“Exactly how improbable does a cataclysm have to be to warrant proceeding with an experiment?” - Dr. Adrian Kent
How many serious, in-your-face doom scenarios are we going to have to endure? I don't know how much theoretical research has been done in this particular branch of psychics, but I would vote for much, much more before CERN(Large Hadron Collider, or LHC) goes back online. This experiment could be the zero point for humanity's understanding of psychics and the beginning of an amazing new world, or, we could get sucked into a black hole of our own design, ultimately swallowing the entire planet. Now that, my friends, is a serious coin toss.
I'm not sure what freaks me out the most:
These passages from a Scientist involved with the project ("Last September, Dr. Fabiola Giannotti, the lead scientist working on the Atlas facility (one of six collision detectors at LHC), said (with an observed degree of uncertainty in her voice, according to an Italian reporter for Corriere), 'Do not be afraid of [the LHC]. Our super-accelerators are not going to destroy the Earth. The LHC is going to be the place and the moment where and when we will decide about the future [direction] of particle physics.' -and-Dr. Giannotti said in response, 'It is a ridiculous fear because [collisions like those at the LHC] occur spontaneously every second in nature thanks to cosmic rays from space. Such collisions release energy billions of times higher than those we obtain [at the LHC]. And even if we can generate black holes as a theory suggests, they would be microscopic and evaporate in a fraction of a second.'), the response to the last quote (Sound a little like “famous last words”? I hope not!),
or that it's already malfunctioned before.
