- Shogi, on 09/07/2008, -2/+54This is ridiculous, how many times are scientists going to have to repeat themselves that LHC will not end the world? Why is it that dozens of people with PHD's denying the danger is apparently insufficient to quell people's fears?
- dualaudi, on 09/08/2008, -2/+40Well, it's not 2012, so i'm not worried....
- eklife, on 09/07/2008, -1/+28I cant wait for the results of this wonderful thing.
- Sendai129, on 09/08/2008, -0/+27But you guyyyys, they're making black holes! I don't care that they are smaller than atoms they're still black holes that are going to eat the planet, solar system and the entire galaxy!!!
Do people not realize that even though it's a black hole... it has the same mass as just a few atoms? Since the gravitational force between individual atoms is nearly non-existent, these micro black holes will have next to no gravitational pull? And as though that wasn't enough to calm some people down, after an incomprehensibly small amount of time they are just going to evaporate anyways... and even more so.... oh you know what never mind...resume panicking.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! - cloudberries, on 09/08/2008, -1/+24Damn those gravity deniers. Let's just cut their anchor ropes and let them drift off into space
- gyberedeemer, on 09/08/2008, -0/+22Mostly because a major cable news host/Oprah/Parade Magazine hasn't taken the time to tell them it's going okay.
- sockpuppets, on 09/08/2008, -0/+20The results are in: 42.
- HeavySausage, on 09/08/2008, -0/+17Ketamine will put you in another dimension quickly. I don't know why they wasted all that cash.
- SFBWork, on 09/08/2008, -1/+18Well, if we all die in a huge ball of fire. It was nice knowing some of you guys.
- bklny, on 09/08/2008, -1/+16My name is Robert Neville. I am a survivor living in New York City. I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies. I will be at the South Street Seaport everyday at mid-day, when the sun is highest in the sky. If you are out there... if anyone is out there... I can provide food, I can provide shelter, I can provide security. If there's anybody out there... anybody... please. You are not alone. ; )
- dungar, on 09/08/2008, -0/+14i saw this in a computer game once! the experiement goes horribly wrong and strange creatures start infiltrating our world from another dimension...then a scientist with a crowbar saves the day!
- AgmLauncher, on 09/08/2008, -4/+16Because the people who don't believe them also don't believe the earth is 4 billion years old and probably don't believe in gravity either. You can't educate the ignorant.
- rheaume, on 09/08/2008, -1/+11Yes
- Bagos1, on 09/08/2008, -7/+17Are we dead yet?
- thephysicist, on 09/08/2008, -0/+10for anyone who does not know what the LHC is about or anybody who is interested in more about it
the BBC has made a good selection of info/animation
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7534847.stm - jeffkee, on 09/08/2008, -0/+8You too. It was a pleasure.
If we do die because of a blackhole, it won't be much of a ball of fire. More like being squeezed into absolutely nothing as the particles in our bodies and homes get crushed into tiny bits. - acoot, on 09/08/2008, -1/+8there will be blood
- Fartbandit, on 09/08/2008, -1/+8LHC scare stories are now so are now so common on digg that ive added them to my story filter along with the words obama and palin... :/
- hakz, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6They better not divide by zero
- Bagos1, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Ok, thank you for sharing.

well thats the plan anyway... now i just need to get over there and a cape... - urbandistrict, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Hi Robert, so much of your foretold chronicled events did not make any sense to me. Why is it that this semi-intelligent race of "vampires" did not learn basic tunneling techniques? And why on earth was there a mustang commercial interruption between the introduction of your origin and the climax of your fantastically absurd life? Not to mention human visitors...
- ezcheezbandit, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6The Aztecs were right!
In all seriousness though, the Aztecs / Mayans never predicted that the world would end. Their calendar ends on 2012, but scholars have suggested that 2012 is not "the end of the world." It's a change. A dramatic change. One speculation is that the earth's magnetic poles will flip (it happens every few thousand years) and your compass will point south.
Another speculation is that the vibrations of energy that make up our reality - the frequency at which matter vibrates will switch to a different frequency (why I don't know) and our perceptions of reality will be drastically altered.
/koolaid - urbandistrict, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6awwwwwww...... let's have a beee_________ (world ends)
- urbandistrict, on 09/08/2008, -1/+6some people tend to keep "god" on their lips despite no one even bringing it up. has nothing to do with this article and your angst is contrived.
- calebhawk, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5so is your ability to use portal quotes in a funny manner
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -1/+6Remember back when the world was going to end on Jan 1, 2000? People who keep saying the world is going to end keep things interesting for the rest of us. I think it's fine as long as everyone understands that they don't know what the hell they are talking about.
- kjubik, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5That's the problem, who listens to AM?
/yeah, am carries further than fm/ - Pusod, on 09/08/2008, -2/+7I just want to say, "I had a blast and I will miss you all. I love you guys!"
- mrwoo, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5It's like when they went to the moon, people were scared that because the moon was made of cheese it may melt when the craft landed on it.
We've got to stop worrying about things we don't understand instead trying to understand them. - Memitim, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Why bother? It obviously isn't working worth a crap anyway since he ended up finding this story and posting in the thread.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5Buried for assuming that it is stupid to think aliens exist.
It's statistically infinitismally unlikely that they *don't* exist, given the size of the universe, and the number of planets out there. - jeffkee, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Some scientists have nicknamed some particle as the God Particle, insinuating that it shows the very basic building blocks of matter and explains all existence etc. etc. Of course, it's a figure of speech in that case. Some others may misinterpret the intention, however.
- LilJimmyNordin, on 09/08/2008, -6/+101. Build Large Hadron Collider
2. Find conclusive evidence of the Higgs particle
3. Tell all members of all theistic creator-based religions all over the world to shut the ***** up once and for all
4. Profit? - jenel, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5Actually it would be pretty ***** sweet if all humanity ended on Wednesday.
- gingerboy, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Now lets build a bigger one to find the question!
- jayrodnoonan, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4You can filter specific words? How do you do it? I have the entire '08 elections filtered but I'm really only sick of Palin.
- Shogi, on 09/07/2008, -4/+7No we aren't. If you actually look up the information yourself instead of buying into sensationalist news pieces, you'd know that the chances of some world ending catastophe are astronomically remote.
- jester55, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4people are stupid
- mrwoo, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3lol i'm sure it will. 100%. I have faith in your research!
- Fartbandit, on 09/08/2008, -1/+44. Find conclusive evidence for super symmetry and extra dimensions via the discovery of both light and heavy SUSY particles since the LHC has other purposes besides finding the higgs boson....
5. Profit? - Gogogo111, on 09/07/2008, -1/+4It was sarcasm.
- bobbknight, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5I read where it will take 4years for an LHC created black hole to destroy earth.
The Incas may be right, 2012.
Oh Yes, LOL - ripple123, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4like the nuke riding cowboy from dr strangelove. YEEEHAWW
- stuffradio, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3What do you mean?
- calebhawk, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3you don't know jack...
nice guy ol' jack. - bman85, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3Do you have some sort of mental condition?
You wouldn't act like that in real life, so why on the internet? - triont, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4Stop it? Hell, that actually sounds like fun.
- tubbylardman, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5While making a run for the mexican boarder, while in a hail of gun fire, while rooting 20 woman, while saving a bunch of kids from a burning bus, while sending a nuclear bomb back to a distant alien planet to kill them instead. All while Jon Bon Jovi, "Blaze of glory", is playing in the background.
