From the NZ Herald: Baby Bang experiment could open door to new dimension
| Quote: |
* Scientists aim to reproduce miniature versions of the so-called Big Bang, which is thought to have started the universe.
* To do this they will smash protons together at huge speeds along a 27km tube known as a particle accelerator.
* They hope to create tiny black holes or find extra dimensions in the universe.
* They estimate the possibility of accidentally destroying the planet as extremely low. |
I declare this to be completely awesome.

Hypothesis: it will pry open the Gates of Hell and evil shall be set loose upon the world.
Let's fire her up! |

Well, that's good. Because otherwise it would ruin my day somewhat, but that's just me.

| I'd feel a lot safer if it was a 1 in a googolplex chance of it happening. But alas... |

| Think of it this way...if they do open the gates to hell or some nasty dimension in which wee nasty beasties roam the Earth, then we can all grab our BFGs and plasma rifles and have a real-life 'Doom' experience. |

Speak for yourself. I don't have a BFG. I could probably scrounge up a LFG, but not in Korea.  |

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that they are right this time, but if they are wrong, then snuffing the entire planet in a misbegotten lab experiment is a better way to go than being blasted out of existence to make way for an intergalactic bypass. Go for it, boys! |
