It's The End of the World As We Know It
lhc3.jpg
Oh that? That just happens to be the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons charged with approximately 7 TeV of energy. Most call it the Large Hadron Collider. Scientists love it. Skeptics think it'll rip a hole into the space-time continuum like that time Marty bought Gray's Sports Almanac in Back to the Future II. Lucky for us, a highly scientific website has been put together to keep us informed on the collider's state.

Looks cool as hell. If it blows up the world, we'll it's gonna blow up sooner or later.

I think this is awesome. I can't wait to hear the proponents of Creationism give their spiel on all of this.

That website should say "Yeah" instead of "Nope."

I try to imagine what my grampa might have thought. I'm sure he would be interested in the whole " God particle " idea. Gramps was a small town preacher and he never thought we would ever get to the moon. He thought God would prevent us from traveling to the heavens. He also said Jimmy Carter was gona go to hell for giving away the Panama canal.

Well Gramps, down the hatch.

I don't see a real utility for such thing.

They could send Thomas into the colider and see what happened when he started to spin around.

Save yourself the airfare and just toss him into a trash compactor.

My dad called me from England worried about this thing. I'll have to send him that link, it'll ease his mind.

The end of the world may not be such a bad thing - it'll save me from more undendingly boring hours trying to build a spice empire in SPORE.

Ok, so if this is the way the universe began...who built the supercollider?

said Don't Swayze Bro on September 10, 2008 4:25 PM.

ummmm death by black hole?

can you say BADASS?

that will be a story to tell the....oh wait

said Laura on September 10, 2008 5:28 PM.

Hey, wait a minute. How do we know we didn't destroy the planet with this thing? Maybe it just ripped open a parallel dimension that is identical to the one that was just destroyed.

After all, those goats got let out of prison. Anything's possible.

said Don't Swayze Bro on September 10, 2008 5:59 PM.

Damn Swayze, so deep, and yet so true. Personally I wanna fly over their and spray paint my name on that thing, that's how impressed I am.

BTW, aside from the blowing up the world thing how do we really know if this is working or not? For all I know they just took 5 billion (or whatever) bucks (Euro's whatever), dug a ditch, laid some pipe and hooked their computer up to Dig Dug which they bought off of ebay for 50 bucks from a nerdy dude who lives in garden level apartment in Greeley. Not that I have a problem with that.

said E on September 10, 2008 6:05 PM.

I actually viewed the page source for this site. Hilarious! There is actually a script in place so if the world does end, as defined by the embedded Javascript, it will change the message.

And the owner of the site promises a full refund if the world is extinguished and the site remains out of date.

Bravo!

said Will on September 10, 2008 9:01 PM.

Maybe it will replace the universe with another one exactly like it except dolphins will be blue. Maybe it already happened! Quick someone check the dolphins!!!

said Sheriff Pablo on September 11, 2008 8:54 AM.

i think we are th same experiment, another life form did it and we are tiny particals in th few seconds after th collision, wen th bang occurs we hav lived millions of years to us bt a few seconds to th scientists, that wud explain creation and god in one, maybe an ancestor caught a glimpse of th scientist lukin at us closely AND scientists wear white like angels, thats th universe, remember who said it first ME ME ME lol

said Davie boy on September 16, 2008 10:53 PM.

Thomas, is that you?
