I heard this rumour going round that there is a slight chance the wrold could nd next wednesday thanks to some scientists experimenting with a large hadron collider.

It is a staggering device, occupying a train-sized tunnel 18 miles long, buried 300ft underground, studded with gigantic, cathedral-sized ring-shaped detectors where collisions between packets of âheavyâ subatomic particles, âhadronsâ, will take place in the hope that the innermost workings of matter and energy will be revealed.

The LHC is, arguably, the most impressive machine ever built by Mankind


I got this info from this website

[url=http://www.zimbio.com/CERN+Hadron+Collider/articles/110/Large+Hadron+Collider+World+End+Next+Wednesday]

I have heard that the chance of this happening is one in 50 million.

According to the article on the website the earth will end in one of two ways. The first is a biblical style ending.Massive earthquake, Tsunamis and tornadoes followed by the end itslef.

The fabric of the planet itself would start to disappear, trillions of tonnes of rock, water, air and life sucked into a whirlpool of unimaginable force.



The other scenario is an instant death.

In an instant - about one-twentieth of a second - the entire Earth would simply vanish from space.

Less than two seconds later, the Moon would follow suit. Eight minutes later, the Sun would be ripped apart, followed by the rest of the planets in the solar system and onwards, a wave of destruction caused by a rent in the fabric of space itself, spreading out from our world at the speed of light.



Even though it is a one in 50 million chance. It is still not a chance i am willing to take. If we(man) can destroy the universe no matter how tiny the chance then surely this is knowledge we are better off noyt knowing. What do you think?

You can never be 100% sure, and everything that has a beginning has an end. Mabey tommrow the moon could get off balance, and it wouldn't be affected by earth's gavitational pull, so it would come crashing down like a huge rock, and it would kill half the world, and the other half wouldn't get any sunlight during the day because the moon (or what would be left of it) would be blocking the sun, therefore everyone would die.

I also do not believe the world will end on a day when we think it will. Honestly, being the Christian that I am, the world, as in Earth, will never die, but the "bad" people of the world will someday in the future.

No, there is a 100% chance the world will end, because like I have allready said, everything that has a begining has an end.

I really hope the world does not end. *cries*

The chance is really small, but not impossible either...

apparently they have done this experiment hundreds of times before (cant remember where i got that info) but i think i read it in a newspaper.

Fake. I bet that machine doesn't even exist.

First off, scientists need to stop looking for the day the world will end, because they will never find it and are only depressing themselves.

Second off, the end of the world is going to be absolutely unpredictable. God will pretty much snap his fingers and armageddon will be here. That's just my thoughts on it.

There is a problem with indirect reasoning. Everything you seen has ended, but how could you know the pattern continues?

Do natural forces have an end?

Also, why are these never said on the news? (On TV)
