Hmmm

It is just gone three in the morning and I am feeling philosophical.

And this is over the whole debate about the LHC of CERN being turned on next week and bringing about the apocalypse, btw, as it is playing on my mind......as impending doom does.

So say we all do get sucked under Switzerland next wednesday; our bodies would be stretched out of all proprtions to the point we can no longer breath, then we would be compressed into the dense and growing black hole. Would it be so bad? I mean yeah. It would be painful to a point I assume, and probably very scary too, but after that...nothing. No worries, no thinking about money or love or security, and no poverty or suffering. Death is something that is going to happen eventually to us all anyway, so why not just finish the earth off now. Kill everyone before they are able to make more people who are just going to die in the end. Or stop millions from having no quality of life at all in a mental asylum, nursing home or third world country.

The earth and mankind are amazing and wonderful and all that, but at the end of all things, nothing matters. Existence of everything has to end at some point, and as a race we aren't likely to survive that long in the grand scheme of things anyway. We will be a mere blip in the history of the earth and even more insignificant in the history of the universe.

Plus the delicious irony of our insatiable curiosity killing us is too great. It's a shame we wouldn't be around to appreciate it afterwards.

Maybe that's how the Big Bang started off in the first place. And the natural progression is to get to this point and then we get too intelligent and just destroy everything we discovered and learnt and it just starts all over again. And in another billion kajillion years a new race of people will get to the point where they say, "you know what would be a really great idea? Recreating the moment after the Big Bang in a huge underground machine!"
