I find it oddly coincidental that if the world /does/ end by black hole death, it would be in 2012.

The same doomsday year of that in the ancient Mayan calendar.

o.O?

why would it be in 2012

stop spouting 2012 ffs
 
Hey, this is only the first time I mentioned it. And the article I read on the subject claimed if the black holes ever did come around it'd be in four years. *shrug*

that second line was aimed at people in general

and the article you read was totally wrong. people are looking for connections to 2012, thus they ignore the truth and say the LHC will destroy the world in 2012.

if the world is still around in November, we're safe

also I like how the whole 2012 thing is based around a mayan calendar and yet people are putting forth theories like the LHC as the reason. how the hell were the mayans meant to predict that? what little credibility 2012 theories have is lost the instant you stray away from science and into "the mayans predicted the FUTURE!"

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

(craaap if the world ends before November I won't be around to turn fourteen)
(and that means Long Shadows won't come out either oshi-)
 
(If I died before finishing Warriors I think I would have to kill God. :[ Srs.)

We didn't die, I won three bets. The end!
 
France smells.

I'd rather get sucked up by a black hole and maybe end up in a cool new place rather than get pushed around by a white hole. D:< Then I may have to teach that white hole a lesson.
 
We watched this awesome Stephen Hawking documentary in school once where it explains what would theoretically happen to a person if they fell into a black hole.

Sounds like a pretty shitty way to die, actually.
 
Yeah it would hurt like hell but it would be kind of neat.

I mean, it's better than being like run over by a truck or something.
 
As long as the black hole sucks France up first, I'm good.

I agree it's all good France going first, but Switzerland's on the line, too.

Where would we go to get cuckoo clocks and chocolate and hold peace talks, then? It'd be awful!


...And that song opal posted is rather catchy.


EDIT: Don't say Bavaria.

Erm, I've gathered everything I've heard into a (probably wrong) sum-up of the whole thing.

Yesterday, one of the Protons wasn't fired by accident, so they're trying again tomorrow.

Then they'll begin the collisions in October.

For some reason, that won't do anything for 18 months, which is when the protons will finally collide and react/[insert proper term here] with each other.

If a dangerous black hole is created, it'll take four years to do anything (According to opal, this is wrong.)

So, if everything above was right, our predicted extinction is April 2014.

But it's not gonna happen.
 
Rofl, scientists would be stupid to go open up a black hole above our heads :P

It can't happen, it'll take more power then that to call a black hole

Hello, Black Hole hotline? yeah, I'd like a size 3 Quasar, preferably in the general area of the Franco-Swiss border -

No.

As CNiall, said, it's underground. And they would take the chance if it was almost infinite times more likely that it would immensely develop our understanding of the universe.
