Anyone worried about the Hadron Collider reboot ?

[Board Game Geek]

Seems a no brainer to me.

On one hand, there is an incredibly small chance that we create anti-matter, or a black hole, or some other freak accident and blow the world, or even the universe up.

On the other hands, there are considerably more chances that we advance the knowledge of Physics / Astrophysics, with potential benefits to mankind.

If the first scenario, however remote, did occur, then it's a bit more interesting that slipping off in the comfy chair in a nursing home, drenched in your own urine and vomit, moaning about the bruises the care assistants gave you for asking for an extra blanket in your cold room.

Has anyone considered the possibility that it could create a money black hole? A self-sustaining chain reaction that sucks out all the world's money, consuming bank after bank and ravishing peoples pensions and savings?

That`s already happened.......but Gordon would save us

The world is more likely to end if Labour is still in power in July. They pose a greater danger of mass destruction of life than, AGW, black holes from CERN, lack of sunspots, or even GRB from WR 104 put together.

That's not going to happen.

Some people think that if the economy starts to get better then people will believe Gordon has saved them. But they overlook the fact that Gordon has claimed that the UK is well placed to move out of recession but the UK is the only OECD country that hasn't already.

Why has noone picked this up yet?

The economyu got worse? But Saint Gordon the Prudent promised, nay, fortold that Britain has put the era of boom and bust behind it

Labour will win the next election.

Invest in vaseline chaps.

Being worried about the LHC causing the end of the world is up there with worrying that eating pork will give you swine flu. An opinion I actually heard put forth in the office a couple of months ago

Some bloke in the pub last night was pontificating about the Collider. He reckoned that if it went wrong I might be sucked to extinction.


C'mon CERN
