The world is ending in 2 days.

10 Sept 2008

What a date.

Why?

Because of this:





What is this?

This is the Large Hadron Collider.


How does it end the world you might ask?

But to fucking summarize:


The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator complex.

When activated, it is theorized that the collider will produce the elusive Higgs boson, 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. The verification of the existence of the Higgs boson would be a significant step in the search for a Grand Unified Theory, which seeks to unify three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out only gravity. The Higgs boson may also help to explain why gravitation is so weak compared to the other three forces. In addition to the Higgs boson, other theorized particles, models and states might be produced, and for some searches are planned, including supersymmetric particles, compositeness (technicolor), extra dimensions, strangelets, micro black holes and magnetic monopoles.

Imagine if all the theories came true, especially the one in red. This could be the end of Earth as we know it. Even if that doesn't happen, we still got about 4 more years till Dec 21, 2012 - that is a story for another day. Read this though, http://www.december212012.com/
