On the front page of CNN.com was a link to an article that stated the world could end in August. This wasn’t a breaking news story, but the title of the article alone was concerning enough that I clicked on the link.
According to some critics, the power of this particle accelerator could create tiny black holes, which would settle somewhere in the Earth, expanding until the Earth, and life as we know it, is gobbled up.
Oh man! Sounds scary, right? Well, not quite.
Within the article, I concluded that there was only one stated critic by the name of Walter L. Wagner. All of the other scientists concluded that this was preposterous as the Earth is being bombarded by these same collisions every second of the day.
One scientist actually placed the chances of a cataclysmic event at 1 in 50 million, which is actually less than the chance of a cataclysmic event caused by a rogue asteroid, alien invasion, and Japanese television.
Way to go CNN…
