The End is Near..

As I speak right now, somewhere in Sweden, a bunch of Scientist-types are working on The Large Hadron Collider, the worlds biggest proton accelerator...the worlds biggest anything, for that matter...

Why this is of importance, to all of you people who couldn't care less, is because scientists are attempting to study the formation of the Universe itself, and they are doing this by trying to recreate the Big Bang...

You don't have to be an egghead to figure out that thats the kinda thing that can seriously fuck shit up...The energy of the big bang is of the order of magnitude of 2 raised to a million Joules, which will rip the the crap out of the planet and possibly set up a Universe within a Universe...

But of course there's a very slim chance of that actually happening...

Of course, the formation of Antimatter is a concern, and so is the possible formation of a Black Hole...

Once again, that's not exactly the healthiest thing for a planet, what with being sucked into a sinkhole for matter and energy itself...

This isn't just crap I'm making up, by the way, here's wiki to shed some light on it...

Concerns have been raised about the safety of the LHC on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the collider might cause disastrous events, including the production of stable micro black holes (mBHs) and strangelets.

Strangelets, by the way refers to the Strange Matter Theory, referred to, here

If the strange matter hypothesis is correct and a strangelet comes in contact with a lump of ordinary matter such as Earth, it could convert the ordinary matter to strange matter. This "ice-nine" disaster scenario is as follows: one strangelet hits a nucleus, catalyzing its immediate conversion to strange matter. This liberates energy, producing a larger, more stable strangelet, which in turn hits another nucleus, catalyzing its conversion to strange matter. In the end, all the nuclei of all the atoms of Earth are converted, and Earth is reduced to a hot, large lump of strange matter.

To put it plainly, we make one particle of strange matter, that sparks a chain reaction that turns all of earth and everything in it into a steaming pile of crap...that turns anything it touches into more crap....

Now, individually, the chances of one of these things happening is pretty low, but club it all together and things get worrysome...

I don't know about you but I'm trying to do as many good deeds as possible beofre the 21st of October...can't be too careful...
