I for one welcome our new black hole destroyer

[browngirl]

A useful link from several places on my F-list: has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the Earth yet? Keep checking at regular intervals to be certain!

Incidentally, if the LHC does destroy the Earth, here is a description of how that will happen. Read into the comments for some estimates of how long the process might take.

micheinnz has posted so many other useful links about the LHC that instead of cribbing her list I'll just refer you to her here, here, and here. And telynor linked to the Large Hadron Rap.

However, they haven't collided beams yet, and they are operating at energies right now that have already been achieved at other colliders.

Awww, why should a few details like scientific accuracy get in the way of an invigorating disaster scenario?
