She wouldn't be the first school girl to swoon over the thought of a big bang from a massive Hadron.

I hope the authorities are investigating this as a possible murder. Ridding the family of girls is a time honored Indian tradition.

I bet they'll fine the Hardons particles at the scene!

My only hope is that we see similar reports coming out of Kansas, as well as large sections of Texas....

We were talking about the big bang experiment today in my college english class... that is sort of ironic. I think it is fascinating though. If it were to create a black hole (which it very well might) it'd be so small that it wouldn't cause any harm anyway.

*facepalm*

I'm not sure if that's more facepalm than Casiotech's quote though. ATOT, what do you think?

RedSquirrel trumps Casio on this one. No doubt about it.

So baby black holes might be the new pet rock craze? Now I see why they spent 3.8 billion to make it. The profit from pet baby black holes in a vacuum canister might be in the 100s of billions!

So you kill yourself to keep from dying ?
That is about as bad as jumping out of a crashing airplane to keep from suffering the impact.

Yea, so intelligent belittling people who believe in God. We obviously somehow mutated out of nothingness.

Simplicity begets complexity. We did not mutate out of nothingness.

LOL at the article

They dismissed as "pure fiction" doomsday predictions that the experiment could create anti-matter

The LHC can and will produce tons of antimatter, as do all particle accelerators! No one was ever concerned about that :p Way to go journalist

If only the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) didn't have its budget cut... it was going to be located in Texas! We would have had retards killing themselves in droves!
