I read the cracked.com article last week about this :)


I love that they point out that the scientists who are running the LHC, when confronted with the question of "what about the possibility of destroying all life as we know it?" their response was essentially "We wont know until we switch it on. Duh."

And to answer MD: they are eggheads. For many of them, they want to know, that is it. Although, if they do make some major and practical breakthroughs in quantum science, and learn how to make it useful to us, you can throw all the rules that govern society out the window, because the quatum world doesnt beleieve in them. It opens the possibilty of dimensional travel, teleportation and things like that.

Just remember, if a portal is opened, and you runout of gas, JUST WAIT A FEW FUCKING MINUTES. Godamn... 4 bullets kills monsters. Granted, old people and a kid in a car make easier targets....
