Oh, by the way, they fired up the Large Hadron Collider over there in Switzerfrance this morning, and the world didn’t end! CERN Press Release – First beam in the LHC.

This was just a quick test, to show that the particle beams can be focused, shot around that 17-mile wheel of karma, and smashed into each other head-on at 99.9% light speed. We could still see the formation of a super-massive tiny black hole that would suck in the entire Milky Way galaxy in one cataclysmic nanosecond, next time they fire it up.

So we have that to look forward to.
