Doomsday!!!

CERN has finally announced that the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made on 10 September.

Anyone who has read angels and demons will probably remember the LHC... it is that big big machine that is in the breaking news right now.... it is also the reason for the post....
before i go on further.. i'll give you an idea of wht the LHC is meant to do... no.. i wont write it... why should i? when wiki has sone it for me? its CtrlC-CtrlV all the way....

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelorator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model,the current theoretical picture for particle physics. The LHC was built by the European Organisatin for Nuclear Research(CERN huh?), and lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. Basically it will create a collision b/w particles in order to find out if smaller particles exist... these smaller particles might be antimatter... which you can look up.. i'm not going into tht now...

anyway.... when matter meets antimatter they both vanish and produce energy... (anyone remm e=mc2?) anyway... so this monster of a machine is going to be fired up tomm..
but news ppl in india (and also abroad if the internet is any indication...) are already fired up abt there being a possible doomsday tomm... they seem to think that this thing is going to misfire and tht the earth is going to open up and swallow us all and will become a blackhole.... india tv has gone to the extent of saying tht a "mahadanav" is going to come out of the earth as it tears open and swallow us all..... what a load of shit....

{a} i think 1800 scientists who are working on this wouldve thot of every possibility of how things could go wrong taken care of things...

{b} even if some unforseen calamity happens, why would you want to predict it and scare ppl now? if wht you're saying is true then arent we all dying tomm? then whts to fear? does it make any difference? no.... so stop...

anyway.... if i dont die tomm... see you next post...
Ciao!
