Of course all of this stuff is highly unlikely (to put it mildly), but if you want to read a cool science fiction story along these exact lines, check out Einstein's Bridge by John Cramer.

I'd attribute the greatest risk to nanobots. They seem to have the greatest potential for being weaponized.
Everything else there is more like a 1-in-10^40 chance, or something around that. You might as well wait around for every subatomic particle in the planet to simultaneously decay. It's possible, just not very likely.

Best web site on the web.
S. Peter Davis is a genius.
"As you've probably worked out by now, there's some weird shit out there in the world of science. That's because a whole lot of the fundamental theories about reality are based on mathematical equations rather than actual observation. So there are all sorts of things out there that seem to exist in theory, but we've never seen them. At least one scientist has suggested that if we ever saw them with our own eyes, it's likely that we would start screaming and never stop. Well, it wasn't so much a scientists as HP Lovecraft."
LAWL!

I remember reading Cracked magazine as a kid, I've been glad to see their articles recently showing that they grew up along with me :thumbsup:

Make sure you have a crowbar, as well. Or a FUBAR, which would adequately describe your situation if you manage to initiate a resonance cascade.
Some of the fears surrounding the LHC bring to mind some of the concerns people had about early fission technology. Weren't some people afraid that the entire atmosphere would be ignited by the detonation of an atomic bomb?

Not if the EMP is a nanobot.
