For all of you “The End is Nigh!” and “Science will destroy everything!” people…

They’re about to fire up the LHC

Yeah…

(If you know, and don’t care, skip next section)
———————————————-

For those of you who aren’t nerdy enough to know what the hell the LHC is I’ll give an quick, mostly non-scientific explenation:

The LHC, Large Hadron Collider, is in fact an Hadron collider, that is very large. It’s a ring that covers many miles, like a really long tube. It forces tiny objects (particals, atoms, electrons) to collide.

They might use it as kinda like an fusion-reactor beta test. Fusion is how the sun makes energy. The sun is far away, the Swiss mountians of Doom are not.

So aside from exploding the planet with WAY more energy than we can possebly control, it should be able to do 2 other things.

1: Make Black Holes. I have no idea how this works, but my guess is that if that happens, we’re screwed.

2: Make anti-matter (dark matter, black materia… dunno). A really smart scientist guy has stated that LOOKING at this stuff might make reality implode. It sounds stupid, but the guy is supposedly very intelligent andhave written sever books on the subject…

Yeah, I think they were planning to start up the LHC the 10th or something… thats tomorrow…

So just in case we’re f5skd, bye bye people, nice knowing you.

Simen edit:

While some believe it’s the end of the world, others are sure we’ll find something new and exciting. I’m among those who think that a wednesday is a bad day for world destruction, very… anticlimatic.

But no worries, I was linked this picture from someone who seem to know more about what is going on there, and as long as they have something like this, why worry?

Also, check out this awesome video about the HLC…

Btw… the firct collission won’t happen until after a month…
