Ya know, it's better than CERN deciding to release tons of antimatter and literally vaporizing the planet.

BTW, they do have antimatter at CERN now. Have had it for years.

we are still here =)

Hmmm, I could have swore I read that September 10th was the actual turn on date!!! Not August 10th. I guess that if they turn it on and we all get sucked into a small black hole that has grown big enought o suck the enter Earth into it then we have no worries about building or upgrading computers for the games that were expected to be released.

I had heard a few years back that they did already have anti matter and it cost so much to make that it isn't a feasible fuel alternative yet. It was like 1 billion dollars or more to make just a gram(might have been an ounce?) of anti matter. But if you think about it, Star Trek here we come. Now if somebody can just come up with transporter devices, lol.

Isn't the Hydron Accelerator underneath tons of earth and rock?

Fuel for the fire, woooo~

I'm sure they have safety measures in place. I mean, the worlds smartest people are over there in Switzerland.

Besides, they invented the Internet. What could go wrong?

**msdz** · 08-11-2008, 05:55 PM

HA, that is all I can really say about the "what could go wrong" idea. If by chance they created one of the small balck holes they claim they will be able to make and it does not dissipate after a few moments as they claim then it will try to suck in any item it can within reach, possibly growing bigger and bigger till..."oops, what happened to the Earth" is the last thing we may hear. I may have read wrong but I thought it said it was 25 miles long, if the hole machine is 25 miles long then damn, that is a huge explosion if all this power is wrapped up in it. There goes Europe, glad I live in the USA but then again if there goes Europe what happens when the tidal wave hits the mountains I am hoping will protect me? Maybe it will only be a small splash for me?!?!

But I ain't worried right now, they will flip the switch and the the switch will most likely burn out and they will take another year to figure that one out and then another billion dollars or so to buy another one and the local hardware store sells them for only a $2.99, lol.

Duke Nukem Forever: Thanks to time dilation in a black hole, it really is forever.

**Mech__Warrior** · 08-11-2008, 06:40 PM

To think, they started making it in 2001.....

So doesn't that mean we don't get ripped apart until October 21st?

**Mech__Warrior** · 08-12-2008, 12:51 AM

Geez, they're stressing us out here!

**Ferris Bueller** · 08-12-2008, 02:43 AM

Whos getting stressed out? If i'm going to inevitably be ripped apart molecule by molecule as the world collapses into a black hole, I'm not going to fret about it.

**Bamboo** · 08-12-2008, 01:35 PM

Crap, there better not be a tidal wave after the explosion. I live at sea level on the coast of North Carolina.

That would kind of suck.

**zidane** · 08-12-2008, 06:02 PM

better said that the world ends on october 21 2008 have sex, don't do your homework
