So how about that new Super Collider? Of course, when they power it up someone will be accidentally locked inside and come out with super powers. That's inevitable...

There'll be a few beer bottles inside probably.

Supercollider? I hardly know her!
...
Heard it before xkcd.
Apparently, when they collide the nuclei, they'll (hopefully) be able to find out how gravity works.
Moon Boots are so last century. Grav-Boots are all the rage now.

I'd like to read some of the published literature about what they hope to discover and how the machine works. Of course, were I able to actually read some of their works, I'd have to read stacks of related and supplemental papers; particle physics is so bizarre... There's a reason I study biology.
In any case, the worst thing about the possibility of creating black holes is that apocalypse will happen so fast that no-one will have time to scream, "Dear God, our hubris knows no bounds!" before dying.
@Chris: I rather gathered that this was part of their intentions...

It's funny how a bunch of people were worried that the world was going to end when they turned this thing on and smashed some particles together... those people are now saying "Ok cool, I guess we all didn't die."
...but they didn't actually do any particle smashing yet.

We might all be dead. You may all have been forced into another universe for some reason, and only remember No-one died because you forgot what really happened (i.e. it was done yesterday). I might be a parallel Pieman. Or perpendicular. You choose.

Maybe you did, but it was the only thing that got sucked into the black hole, and it appeared in a dream you were having 2 years ago, which you forgot, but retained subconsciously, then wrote down the next day.

To the best of my limited understanding, time is just the relative position to everything else; therefore, time travel SHOULD be impossible, as being in a different place than you were/should be would by definition be a different time. Additionally, it seems like time travel should violate conservation of energy.

I believe somewhere in internet land this conversation took place.
Stan: Did you hear about the Large Hadron Collider?
Bill: LOLWUT? R u gay?
Stan: I said Hadron. HADRON!
I believe the internet is that stupid sometimes.

The fact that the scientists creating it decided to name a giant machine that may serve to help rewrite our definitions of the universe and physics the Large Hadron Collider always reminds me of this:  |
