End of the World?

[Buleste]

The Large Hadron Collider goes on line on 10th September and with the possibility of the experiment forming quasars and micro black holes could this be the end of the world? The good news is if it does happen is that we loose France and Switzerland first.

I bet some guy at work £10 that it isn't going happen. If he ends up being right, then that £10 is the least of my worries.

Can't we lose the United States while we're at it?

Well, in The v85 Book of Utter Scientific Bollox, it states that:

In theory, generating a microscopic alternative centre of gravity within close proximity of the earth's natural gravity could generate shockwaves through the very mantle of the earth, disrupting the flow of the earth's core and forcing molten rock up through the faultlines between the plates.

One of the most likely places to suffer would be the San Andreas Fault, and the effects could also be felt in Yellowstone. Other problems could also be felt along the other faultlines, and areas of volcanic activity. The force could even re-awaken some of the long-dead calderas.

I read Flash Forward by Robert J Sawyer, in which everyone's conciousness is fast forwarded 21 years into the future for 2 minutes as soon as the particles collide in the new LHC. Everyone experiences where they are and what they're doing 21 years hence. Great read.

Pray you don't find yourself with another woman who's clearly your new wife!
