Today the first protons were injected into the 27-kilometre tunnel way below the Earth's surface. Large Hadron Collider started it's work today (if they already didn't in August)..
Will the rumors eventually become the truth? In the worst case scenario, we'll all live for at least ten years. After that, every year is a bonus. You'll have plenty of time to raise a kid, so let's do it today (only low birthrate countries please)! We'll destroy the planet sooner or later anyway so why not in the name of science rather than Russia bombing us to protons anyway?
They should make a movie, with Morgan Freeman doing the credit voiceover: "September 10th, 2008, The Collider was started and slowly and surely the end of days of life on Earth became nearer." The movie should -of course- be called "Armageddon 2" or "The Collider". And If I could choose, I'd name Gillian Anderson as the main scientist, Sigourney Weaver and Harold Ramis as the warning scientists, Tony Shalhoub as the hero dad, Gary Oldman as the other hero dad (and they'd fight over Tony's daughter and Gary's son dating), Megan Fox as the Daughter, Charlie Cox as the son.. The movie would basically be about the love story of a couple in their late teens and the last minutes before the end would start. There would be gunfights, BOINC network calculating how to stop it, scientist fighting, world peace. No riots because everyone would be too afraid, changing weather. Basically, you could put every destroy-the-earth-you-stupid-humans -movie plot in one. Imagine the amount of CGI! Imagine the scientists all over the world stating against the movie.. and the freaky cults... And everyone would go see it! Genious, am I?
