Black holes can be such a drag.

I wonder if those magnets are strong enough to start affecting the iron atoms in hemoglobin if you were inside that one??

There are folks on the web who believe this thing is going to do permanent, serious harm to Europe.

I don’t have a good feeling about all this. Apparently this collisions very rarely occur in nature (100.000 times since earth exists). Somewhere I read it’s not even clear they occur at all. They don’t know what will happen after the collision - might be a small black hole or “freak matter”.
I’m thinking of “event horizon” and this other movie where only the people on earth survived such an experiment who died in the exact same moment it got switched on.
I know this sounds ignorant. Just a gut feeling. There are billions of black holes out there but apparently no other life...

We would have been well past this point in scientific discovery had Bubba Clinton not cancelled the SuperConducting Super Collider in Texas after he got elected.
Bill the Rapist apparently did it for political reasons only because Queen Ann offered to buy the SCSC from the Feds and Texas would complete its construction and operate it, but Bill refused.
So, tell me again why leftists think Bill the rapist was a great president??

While the Europeans build the Large Hadron Collider, and the Chinese are industrializing at the fastest rate in world history, American schoolchildren are being taught that the world was created 6000 years ago.
America is quickly losing its technological and scientific edge and it's apparent to anyone why that is. American students can't even get into American graduate schools.

I’ll readily admit that I don’t know much about the science behind this... It’s the one area of academia I can’t wrap my brain around, honestly. However, I do know that my cousin - a former particle beam accelerator operator at Fermi - is probably salivating at these pictures!!! LOL
That is one HECK of a machine! I certainly hope they know what they’re doing... I happen to like our planet, and living of course!

AP - The location of the first presidential debate has been changed to the Large Hadron Collider. McCain and Obama will be accelerated in opposite directions and collide. Scientists doubt if any wisdom particles will result.
