End of the World From Large Hadron Collider Is Temporarily Postponed Due to Transformer Break!
Here’s the Good news and the Bad news About the possible end of the world from Black Holes from the Hadron Large Collider. The Good news is the possible End of the World has been Postponed due to a malfunctioning of a 30-ton transformer that cools the world’s largest particle collider,forcing physicists to stop using the atom smasher just a day after launching it to great fanfare, the European Organization for Nuclear Research said Thursday. Why this wasn’t announced immediately I don’t understand why, perhaps out of deference to September 11. The bad news is, if something on the experiment malfunctioned, what’s to prevent another malfunctioning or screw up by these scientists from causing the end of the world? Be afraid, be very afraid!

You have to be a real idiot to worry about a black hole forming. First, THINK about what a black hole is. It’s an object with sufficient mass as to restrict ANYTHING from escaping it’s surface, including light. Now, check out the first part “…sufficient mass…” Nothing the LHC can do can produce more mass than is already there, thus it’s quite impossible that it could produce a black hole, unless some one has an idea how to produce something like 6 times the mass of our sun instantly inside the HLC while not damaging it until the formation is complete.
Doomsday idiots need a better idea than this one.
