Don’t bother firming up your work/play plans beyond this Wednesday. Because that’s when the Large Hadron Collider will start smashing atoms and even-smaller particles — which sounds cool, except for the potential for black-holing the planet out of existence.
No, seriously:
[German chemistry professor Otto] Rössler apparently thinks it “quite plausible” that the “mini black holes” the Cern atom-smasher creates “will survive and grow exponentially and eat the planet from the inside”. So convinced is he that he has lodged an EU court lawsuit alleging that the project violates the right to life guaranteed under the European Convention of Human Rights.
Glad to see someone’s taking the proper legal route. But let’s face it: Courts worldwide are so clogged up that the chances of this getting before a judge within two days are… Well, it was good knowing you all, anyway.
Not many regrets from me, if the end is truly nigh. Although I am kinda disappointed in those damned Mayans, who had spotted us an extra four years.
Were all gonan die!!!!!!!!!

Actually Dr. Rossler estimates at least 4 years, possibly 50 years before a micro black hole could grow large enough to threaten Earth.

Well, that gives us 4-50 years to teraform mars, build our transport ships and get the hell of this rock.

@JTankers: “at least 4 years”, eh? That’d be 2012, which means that the Mayans would be on-track. It’s all falling into place…

Its in 100,5000million chance of one that this will happen if it does happen well…lets just say we might be transported into another dimension, nobody knows what happens when you go down a black hole, since no one has ever came back to tell the story…

END OF THE WORLD, AS WE’VE KNOWN IT…
Well, we’re still here, despite the Large Hadron Collider’s power-up during today’s wee hours.
Talk about a letdown. I know the prospect of a technocratic-delivered doomsday sparked plenty of online chatter, indicating that a good chu…

LARGE HADRON COLLIDER SMASHES WALL STREET?…
Consider:
Last week, there was much anxiety over the Large Hadron Collider potentially blowing up the world.
Of course, that didn’t happen. But, only a few days after the massive atom-smasher came online, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch implode …
