Don't be alarmed, but Swiss and French Scientists, along with Steven Hawkins and other great minds are going to do an experiment in 90 minutes, at 3am New York Time.
This experiment may create a Black Hole which will swallow up the world...
" Professor Taylor says the experiment's opponents are completely misguided in their stance.
''One of the things we are trying to do is create mini-black holes which scientifically would be a magnificent thing and tell us we don't live in three dimensions, but that we live in nine or 10 dimensions,'' Professor Taylor said.
''As soon as you say there is the possibility of creating black holes, you have people saying we are going to be swallowed up by black holes.
''That's where the furore has come and it's completely misguided.''
well, they seem pretty confident that they can do it, but if it happens, can the black holes be destroyed? and if they can't, can they get bigger, or will they just always stay the same size?
I just thought I might make a list of things that are more likely to happen then the LHC destroying the world.
You're more likely to: Be struck by lightning Win the lottery Date a supermodel Winning an Olympic metal Bowling 300 Become a saint Get a royal flush Spotting a UFO today Dying from contact with hot tap water Dying from parts of a falling plane
This is of course an incomplete list as to list everything that is more likely to happen I'd probably have to spend the rest of my life writing, hope this puts things in perspective a little bit.
On a more serious note (missed the two posts above mine) the black holes that would be created are the kind that are so small they're inherently destable and would vanish before we could see them. Less energy then it takes to power a bulb in each one. The only way they could get bigger is by adding tons of energy/mass and there's not enough on the entire planet to make a stable black hole.
Fall over a Crack and Break your Neck, Tree falling onto you, Being Eaten by Blood-Thirsty Moths, Zombies eat your Brains, You trip over your Toe and fall on neatly placed Bombs.
I could add more, but that's for someone else to do.
