Yup. This is the second time I've made a nerdy reference to the Large Hadron Collider; the world's most powerful atom-smasher. It's that thing that sits *under* the French-Swiss border. Buried 330 feet underground and 17 miles in circumference, it could potentially create extra dimensions and/or destroy the planet. The science geek in me cannot wait until that big (hopefully red) button gets pushed this August. Until then, here are my three theories on the 'matter'.
1. Everything will go fine. We'll make amazing, life-altering discoveries.
2. The aforementioned, plus Jerry Bruckheimer will have a great new script idea.
3. It will indeed create a black hole that will swallow earth in the blink of an eye; ending everything.
Either way, I'm thinking about throwing an Atom-Smasher's Eve party. One last hurrah, just in case things go awry. Oh, but what an exciting way to go... POOF! Who's bringing the snacks?
More on the lawsuit to prevent the startup of the Collider in August.
