The coolest place in the universe.

The Large Hadron Collider or LHC will begin smashing protons at near light-speed September 10, to either answer a bunch of important physics questions or to end the existence of our universe. Either way, its kinda cool.

1.9 degrees above absolute zero, colder than space!

END OF THE UNIVERSE!! YEAH!

Shit, the world is gonna end in September? I've been waiting for Fallout 3 to come out pretty much since Fallout 2 and they finally get around to making a new one that looks even better than the old ones and the world is gonna end one month before it hits shelves?

Why does this shit always happen to me? I wanna play a game about the end of the world, not experience it!

I'm not quite sure where all the end of the world parts of this came about. Unless they create some kung fu action Jesus particle, there simply isn't enough energy caused by the annihilation of the collision of such a small amount of matter/anti-matter. If they do, I'm going to blame it on the particle went on the French side and wanted to kill itself.

Yeah I know, I don't know about an actual result that will do anything spectacularly massive, but I'm worried more about the consequences of whatever they do discover from these things if anything is discovered at all...then a ton of money is wasted down the drain. But science has a habit of not initially trying to create something bad, but the thing being in the future warped to a bad purpose, or having very gradual slow negative effects. It doesn't seem like they don't know what they're talking about too much and antimatter has been collided with matter in the past before. It is such an infitisemely small amount and it would take millions of billions of years to even produce a large enough amount to do any significant damage. I'm not saying this experiment shouldn't be absolutely monitored and kept under as best scrutiny and safety measures at all costs, yet its pretty unlikely anything should happen. It likely in my belief isn't going to result in anything much except some scientific thing that will only be understood or cared
