Life as we know it just might all come to an end in a few hours. I’m not sure how many of you have been following this, but the Large Hadron Collider will fire up in a few hours. There are a few scientists who believe these experiments might trigger a black hole, which will eventually swallow planet Earth and eventually our entire solar system, erasing any evidence that we were ever here. Here’s the scary part: the scientists who are pretty confident that a scenario like this will not happen admit that in theory, there is an outside chance that this could happen. I personally feel that if we’re going to attempt something like this all scientists should all be 100% sure that there is a 0% possibility that a black hole can be spawned before trying something like this, but that’s just me… lol. On the other hand, the data that comes from these experiments can increase our knowledge of everything exponentially.

With the Large Hadron Collider firing up for the first time Wednesday, some critics have speculated that the world’s biggest atom smasher could spawn a black hole that would devour Earth. Most physicists respond that the collider is safe and even necessary for the advancement of humankind.
But what if they’re wrong?
What exactly would happen if the 17-mile (27-kilometer) circular tunnel under pastoral France and Switzerland opened up a black hole—or black holes?
The Planet Eater
Physicists across the globe are on the edges of their seats, but not because they’re worried about a Franco-Swiss black hole.
In recreating the conditions present a trillionth of a second after the big bang, the collider could reveal the nature of dark matter, thought to provide structure throughout the universe, scientists say. The machine could also unmask a theoretical but as yet unseen particle, called Higgs boson—or the “God particle”—that is believed to give other particles their mass.
There’s also a very, very remote chance that the process will spawn black holes—any one of which could assume an odd orbit within Earth, devouring microscopic chunks of matter until the entire planet is gone, physicists say.
This and other harrowing—and equally unlikely—scenarios prompted a couple of independent scientists to sue this past spring to stop the atom smasher. So far they haven’t succeeded, and the vast majority of the world’s physicists are on board with the project.
Whatever, see you all tomorrow, AND the day after……
WE’RE ALL GONNA’ DIIIIEEEE!!!! AHHHH!!! I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
may the force be with you
RS LINKS?
THEY ARE NOT COLLIDING ANY PARTICLES
They are only inaugurating the LHC and a will ceremonially throw a few protons around the rings. The real stuff goes down in late October.
they already did the proton tests in August. http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/25/1290475.aspx
CERN freaks me out.. all those smart people with their giant heads all packed underground… thats some heavy shit dood.
im not very smart but i have been following this stuff on the news and its pretty damn impressive (and slightly scary).. and i agree with the first guy, see you losers tomorrow lol
don’t worry, be happy!
Whoever posts some spammage next about thescene.org is unquestionably an assmonkey!
why post some weak shit bout some weak scenesite on a quality scenesite!
so if i did the math right this thing will blow at about 3:00AM EST Sept 11th ??
Correct Me If I Am Wrong
i checked out The-Scene.org
I liked it… Ive seen A LOT worse out there
WERE ALLL DOOOMEEEED
Oh well, that was fun
At least I wont have to pay my mortgage this month
Bulllsiht
there is not gonna be any erth eater
I’ve got nothing going for me, bring on the end I say!
comment moderation back on indefinitely. and what kind of stupid fuck compares us to that shit site? we’re not even a torrent site. any lamer who constantly has to spam our pages should tell you how desperate they are for members.
well i’ve seen the dark knight…what else is there to do in this world?
the spammer is a pinche joto culero baboso nariz de verga!
don’t be retarded please.
scientists had been believing things, day after day.
i believe your mom is man.
proves please, facts, bullshit ain’t nothing.
I’m not dead yet.
HEY DOESNT THAT MEAN I’LL BE A QUANTUM SINGULARITY WITH JESSICA ALBA??? FUCKING AWESOME DUDE!! BRING IT ON!!
and spammer fuck that has now gotten moderation on permanently.. you’re a fucking cock.. you’re site is shit.. you’ve earned a new member who is going to leech leech leech (just leech pointless shit to chew bandwidth).. but not upload 1 fucking kilobyte to you or your shitty fucking members..
EVERYBODY WHO COMES TO SCENERELEASES JOIN UP TO HIS FAGGY WEBSITE AND LEECH THOSE FUCKERS!!! LEECH IT UNTIL THEIR MEMBERS PISS OFF AND LEAVE HIS WEBSITE IN FRUSTRATION..
I don’t think anybody has a clue what you tried to say, leil, except for you.
Well hopefully it don’t ruin the goats producing that lovely Chev over there in France! Not to mention we gotta keep those Swiss bank accounts up yo!
Great advancement brings great fear!
What a bullshit post.
So we don’t have to worry about global warming any more because the same idiot “scientists” found something else to scare us with.
I think we’re doomed.
Check this out :O

To be fair when they set off the first atom bomb they thought there was a small possibility that it could cause a chain reaction effectively destroying all matter in the universe, so at least this time we are only putting our own civilisation at risk…..
Its not the first particle excelerator just the largest. If none of the others caused a black hole(or have they? muhahaha) why this time? Besides, as all good Christian Americans know, Jesus hasnt returned to lop off our heads and send all those sinning scientists packing off to hell yet so there will be no black hole yet until he comes riding in on the white horse, you know that!!!! So just relax smoke another joint I think we will be ok. PRAISE THE LORD LOL !!!

get on that to watch it live right now!….
i another world i will reg yahoo.com domain name :D if god didnt got it :))
Comment moderation excellent,.. i know it seems silly but every time i see that same thescene.org post it really annoys me,… probably coz they put it on every post!…….
Comments should be topic relevant or at least interesting not jus the same comment copied over and over
the end of the world is postponed until later. i.e. 21th of october.
Being dead is apparently quite lively.
LMFAO, im still alive HURRAY, Had to smoke a fat Blunt cause I was scared it may be my last!!
I hear all over the earth, the Sun is changing colors…OMG,..the doomsday is finally here….
even E3nder had to copy and paste his whole article because he didnt know what the fick he was talking abouth either lmao… PS we are still here, your worse than the Jehovas Witnesses lmao
Today is the beam test only. No particles. Next month they will sustain a full beam around the entire collider. No particles. In two months CERN will collide the first particles. However, if I read correctly, It will take around two more months to get the things at the uncharted speeds that CERN says will produce the new sub particles. Then we die.
lets rape, plunder & download as much stuff as we can
I have studied particle colliders a great deal and the one thing that scares me the most about this thing is the Alice Experiment phase. At that point anything could happen. And if you read more at any science website you will see why. Even if you know nothing at all about Relativity, Quantum Theory, or bosons.
Most of you wont be missed…
Here we go again someone trys to advance things and the panic merchants come out in force all we need now is the bloody vatican to start harping. Seriously people the energy needed to create a black hole of sufficient size to even start absorbing matter is way way beyond our means to provide the equipment with. Yet another non story dreamed up by people that like having us all live in fear.
Bunch of an American Idiots …
WTF! Why is the ground shaking..? Oh nooo..! Here we go… WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
ooops that was just me farting :)
Is it worth risking the entire whole world for this experiment, for what would be gained in so doing this for?
And what right does anyone have to risk the entire whole world, for an experiment?
The only steps to insure our safety, would be to insure the experiment isn’t done, as nobody is going to be able to reverse what happens afterwords when something could or did go wrong here.
Should we allow scientist who don;t all agree with each other, often wrong, dictate the destruction of our entire whole world, for their own personal experiments?
Doesn’t that demonstrate poor moral judgment?
^^^To the above comment>
"Should we allow scientist who don;t all agree with each other, often wrong, dictate the destruction of our entire whole world, for their own personal experiments?"
No we should allow religious leaders who dont all agree with each other,often wrong, dictate the destruction of our entire whole world, for their own personal experiments.
we cant all die yet because its not 2012.., duh
before they made the first a bomb go off, some scientists said the chainreaction could possibly go on in the athmosphere around the world and burn all of it…
some scary shit this is… hope they dont screw up…

I say:
What an insightful and thought provoking angle.
Now stay out of my country or I will shoot you in the face.
Im sorry for the people that have put so much effort into this but, its pathetic. Why are you even risking everybodys lives to recreate a silly theory!? Especially when nobody will be alive to even know that it happened! who are you proving this to? nobody is going to be alive anymore! how is that recreating when nobody knows!?
Youve spent over 9 billion dollars on somehting to kill us all! Think about world poverty, and youve just spent all this money on a killing machine. I know im not a scientist, but seriously, is it worth everybodys lives? Who cares how we got here, we’re here arent we? and im sure alot of people would like ot stay that way!
Think of the rest of the people that still have lives to live.
lets face it!!!!
we are all goin to die . thats 100% fact … or are weee??? lol
i wanna be sooked into a black hole
it might be good fun ?
not many cunts can say they been sooked into a black hole … so i would like to be the first … the rest of you can grow old and die of cancer or develope diabetes or sum shit …
i suppose what im saying is …. there is more chance of an ants fart blowing down the pyramids, than them daft fukkers smashing a couple of things we cant even see together
who ever said we are going to get sooked into a black hole is a retard… and any daft fukker who thinks its true already has there head stuck up there arse !
lol
lets not be twats
You can ask everyone that has some physics knowledge: This scenario is never gonna happen – and obviously quite ridiculous :-) :-)
I hope it really does open that black hole, I’m bored of this planet… turn off the light.
I agree with maglor.
Wipe us out.
It would make the galaxy a better place.
We don‘t die. Just the internet breaks down.
.
..
…
Ok, we‘re doomed
Gets me wondering if it’s any truth in that…don’t think it is but I’m not 100% convinced, maybe 98%.Shit give me some facts
