We spoke about this in Philosophy and Ethics class today. The Hadron Collider is meant to spin two particles (i think) around the 17 mile circuit under the city. Evetually, when they get to nearly the speed of light, completeing the circuit with about 7,000,000 of a second, they'll let them touch. This should recreate the environment instantly after the big bang. Literally, about 10,000 of a second after. Then they'll observe it.
POSSIBLE BAD THINGS
1. It will make several mini black holes that within four years can expand to eat the Earth.
2. It makes strangelets. They will proceed to turn the Earth into grey goo. (Seriously).
3. It will make another big bang, blowing up the earth from the inside.
So. Who's looking forward to Wednesday?
