Large Hadron Collider is now active

Remember, the most dangerous thing a scientist can say is, "Hm, that's interesting..."

Not to worry though, because as I have found, these guys are on the job.


Did I mention that they're super-serious, and give their work the utmost gravitas ?

We're all going to [strike]die!!![/strike] be just fine, I'm sure.   

This is so cool.

Aperture Science: We do what we must, because we can. 

Anything in which you must have a serious discussion on whether it will or will not destroy the world is bad...very bad. When you use words like "black holes", "dark matter", and "big bang" people are going to get a bit nervous. I for one am watching this thing very closely and will not be surprised if it brings about the end of the world.

You have been warned!

Europe is being devoured by the singularity !  Oh what fools we were!  What a world, what a world!

Seriously though, it's funny to me how worked up people are getting about the black hole thing.  I blame the media for misrepresenting the situation, really.  There's a world of difference between "Particles that have the density of a black hole before breaking apart" and "creating a black hole".  I believe it was a Mr. Clemens who said something about Lightning and Lightning Bugs. 

The same kind of concerns were brought up before the testing of the first nuclear bomb - that it would begin a chain reaction that would destroy all matter.  Since you're reading this, it probably didn't happen...

<<Since you're reading this, it probably didn't happen...>>

At least not in this singularity.
