on Sep 10th, 2008The end of time
The Large Hadron Collider is not gonna kill us all. At least for now and the next weeks. The last night was the very first time of my life I seriously considered the possibility of a sudden collapse of our world. And I have to say that it’s a bit disturbing. But today’s experiment was nothing more than a little warming round. The real threat (if it exists) will be in the next weeks. 
Indeed, I do not know enough about physics and science to correctly estimate the risks with this experiment; but nevertheless, I think that a problem could be possible, since even if it is not the very first experiment of this kind, it’s the first one which will be that important, with that-near-to-light-speed speeds.
By the way, if Swiss aren’t so dangerous, we will stay alive longer. 
And there is some nice photographs of the LHC on the official website. And, if you like jokes, I found a nice music clip about the LHC.
