Is the world going to end this Saturday?
Discussion
I didn't realise this was happening this week end-now what is it I always said I must do!!!!??

[i]Hadron Collider
This Saturday the most advanced scientific instrument ever built will be switched on in Geneva.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been built to test current theories for particle physics and scientists will try and recreate the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang by smashing parts of atoms together at high speeds.
When activated the collider could show one of the most elusive particles in our Universe, the Higgs boson, also called the "God particle". This observation could confirm the Standard Model of physics unifying three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out just gravity.
However, other more dangerous particles will also be produced for which searches are planned, such as black holes, and never seen before particles of matter, and even now, the architects of what is being termed a "Doomsday" machine, the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab, the National Science Foundation and CERN are being sued in federal court over fears that this experiment may in fact destroy the planet.
Also our old friend Nostradamus’ words ring from the grave with this grim prediction:
Nostradamus quatrain 9 44:
Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturn will be converted from gold to iron,
"Raypoz" will exterminate all who oppose him,
Before the coming the sky will show signs.
[/i]
My belief is that Gordon brown will raise a Windfall tax on this -for any number of reasons-but mainly because he just doesn't need a reason.
Having said that I can't help but think science is playing a little bit of "We've never pressed this funny little red button here-
Let's try it today shall we??

The level of carefree reckless abandon with which they punch it aren't as playful and un-calculated as you suggest, though... Let's try it today shall we??sprinter885 said:

You know, if he'd have said 'That Hadron Collider thing that they're going to fire up in 2008? Really bad idea. Trust me. August will be a bad month. Tears in the fabric of time and space. I wouldn't turn it on if I were you. By the way, that Bonekickers thing is going to be sNostradamus quatrain 9 44:

t too' I'd give it some weight. As it is, what he said means f
k all.I doubt it very much.
Somebody who presumably (!) knows something about it said the chance of it creating dangerous particles was similar to the odds of winning the lottery jackpot on 3 consecutive weeks. The problem being that people actually believe that it's possible to win the lottery on 3 consecutive draws...
I'm not worried about it.
Bet it takes a feckin lot of power. Has it got it's own power station?

Maybe he just didn't like Switzerland?? Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,

On the plus side, if it does destroy the earth we'll never know about it
