I'm still keen to see CERN crank it up...about the time that Stephen Hawking
thinks: "Did I make a slip there? Was that a plus where a minus should have
gone in that formula around thirty years ago?"
Then, in around a matter of a hour or so, the entire solar system collapses
into the black hole where Earth used to be.
Many would be appalled to conceive of such a possibility.
I'd find that to be absolutely hilariously funny. :-D



DOOMSDAY FEARS SPARK LAWSUIT

"The builders of the world's biggest particle collider are being sued
in federal court over fears that the experiment might create
globe-gobbling black holes or never-before-seen strains
of matter that would destroy the planet."

"One experiment at the LHC, known as ALICE, seeks to re-create the
conditions that existed just an instant after the big bang"

Wait just a freakin' minute...didn't the universe suddenly and monstrously
.....inflate....just after the big bang? Maybe we'll become that tiny
particle inside a huge new universe. Maybe they think shrinking us down
to subatomic size will allow them to finally find the long lost "God Particle".

Leave it to the Euros to blow up the planet again.
