Two men pursuing a lawsuit in a court in Hawaii, think a giant particle accelerator that will begin smashing protons together outside Geneva this summer might produce a black hole that will spell the end of the Earth – and maybe the universe. (via Herald Tribune)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. (via Wikipedia)

According to the CERN press release, they announced that the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made on September 10th. You can follow the progress via live webcast here.

What does GOD think about this? I asked him myself. Here’s the short conversation.

George Man: daca ne inghite o gaura neagra?
George Man: iesim dezbracati pe drum?
GOD: GOD SAYS THAT THE WORLD SHALL NOT END!

Hope you are all relieved now, enjoy the webcast. ;)

LATER EDIT: My power is out, I’m writing on my notebook, battery won’t hold long. See you all on the other side!
