    Guess we'll see what happens pretty soon.

    The chances seem small for catastrophe, but you can never tell with these things.

    Geez! It's only a few hours away. It sucks that I'll be working while the world ends. I would rather be doing a lot more stuff than being at work, since I am working 2nd shift tonight.

    Anyways, I am acually looking forward to being sucked into a black hole. It is my own belief that if we ever get sucked into a black hole, we'll simply come out of the other side. And what is the other side? It is another / parallel universe. See you on the other side then.

    Phew, we made it.

    Actually, reading the Chron article about it says that they didn't "collide" anything. It was a uni-directional test. The end of the world comes when they run protons in both directions to make a collision.

    btw, did anybody post the CERN rap video? Funny, sad, and informative.

    Unfortunately, you still wouldn't come out the other side intact. You'd be ripped apart by tidal forces first.

    I'm pretty sure they mean 10^-12 atmospheres.
