Nobody knows. Theories range from the matter being transferred to a mirror universe, to the matter reaching a maximum density, then exploding back out. It is impossible to tell at this point, because you cannot get information back out of a singularity.

This time in the history of the universe is extremely exciting. Just in this century alone, we have revolutionized the entire scope of our existence, mutiple times. I can't even imagine what will happen in my lifetime. I wish I was somehow involved with the research for some of this stuff... I doubt I have what it takes to be a PHD student in astro physics. :)

It is my understanding that this was Steven Hawking's insight...that energry is not lost to us when it falls into a black hole...energy ir serurned in the form of 'hawking radiation' which is random radiation created by a virtual particle pair being broken up, one side forming inside the event horizon of the black hole, the other outside. Thus, energry is conserved. At least, that's how I understand it.

This was roughly when John Titor predicted they would do it, and the microsingularities are critical to his time machine. This is in fact covered in the March issue of Hustler, so you can claim you read it for the articles ;)

I wonder what the CERN scientists did the rest of that day... Analyze the results or park their butts in front of the TV like the rest of the world appears to have done.

And re: John Titor. This isn't the year of my rising. Titor is an idiot.
