at any time so 'No' is a lot more appropriate than 'Not Yet', at least at this point in time. Message edited by Croesis on 09/10/2008 08:09:35.
Rarebit, does, I've only done this once, mean you've only been incarnated once?
Seriously folks, wiped out by a black hole we create, by nuclear holocost we create, by global warming we create? There is a cafe at the end of the universe, address 42, that is a good place to be when the world ends. Lets just go out with a bang, not a whimper. (Sorry TS Eliot)

Does that bang include one hell of a laugh? I cant help be laugh at this seeing it goes so well hand in hand.

...that's genuinely frightening.
Seriously, I reckon that a fictional character turning up and sabotaging the experiment is more likely than the world ending if the experiments aren't tampered with. You can still leave your crowbars in your toolsheds, though.

According to the Mayan calendar the world ends in 2012.
And I certainly hope the bang includes laughter!
U know it really wierd. I was listening to the radio a few months back and they were talking about Albert E. He said that the human race would parish if the bees in the world would die. After they would the human race had 4 years to figure out something. Or we would start dying off. A few months prior to that radio segment. Some scientist claimed that there was a servere decline in Bee population. Hence the 4 years time being 2012. Something to think about?

I've grown up reading various end-of-the-world predictions from various Catholic mystics/visionaries, so it's something I'm just used to. It's the how and when that is subject to conjecture, but I'm going with the Mayan Calendar's estimate of December 21st, 2012. I'm actually gonna be partying, since if it's so, I won't have to put up with lots of things: bills, being autistic, people bugging me about not being married/having a *hawt* career, evil Mrs. Tolliver at work, etc. I've even got a kickin' list of tunes I'm gonna blare as part of the countdown to the last seconds, said tunes including -- but not limited to:
--Various settings of the "Dies Irae" (medieval Catholic poem about the end of the world; used to be used in the funeral mass to remind the living of how short life is, so there's various settings of it by several classical composers: most notably Verdi, and Mozart)
-- "When the World Ends" -- Dave Matthews Band (Oakenfold remix, aka the version used in the endcredits of The Matrix Reloaded)
--"The End of the World as We Know It" -- R.E.M.
--"The Eve of Destruction" -- Barry Maguire (okay, yeah, 1960s protest song, but it's still very significant even today)
--"Komm, Susse Todt" -- End of Evangelion soundtrack ( :: Points to the image used for her signature:: 'Nuff said.)
That said, it could be that *IF* a minature black hole is created, it might not wipe us out right away. It could take four years for everything to slowly implode into it. Isn't it said that black holes get stronger and bigger only as they pull more matter into themselves? And if it's a minature one, it might be so small that it can only handle atoms or particles first, then graduates onto bigger particles and so on and so on until, yeah, it *is* sucking the whold world into itself. It very well could take four years for it to do significant damage to the space-time continuum......
