Well, at least we'll all die young if this is the case. I really wasn't looking forward to ending up being an old saggy lady who's had her hip replaced more times than Paris Hilton has gotten plowed.
End of the World...

Well, scientists decided it's ok and it's the media that demonize the experiment. I'd trust Lucifer more then the media.
But if it does happen, just think - we'd have a working black hole generator at our disposal. Like, endgame Master of Orion style! We'd be a kickass cosmic race! Bring it on ya aliens, I say.
We would also be kind of extinct though...

Unless of course it ends as a result of our sun expanding to become a red giant.A_Red_Sky_Morning post=18.70381.690867 said:
Which is exactly what's going to happen in a few billion years.
Great work on replacing Lithone with Earth, I really had to think hard to check my memory for any scene in which Earth was close to consumption by Unicron ^^The Iron Ninja post=18.70381.690038 said:Pah! your pathetic end world scenario is fuitile against the might of...

Meh, don't really care, if it happens then f^ck it, it's not like i'll be around to complain.
Though if it turns out to be something really crap like we launch a ton of nuclear waste into space and it explodes knocking Mars off of it's regular course and into us, i will be pissed.
Pretty cool to see that though.

if the thing does what its supposed to, then the Combine will show up and take over the world. Thats my bet.
True. Let me revise my statement:Razzle Bathbone post=18.70381.690883 said:
If an apocalypse were to happen, it will only be by the hands of man. I doubt that any superior being will come into play, if you will. Unless that superior being were to also come into being by the hand of man, ala Watchmen. Which I doubt.
Okay. Be cool, everyone, be cool. So long as he doesn't find a crowbar and a hopped-up orange spacesuit, we'll be fine.meatloaf231 post=18.70381.689820 said:
Also, as others have said, we are dealing with extraordinarily tiny particles. The black holes everyone is worried about occur after a STAR (which is made of a whole lot of particles; even more than you are!) collapses under its own weight. If somehow the Large Hardon... I'm sorry, HADRON Collider somehow did create a tiny black hole, it would decay and dissipate before it did anything more than make some scientist wet himself.
However:
"As the physicist Michio Kaku has said, the LHC has as much chance of ending the world as it does of producing fire-breathing dragons."
Me, I'm all for creating fire-breathing dragons... OF SCIENCE! *trumpet music*
Right on. Couldn't agree with you more.John Galt post=18.70381.689791 said:
This is pretty much what I was going to explain. The LHC is being used by four different research groups to uncover and solve many of the nagging questions physicists have being debating for years. They may discover what the universe was like 14 billion years ago, just nano-seconds after the big bang. Something current day physics and mathematics can't even approach. They may also discover answers to things like why gravity is such a weak force compared to every other fundamental force such as electro-magnatism or they may find the elusive Higgs particle, which they believe is what gives all other particles their mass. They may even find out what exactly dark matter and even dark energy are and why they behave the way they do. They may also prove that we exists in more dimensions than our perceived 4 (heighth, width, depth, time). All this depends on the LHC colliding millions of protons together at nearly 99% the speed of light. What happens then? They may just annihilate each other, giving off energy and particles, or they may mash together so closely their gravity will over come the repulsive weak and strong nuclear forces holding them apart and cause them to collapse into a black hole. This black hole would then evaporate in a an instant (through entropy and Hawking radiation) but would give off energy and potential exotic particles providing untold amounts of data. What does this mean for us? Put simply, if it does as predicted, or even as unpredicted, it will show us how the universe works in ways we could never have predicted. This will bring us closer to the Theory of Everything. A unified theory that would explain every fundemental and exotic force and principle in the universe. It could very well open the doors to a new level of phyics far ahead of what we now know. Our technology and understanding of the universe could advance exponentially.The Rogue Wolf post=18.70381.697940 said:
I hope the above answered your question. And yes, it is worth the risk as there really IS no risk except for a hefty electric bill.Tread184 post=18.70381.689733 said:
well i hope they screw this one up and the only reason u don't hear of them screwing up is cause its with the government u know they like to cover there epic fails upneedausername post=18.70381.689601 said:

That's what I have to say on the matter. Even if it were true, who gives a shit? At least we'll get to see who was right in the whole religion thing.

according to the mayans the world will end Dec. 21-22, 2012. Also a famous psychic from when FDR was president (Had a really big brain fart and can't remember his name, if anyone knows fill in the blank.) Said,"the world will end after the fall of May and Mack." nobody knew what that meant, but a while back Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two the largest banks in the country collapsed. Bible theorists believe that there will be a meteor impact in the Atlantic Ocean between 2010 and 2012. Then their are some Hindus that the end of Kali Yuga is around 2012, which is the coming of a new age. Then we come to Nostradamus with quotes like,"From the sky will come a great King of Terror",and "The present time together with the past Will be judged by the great Joker: The world too late will be tired of him, And through the clergy oath-taker disloyal." If those mean anything. Nostradamus was kinda vague and maybe got wrong dates but some of his stuff was freaky. Will the world end like these predictions, with some kind of super collidor thingy, or evil pink bunnies. Who the hell Knows.
P.S. Sorry that was long
