Some argue we will all die in October TOMORROW due to the activation of the LHC because it will open up a black hole and make the Earth collapse.
Discuss.

I think it'll make Wookies appear. And Vulcans.
That'd be rad.

It's turning on tomorrow, fusing in October. On the infinitesimal off-chance it does create a black hole, it won't do anything for four years.

Don't worry. It won't happen. If it does, you can all laugh in my face in hell.
 
if it does create harmful black holes (people argue that even if it does create any, despite the chances of that being less than winning the lottery and getting struck by a lightning in clear day on the same day, would be micro-black holes and they would disappear before causing any damage; while the people involved in the experiment of course deny it) then we'll be too dead to complain about it afterwards anyway

not like they'd stop their experiment due to complaints beforehand

it's weird how people take it as 100% when it's totally unlikely that it would happen

either way, it's one of those good ways for making people to watch the news all day

I'm curious to hear how much they'll actually find out after finishing the experiment, seeing as they have very high expectations for the results

It's tomorrow in 17 minutes where I live.
If nothing happens I'll consider the experiment a failure.

EDIT: it is tomorrow.

i'm disappointed.

I voted for the bottom option because I'm immature like that =D

In other words, nothing's going to happen except stuff being discovered for the good of mankind, while everyone flails their arms expecting the end of the world to happen in 2012 instead.
 
I don't wanna die mommy.

Stupid scientists trying to kill us. :c

[/immature]

I doubt it's going to create a black hole and kill us all.




...Hopefully.
 
I had this weird dream one morning that a black hole was created and it sucked half of the earth into it and brought us to this planet that had a building similar to my old school, and then the aliens on the planet assigned me to organize some sort of party.

If that happened, that would be oddly amazing.

But, meh, I don't think much of anything will happen.

Now it's stuck in my head.
 
It turns on in two hours-ish, which unfortunately is just as I leave for school.

And as CNiall (And I) said, it's just powering on today. The collisions won't happen until October.

I had this dream that some kind of black hole, which resembled the twilight in Twilight Princess, consumed the world... It was, you could'nt go past a certain point because the way was blocked by some dark violet-ish wall, which'd be the "black hole", and a few days later, the wall had moved even closer (south, actually). Eventually, when everything had been consumed, we all woke up in some different world. Or maybe the same world, in a different place. And we had forgotten the old one. But when I met a lot of people I know and love, but had forgotten, there was like something in my head wanted to get remembered, and eventually, I remembered everything!

... so maybe that will happen! :D
 
It'll be switching on some point within an hour now.

Hooray?

And honestly, do you think scientists would go ahead with it if there was a risk?
 
BLA BLA BLA THE WORLD IS GOING TO END

stop being doom mongers

if the world really is going to end, why the fuck are you sitting around wasting time on the internet
