So CERN's Large Hadron Collider is gonna get turned on on 10th September underground in Switzerland. Some people fear that the experiment will create miniature black holes, in fact two people are so worried that a miniature black hole will expand (disproving Hawkins' theory that a miniature black hole would evaporate in a billionth of a billionth of a second) and swallow the Earth, that they have filed a lawsuit to stop it... in Hawaii. While it's doubtful that that suit will be successful, there are others who are persuing the issue in the European Court of Human Rights.
What do you think, unfounded fear, or doomsday approaching?
I think anyone who doesn't listen to a very large number of scientists is a fool.
That is all. I shall try to restrain myself on this issue. I went the cosmology route anyway, leaving particle physics in my last year.
5 Scientific Experiments most likely to end the world.
*Laughs.*
I like their summaries of them. They haven't got a clue, but they put it so nicely.
Personally I'm more worried that Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse will get married and produce mutant babies that will enslave humanity with their bizarre sounding voices.
I do not think humans are the main cause of the current 'global warming' climate. Am I a fool?
No. I don't think global warming is entirely our fault either. But then, I'm not convinced there are a very large number of scientists saying it is our fault. Or, to be more accurate, there are an equally large number of scientists saying it isn't our fault, so they cancel out.
The issue with CERN is that there are a couple of crackpots up against a load of experts. The global warming debate is two large groups of clever people up against each other.
Of course it would be nice if we didn't die at all.
