If you haven't read my post "Year Zero" please do so now. For those that have you might find it interesting to know that the folks at CERN have been slapped with a lawsuit. Apparently some people in Hawaii believe that if the Hadron collider due to start operations in July is turned on it can create a black hole or other strange particles. In theory one or both of these things can start to devour all matter and pretty much eat the earth. Also in theory there is Hawking radiation that sort of keeps these things in check. Either way it brings to light my original assumption that scientists love to play with things that they don't understand. Thats the whole basis of science, to find things out. But that definitely does not mean that just because we can that we should. You can read more about the lawsuit here.

I think that of all the ways there are to die in this world, being sucked into a black hole along with everything else on the planet has got to be the coolest.
That or possibly the earth being changed molecularly by renegade nano bots into a huge blog of green goo!
