Don't worry, be happy

dandywalker with a complete nerve just casually, on a whim like, mentioned that that Large Hadron Collider thingy will be activated tomorrow. "OK," I said, "I'm just nipping upstairs to, er, get a, erm, a pair of socks. Yeah. Socks."

Or come to my journal and spread my fears like fucking wildfire.

Thing is, they say this could be the most intensely exciting scientific event to happen in recent times. But, if like me you're a worrier, a panicker, a-bordering-on-OCD-level Olympic-grade paranoiac or, now too, a reluctant alarmist, you'll be hiding behind the biggest, sturdiest, lead-lined, industrial-strengthened, but cleanest, sofa in existence. With a bottle of pills, a crate of Glenfiddich and a shotgun.

In reality I'm FREAKED OUTTA MY FUCKING WITS fine, just fine, and intrigued to the nth degree. Yes, I may be in bits, but I'm also curious as to these two "possible outcomes", reported here.

"Some critics say the experiment will create 'black holes' of intense gravity that could implode the Earth..."

OhmyfuckinggodRUN!............ but, erm, where?

"...or that it will open the way for beings from another universe to invade through a 'worm hole' in space-time."

Ey. Hell yeah. Wicked. In that case I'll definitely take it.

But really, Stephen Hawking is a genius. I saw a documentary earlier in the year in which he discussed all this. And if he's cool about it, then, man, I'm cool.

Yes. I'm... fine.

(and I swear I had no clue when I posted this film on thedailymovie today?)
