Will Tomorrow Be The End Of The Universe?

You see, there are a bunch of Geeks that have this gigantic toy, the largest machine ever built - a giant, ring-shaped atom smasher called the “Large Hadron Collider” (LHC). The thing is 27 kilometers around and will hurl a few tiny amounts of matter close to light speed in opposite directions around the rings of the LHC. Then, when they’re at full speed, they will cross the beams and smash the matter together inside four giant detectors. Didn’t they ever watch the Ghost Busters? You NEVER cross the beams!
The geeky talk can go on and on here over at CERN. But the part that really gets me a little jittery is the fact that it is also possible that micro black holes may form.
It is a possibility. The conditions within the LHC approximate those present when dead stars collapse in on themselves and give birth to black holes. Not to worry, the scientists tell us, even if a black does form it will be microscopic and should quickly dissipate.
I don’t know about you. But from what I’ve grown up to believe about black holes is that they suck everything around them in and continue to grow until they too end up collapsing in on themselves. So all they need is one tiny speck of dust to get caught in it and ‘SLUUUURP’ we’re all dead. Or living in a parallel dimension. Maybe we’ll all be 2D. LOL Or even scarier yet… Have you ever seen the movie THE MIST?
At some point Wednesday, the switch will be thrown for the initial testing of the Large Hadron Collider on the border of Switzerland and France. The 17-mile underground loop will eventually smash stuff together with seven times the force available at the Fermilab collider in Illinois in an attempt to see what the universe was like a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The holy grail for particle researchers will be the Higgs boson, the lone particle in the Standard Theory yet to be detected.

Remember that the scientists at the Manhattan Project warned the US army that testing the first atomic bomb might set off a chain reaction that would vaporize the entire atmosphere. The generals went ahead anyway and we’re all still breathing. So why not tempt fate again huh?
Sure. If this experiment proves a lot of their theories, we’ll advance and have neat new inventions and gadgets. Maybe tele-portation, time travel, or even cyber-sex. Oh what, didn’t they already do cyber-sex? Oh well anyway, is all this worth it? Is taking that chance so important to prove to some pack of nerds that their theories were right? What does it matter what happened seconds after the Big-Bang Theory?
So, do you think that they are taking their chances with the rest of the world’s lives? Do you think it’s a great Experiment? Do you not have a clue as to what I’m talking about? Are you scared?
Well, I’m still going to have to go to work for one more day since it won’t happen until late tomorrow for us here on this side of the big pond.
Then again, I am so burnt out I am apathetic.
@DragonLady - Yea, I’ll have to put a days work in also.
I’ve never been sucked into a black hole before, you?
Man, I’m still waiting for the flying cars!! And I’m closer to this bloody disaster, so I’ll get it first :
o
@theenglishguy - Well. Either they’re trying to fight off inter-dimensional monsters, nothing happened at all and they just blew billions on a gigantic magnetic ring, something happened that they don’t want to talk about, or Elvis Presley showed up. Oh wait, that last one would be the inter-dimensional monsters wouldn’t it? Or maybe they got some very useful Data and we will see them flying cars very soon.
@MacBros - Oh come on… there’s no free buffet, Elvis won’t show up.
@theenglishguy - OH YEAaaaaa! I suppose your right about that.
@MacBros - Yes, I was in one for 8 hours today.
Oh come on MacBros - everyone knows the world will end the minute I get a girlfriend. Fate just loves to screw me like that
Things like this just prove to me how stupid people are. I mean with all this intelligence they don’t think to ask if maybe they SHOULD be turning this thing on? Instead they are just going to turn it on because they CAN? Yeah, great reasoning, especially when they really don’t KNOW what the results will be.
Also remember guys, all the experiments they will be performing are NOTHING compared to what cosmic rays do to our atmosphere. In fact, many physicists believe micro black holes may form from the cosmic rays that hit the earth - but nearly instantly die off due to hawking radiation.
@Jeremy Steele - Yea, I actually read all that. I’m just trying to hype people up and get them all going with “WHAT IF?” ideas. It’s what I do best. LOL
Besides, if you’re lucky, some hot little lady might finally give in, since it’s the end of the world, and let you boink her!
@teeni - It’ll actually be about a week before we find out as it has to rev up to speed before they cross paths.
Then, “BLAAAAMMMOOO!!!!” we all end up with two heads, pointy tails, and supernatural abilities!
I dunno MacBros - it’s me we’re talking about. Some hottie will be like “world’s gonna end baby, lets do it” and I’ll be like “just hang on a second…. ok the algorihm goes on this line…. ohhh damnit PHP error crud… uhh wait an hour, k babe?” then as soon as 60 minutes past it’ll just go KABOOM.
@Jeremy Steele - And KABOOM being the world exploding right?
Yeah…
