We’re all dead, or so would some of the press and scientists would have us all believe when a giant collection of metal donuts begin operating over on the European mainland on Wednesday, the day where hopefully other things will be happening which are less dangerous like farting in a lift, and people bungee jumping without a bungee rope.
Forget the terrorists, Americans, tubs of lard and clowns destroying us all and wiping us all from existence, it’s now nuclear physicists now who are the enemy. Soon they will switch on the Large Hadron Collider, which basically will send tiny bits of matter smashing against each other and then they see what happens.
It has cost billions of Euros, taken since 1994 to get to this point and the whole thing has been about seeing what happened just after the big bang with extra parts for anti-matter and dark matter thrown in for good measure.
One problem with this grand enterprise is that there are concerns that the machine will create forces which could destroy the earth and possibly the entire universe when it gets going.
Read that sentence again and just allow a few moments for it to sink in.
Destroy the entire universe.
