I agree, the world isn't going to end wednesday, a mod should lock this

the possibility of the mini blackholes (which is how the world MIGHT end) won't happen until around a month from now.  Right now test runs of the Large Hadrion Collider and udnerway sending particles one way on the machine and then the other way.  The scientists won't collide the particles for at least a month.  So, the world won't end today (obviously) but there's still a CHANCE (SMALL as it may be) in about a month.

wow, its wednesday and the world didnt end. what a surprise.

Here's the thing.  We can theorize what will happen should we create a mini black hole, but as we have never created one before it remains a theory and unless I'm mistaken at one point in time we all believed that the world was flat and were proven wrong.  Sure mini black holes probably won't destory the universe but **** it would suck if this were another care of the eath being flat.

As it is now wednesday we have all survived! HOORAY!

As i made this thread i thought i would provide some inf o to what actually happened.

The world's largest atom smasher's first experiment went off today without a hitch, paving the way toward the recreation of post-big bang conditions

The part that best sums up the experiment is here

By creating hundreds of thousands of head-on collisions each second, physicists hope to understand the fiery conditions of the universe a trillionth of a second after the big bang.

Here is also some very interesting infoormation about what they were studying.

The findings could also help resolve some of the biggest mysteries in physics, such as the existence of one long-hypothesized particle called the Higgs bosonâ€"or the "God particle"â€"thought to be responsible for giving all other particles their mass.

I think that its great that it actually worked. The physisits will release their findings soon no doubt.

Here is a quote from an article on the same site.

This and other harrowingâ€"and equally unlikelyâ€"scenarios prompted a couple of independent scientists to sue this past spring to stop the atom smasher. So far they haven't succeeded, and the vast majority of the world's physicists are on board with the project.

Im still thanking my lucky stars this didnt happen.

I just worry that we shouldn't be so gun ho about doing things because we CAn do them, we should consider IF we should do them.  Maybe I've read The Andromeda Strain or books like it too many times, but I don't want to die because some scientisit idiot decided because he could **** up the wold he should.

Caution, that's all I want.
