It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

The Large Hadron Collider will be turned on this Wednesday (9/10/08), with the first proton being shown down the collider.

There is no collision that will take place this Wednesday, as the start of the process will only have the machine running at 1/10 its full capacity.

Scientists are definitely on edge though, as many against turning on the Large Hadron Collider are making their voices heard.

CERN scientists have been receiving death threats, among other things.
The fear is that the collissions created by the Large Hadron Collider may create a black hole, and could result in the end of the world.

I do not think this will happen but other than being directly hit by an asteroid, CAN YOU THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO GO?

Go LHC!!!

(by the way, the title of the post can be positive or negative. No matter what, the world as we know it is probably about to change -- maybe only from a scientific perspective.)
