The big collider this weds

Well, not really -- the actual experiments that could result in potentially disastrous "micro black holes" won't happen for another month (and probably won't end anything except the lives of a few protons), but as rumored, CERN's flipping the switch on the four billion dollar Large Hadron Collider this Wednesday to test the superconducting magnets that control the proton beams. After a clockwise test, they'll send protons counter-clockwise, and after that -- smashy time. Of course, there are still paranoid lawsuits pending to shut all this down, and we wouldn't mind another rap video or two, but after two decades of work, it's probably time to boot this thing up, death threats or no. Let's make it a good last month of humanity, people.

So it's set to go this wednesday. I don't know if you guys are into this stuff but I can't wait till october when they do the big collision.

What happens of it all goes to hell in a hand cart?
I'm all for scientific testing and exploration,but it would be nice if they had a reasonable idea of the outcome.
"Micro" black holes?
Don't black holes suck things in and grow larger?
Just a thought.

I think the black holes they're talking about are so small they're negligible. They're basically looking for the "God" particle. It would explain everything we don't know. So by smashing a few particles together at almost light speed, it replicates how the universe was created on an extremely small scale.

The magnetic poles will flip when they get that S#*T going.......THEN everything will be messed up.....except the hurricanes will go a different direction and hit northern south america

Maybe they'll gang up and attack the testers?

1. Did you know that before the first a-bomb test that physicsts predicted a small chance of a chain reaction that would engulf the world?

2. The end of the world is December 21, 2012. This coincides with Zap taking his GN off the cinder blocks and firing it up.

Well, I guess we survived.

I woke up at 3am and noticed I wasn't floating around in a blackhole

so I went back to sleep.
