Think we're gonna miss that. Can we have somebody tape it if the world does end?
Can't they delay this thing by 3 or 4 years so it will coincide with that Mayan
calendar prophecy?

Good point, damn bad programing on the part of the SCI FI channel.
December 21, 2010... I think....
It has been theorised, in fact, that all we observe as 'known space' exists inside a black hole, so don't worry about it. Plus, micro-black-holes, are theoretically at least, generated all the time and float about in local space nibbling at atoms for a while before dissipating.
Cascade reactions unbinding the bonds between atoms throughout the universe are highly unlikely as a consequence ofthe LHC. Just in case tho', I shall make sure to be drunk prior to full power activation
.
EDIT: The Mayan calendar thing has been done to death. It's not the end of the world or Rapture (sorry, Christian Fundamentalists), it's just the end of the current cycle. That can mean that everyone will stop being such a me-first **** about everything and become more spiritual rather than materialist or it could be the reverse. We just don't know (or if it signifies anything at all). The Mayan calendar is (allegedly) a cycle of psycho-social influences and it's up to us how we react to them.

Isn't it interesting that any time some new discovery comes along the doom sayers come out of the woodwork? From Columbus sailing off the edge of the world to Y2K.....we've not really changed at the core have we? ROFL
....it's the 21st Century and though we make great scientific breakthroughs like this one, as a whole we're still nothing more than frightened-rock-beating-cavemen at heart. LMAO

Sure, it just takes thousands of universe lifetimes to accomplish.
So, yeah-sometimes, to the physicist, that's eventually........
......and sometimes a pico-second or two is a very, very long time. :lol:
So Long and Thanks For All The Fish.
Where's your towel?
Make sure to have a stack of them ready ... and some peanuts ... and some beer (of course) ... now where did I put my Electronic Thumb?
Q: But what about the B.H.U.S.-es?

With that in mind I suppose things could be worse… it could be a Vogon Poetry recital
Don't forget to counter-point the underlying metaphor - it won't save you from the air-lock but it never hurts to try .

Same here...my first thought was "I thought he was dead?"
Now, you know in the world of sci-fi no one is ever really dead.
