Still Incognitas, Still Chairthingy, Still lurking, Still invisible, unnoticeable, missable, unseen, just haunting h2g2

If the world does end, I hope some watching alien civilisation comes along and erects a huge sign at the event horizon of the new black hole which says -


"I blame 2legs"

Secretly Not Here Any More

Well they're not shooting particles at each other until October, so I say no.

Whether or not it'll end then is a different story!

Wouldn't want my last dinner to have been beans on toast.

Shall I repeat the quote from the Physics professor at Manchester Uni last week on this topic?

One could always google Prof. Brian Cox and LHC...

or maybe click on this link http://www.astroengine.com/?p=1255

I posted it over on SEx and it got moderated smiley - rolleyes

Suffice it to say, he appears to have little respect for anyone who think the LHC is going to destroy the world smiley - winkeye

a link I just recently found

http://www.lhcconcerns.com/LHCConcerns/Forums/phpBB3/index.php

which is either
a) going to make you really scared and worried
or
b) laugh a lot at people who don;t know what they are talking about trying to lecture the scientists on quantum mechanics. Heck, most of them seem unable to grasp basic probability.

Apparently an uncontrollable process might start tomorrow, but beginning from the sub-molecular level, it would take four years to build to earth-shattering status.

Which leads us to 2012, the date in the Mayan calendar which is predicted by them as the End of the World...

Mayans? Their world ended about 700 years ago.
