It's The End of the World As We Know It....

....And I Feel Fine!
If you haven't heard, Wednesday, September 10, 2008 is the newest date for the end of the world. CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) is flipping the "On" switch to the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, for its initial testing. Nevermind that it will take a while for this thing to be to its full power, the end is neigh!


The LHC is the world's largest particle accelerator, located in Geneva, Switzerland. This giant, billion dollar contraption is either some kind of wonderful device that will unlock the mysteries of the universe or something that will create a black hole which will engulf all life as we know it.

The basics of the LHC are well beyond my limits of understand. I can barely calculate tips at restaurants let alone the complex uber nerd math that is happening at CERN. The LHC is a 17 mile, circular particle accelerator that is buried deep below the peaceful surface along the Franco-Swiss border. Particles will collide with each other at high rates of speed to create a shower of exotic particles that will tell scientists a myriad of things about the conditions of the universe after the Big Bang.

Scientists are also hoping to find hypothetical particles that will prove that various theories are indeed correct. One such particle, the graviton, should it be produced from the experiments at the LCH, would verify String Thory as something tangible.

Those in opposition of the LHC becoming fully operational are worried that tiny black holes created in the LHC could escape and gobble the Earth. Scientists, however, assure us that even if black holes are created, they would be gone in something like, point zero some odd seconds. Scientists also like to remind us that cosmic rays hit particles in the atmosphere and have yet to create stable black holes.

Here are some of the most awesome YouTube clips pertaining to the LHC and the end of days:

"Debbie Downer Prophecy Video"

lol.


I'm so sick of people trying to scare me into worshipping God with threats from the book of Revelations.

And I'm one speculating about the end of the world. :(
And that's the funnest song evar.

Fear is awesome. That or God. I get them confused.
That song is something else, right?
Way to go, science!

but the world can't end yet! i have three fall out boy shows to go to next month lol

I'm sure science will stop its learning process so that you can fan boy out. I will send them a note. Science has a Buzznet LOL
Science is strong, but the Mayan calendar isn't set to end until December 20, 2012. So, maybe it will take the black hole that long to become dangerous?

All I'm saying is that Gabe Saporta promised he was throwing a party when the world ended. And I still haven't gotten an invite. So...we're safe. I think?

Actually, that Revelation 13 video (which I only braved through for research purposes) says that a collection of (or maybe one) microscopic black hole will travel to the center of the Earth and surprise us come Dec. 12, 2012.

Science says that in order for a microscopic black hole to eat even a minuscule amount of matter, it would take longer than the universe has been around.

LOL

Also, Revelation 13 has a friggin Buzznet!

My Dearest VaginalDIscharge:

I LOL'd at your comment because I too, thought about LOST and the LHC being intertwined. Yay!

So hey people that have tickets for shows that will happen after the world ends..
I hear that since there is a multiverse and each one has every possible out come occurring at all times, maybe you can just TiVo these shows in one of these places.

Woo!
