Just seen an interesting quote from Brian Cox on the subject:
"Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."

Just to prove him wrong, I almost hope it will kill us all.
Almost. But not quite.

That's awesome. Not like there would be anyone around to tell him "I told you so".
Quote: Afinkawan @ September 9 2008, 12:10 PM BSTA strangelet is another particle which is just as theoretical as the Higgs Boson but more scary than the thought of a black hole. Rather than evaporating, a strangelet (if they exist) would turn pretty much everything it touches into the same strange matter, which would also destroy the Earth pretty effectively.
Oh, well thanks for giving us something else to worry about. Thanks A LOT.

It's a trade-off, Johnny Depp for Audrey Hepburn.
I was going to say thaaaat!
Not to be outdone by the French the British are also 'doing a CERN' - they are sucking up particles using a Dustbuster in the black hole that is every teenagers bedroom.

TRUFAX.
Equally interesting true fact is that the first page the inventor viewed was porn. But before he got caught literally with his pants down, the phone rang and bumped his modem off the Net.
Re: Afinkawan's points - that light behaves either as a particle with mass or a massless wave depending on the observer's expectations is basically a concept that sheds both light and confusion (so typically quantum in that respect) on the nature of reality.
I'm going to have a big wank before I go to sleep just in case.

Hope that went well for you.
Everyone still alive?
No I'm afriad I'm quite dead.
I'm listening to the live coverage on BBC Radio 4. They seemed to have cocked it up the first time around, but nothing major.
\0/ Hurray. We're still here!
So far...
Bye everyone!
Watching this on BBC News. They all seem rather happy.
Off to work..... 
The universe better not end while I'm there.
^^^^Hope you've recovered from your burthday celebrations Ruby.
