End of the world?....more like the end of sane human logic.

                                                                                                

Funny, how people are ultra paranoid about things that they do not fully understand.There were predictions of "the world coming to an end on september 10th" and so on, due to the fact that LHC was being fired up all the way in Geneva.

But truth be told, even if they were right that a "black hole formed by the collision of protons would suck the universe in", there was no scheduled smashing of protons that was sheduled to occur on this day, only the revolving the protons 11000 times on the circumference as seen on CERN's site.

Surely, this could not create a black hole? Protons are accelerated to such 

speeds all the time in the nature,and we donot see any anomalities in space and time.
Even when they will be smashed into each other, in 2-3 month time,

 at the most a infinitisimally small "black hole" will be formed around the 

region of the collision due to the high energies involved, but then again 

protons are extremely 

minute, weighing 1.6726*10^-27 kg.

This would mean that any region formed would break down 

in almost no time.
However seems like the media had got something to blabber about 

due to this, for 

example a
news channel that was blatantly posting an item as "breaking news" 

that "world will end

tomorrow", and that too they got their dates wrong...

While some people oppse the creation of this facility,saying that 

it is a waste of taxpayer money,

In reality, if the scientists are able to find anything that tells us 

about the fundamental particles

in space, which would explain so many other things like whether 

there are dimentions above us,

and the very nature of mass itself, thanks to the fabled higgs

boson in the higgs field.
