The scariest thing since Y2K, it’s the largest high-energy particle accelerator ever built. It’s set to go live in less than a week in Switzerland. That’s when people are predicting this thing will annihilate the planet, the solar system, the galaxy, even the whole known universe. A webpage showing the countdown to total destruction has been made for all to fret over. It’s supposed to happen on midnight, Thursday, EST, which is like 6 am on Friday, local time.
What sounds very ominous about it is the amount of energy involved. And the types of things they are exploring. They’re trying to recreate conditions as they existed a trillionth of a second after the big bang. Except small. That’s the part most people miss.
So there’s no reason to fear the destruction of earth. I bet some new info about particle physics will come out of this. Good things, not bad. If you’re interested, lots of fun pictures have been made available.

If it blows up, it takes out France. Why is that a problem?
I have to get me one of those!!!!!!!!!!!
I dunno, if it blows France isn’t the only country that will compressed into nothingness.
But Steven Hawkins says otherwise and I’ll take his word for it. He’s pretty sharp.
If Steven Hawkins is so smart, why can’t he walk?
He has a paralysis and his condition is what make him who he is. If he were able to walk i doubt as many people would know about him as they do.
It is precisely the fact that Hawkins is retarded that anyone knows about him. He is not particularly good at physics when ranked among the world’s elite. Hawkins is routinely proven wrong, well better known for ‘loosing a bet’ (as his advertising department calls it) when proven wrong by other physicists. He gets put up on a pedestal because he is a tard, not because he is a great physicist. It also helps that there are several books credited as being ‘written’ by him and thus creating the hype … which is a trick he copied from Sagan (who also was not among the elite of his field).
