The End of the World in 8 days

Copied from another forum.

Makes you think though.

The Large Hadron collider under France/switzerland is being turned on on the 10th September.

It fires microscopic particles around a 27km ring at close to the speed of light in opposing directions, and then smashes them together.

These particles are tiny, just a small bunch of atoms, but there going so fast, the collision has the same impact energy as a freight train doing 140mph.

Some Experts are worried that the colision energy, designed to simulate conditions a few millionths of a second after the universe was born, will have so much energy, but concentrated into such a small space (measured in billionths of a millimeter), that there is a good chance that micro black holes could be produced.

Most scientists reckon that they do not pose a danger as they will 'evaporate' as soon as they are made.

But some think there is a small chance the any black holes created could instantly start self feeding on surrounding matter, and grow to eventually consume the entire planet in a few seconds.

Lets hope it goes well then.

Not to worry, it will be a quicker death than the global warming that 'equally' intelligent people predict is coming our way.

Lets all get together and have a group hug, it will do as much good as anything else we could do.

Maybe it will only swallow France.

friends of ours live there!

Seriously I have thought from the first I heard of it that this experiment is the most ludicrous thing anyone could possibly dream up.

Well if we do all disappear down a black hole maybe we'll come out in a more sensible parallel universe. If not, it's been nice knowing you.

oh.... dont think i'll bother paying the phone bill then.

We have until 20/12/2012 - just over 4 years, so the experiment in Switzerland will be OK.
Even then it may well be just worldwide climate catastrophies and some will survive.

end of the world,global warming,i ignore it all, its que sera as far as i'm concerned, whatever happens cashy sure can't alter it.

Mother Shipton had us all written off by 1984 but we're still here.

Pole Shift & Pole Reversal in 2012
Polar shift due 2012 - we are already seeing an increase in natural disasters in the build up to it.

don't buy any of it, its just nature, was no global warming factors when the "Ice Age" was here, unless any of our more senior members can tell me differant.

The Muslims will have taken over by then, anyway.
