Great news everyone! That gigantic super collider outside of Geneva that was going to create a black hole that would swallow the earth and and then the whole universe and all the little children has been pronounced safe! "A new particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider scheduled to go into operation this fall outside Geneva, is no threat to the Earth or the universe, according to a new safety review approved Friday by the governing council of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or Cern, which is building the collider.'There is no basis for any concerns about the consequences of new particles or forms of matter that could possibly be produced by the LHC,' five physicists who comprised the safety assessment group wrote in their report. Whatever the collider will do, they said, Nature has already done many times over."
