Earlier on in the life of the noggins and over the years, I've posted signs of the apocalypse. This time, there's a pretty good chance of the world pretty much ending. So says critics of the "Big Bang" experiment that is starting this week.
I dont know much about the actual science of it but its a big crazy machine thats gonna try to recreate the Big Bang. In a lab. Some think that it's gonna open a portal to another dimension. I've seen Hellraiser and Event Horizon, I hope it doesnt. Some think it will open a black hole. That can't be good either. If you dont know what the Big Bang is, I wont judge you, just please vote for Obama and everything will be ok.
Once it starts up on Wednesday, scientists plan to smash particle beams together at close to the speed of light inside CERN's tightly-sealed Large Hadron Collider to create multiple mini-versions of the primeval Big Bang. Reuters
My local news did a blurb on this this morning. They showed the machine in the lab but was careful to not say "black hole" once. But while they were talking about the scientific benefits there was a CG animation of the earth getting sucked into itsself. I thought that was pretty funny.
UPDATE: i found the video!
Maybe it will be like the History Erase Button seen in this classic Ren & Stimpy episode?
