Tomorrow will dawn a big day in the scientific community, let alone the world in general, when the switch is thrown to the massive Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator which will collide beams of protons. Once that happens one of two things will happen…
1. Science FTW! Scientists finally discover the ever elusive “God Particle”, which is the only elementary particle that has never been observed by science, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model of physics and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.
2. We’re Doomed! The high-energy particle collisions performed might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles. Kiss your ass goodbye!
So, if you’re an optimist you can actually watch the LHC start up in real time via the CERN video broadcast. If your a doomsayer, well I guess you can hunker down and keep an eye on things at the Has The Large Hardon Collider Destroyed The Earth Yet? site.
Either way we here at Zombie Monkey Projects will be cracking open a fine bottle of booze to salute science… or curse it.
