Evans the Atom

Ha ha! The article talks about the earth being eaten from the inside by a black hole or some kind of quasar! Or possibly being blown up in a runaway "strangelet" supernova!

And then it says:

But Dr Evans, the leader of the project, who has devoted 14 years of his life to building the vast particle accelerator, is dismissive of the doom-mongers.

In fact, he is so relaxed about the project, he even wears shorts to work.

Ha ha! What would he wear if he were worried, his lead-lined underpants?

Live webcam's:

Damnit, does this mean we have to wait another 4 years to noid out over nothing? Someone has to have an end of the world scare more short term. BTW people on another forum thought the name of the thing was the large hardon collider. I didn't have the heart to tell them, that was just to fucking funny.

Many scientists believe the "Big Bang" was the result of a "large hardon" colliding with a "black hole."

Err! I think it might have been Hadron, but hey, your version would have been more interesting when some alien intelligence got round to writing the history of earth's destruction LOL.

I'm sure alot of you will consider me 'nuts' or foolish, but I believe our 'evolutionary clock' is at about 11:48 pm.

To 'evolve' is to essentially be born, live/grow, die and repeat. Humanity can only survive in the most delicate environments, a niche if you will. Isnt THAT amazing enough?

It's funny how curiosity killed the cat...and THAT mofo had nine lives! ;)

You don't ask the questions you aren't ever going to find the answers.. :thumbsup:
