World Going To End On Saturday...

Question

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland is due to be switched on, on Saturday some people have said that it could destroy the earth but scientists are saying that this is impossible.

The scientists are saying that it is a 1 in 50 million chance that the world will end.

What are your views?

Answer 1

Yeah im going with the odds, it was the scientists that built it so they should know and if i was a scientist and that was going to happen id be miles away from it.

1 in 50million chance of that happening, thats the sam chance you have of winning winning most lottery's

EDIT: The world was supposed to end in 1999, 2000, 2003, 2006 and its supposed to end in 2012, so thats probably how likely it is aswell that its going to happen.

Answer 2

Well I have a fancy dress party and I am going as a cow so I bloody hope not, can they not wait until Sunday when everyone will be in bed?

Answer 3

never heard of it!!!

Answer 4

considering it is only 1 in 14 million to win the lottery, and someone does that almost every week..... I'd say we are in trouble.

Look at some of the odds on the universe and things, normally 1 in 100 billion etc. and this is only 1 in 50 million, I am officially worried

Answer 5

I think it's kinda annoying they are taking any chance like that.

Oh well.  We all have to go sometime.

Answer 6

Well Nooo it dint end lol

Answer 7

I'd spent nearly 5 years being a Jehovah's Witness and believing that the world was gonna end any time soon.

I don't really care anymore.

Answer 8

Eh.

Answer 9

What!

Answer 10

I read it would create mini black holes which would eventually engulf the earth in 50 years time....

Answer 11

First things first:

The chances of obtaining a Hadron as a result of the collision between sub-atomic particles is only a theory. If its true then it will somehow give validity to the string theory. Am not going to talk about string theory postulates, that's another twenty dollar bill.

Lets say that we (mankind) gets two sub-atomic (freakishly small) particles at (freakishly high speed) to collide. Even if that happens there is no certainty that it will achieve a Hadron and if it does it "may" create a tiny black hole. Based on Stephen Hawking's calculation, this mini black hole will evaporate by it self in a matter of nano-seconds.

I am not buying the end of the world by saturday "mumbo-jumbo" anyways I don't give a tiny rat's @ss because my girlfriend just dumped me last night.  

Answer 12

thats hot

Answer 13

*Mass mercy killing by Almighty !!!!!!!!

Never ever possible.

God have created a such a great communities which can't be destroyed simultaneously.

We will meet  you on Sunday morning.

*The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator complex intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons.

Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. This model is known to break down at a certain high energy level.

If any operational miscued can damage greatly to the human being.

This particle accelerator is due for shoot up but is it so?

Answer 14

Still booking a table at the local Indian on Sunday night

Answer 15

i hope not because that would be freaky and how could it go wrong and what does it do

Answer 16

i like my odds

Answer 17

great cant wait

Answer 18

Wouldn't surprise me, booked next week off work. Sounds about bloody right dunnit!!!

Answer 19

oh my god , where's my " to do list " .

Answer 20

It hadn't better!  I've booked for us to go to Edinburgh by coach to see the Military Tattoo and I'd hate to miss it.

Answer 21

I would prefer it to be monday morning

Answer 22

those odds are small,

why switch it on, even if the odds were 1 in 100 millllion,

why take the risk for a stupid experiment.

Answer 23

They said the same thing about the particle accelerator at Fermi Lab outside Chicago, and we are still here.

With those odds, maybe there is a line in vegas?

Answer 24

It is not fully functional on Saturday, so i think we are quite safe.

But as no one really knows the outcome when it is fully functional so we have a bit more time as yet  

Answer 25

That the world is not going to end on Saturday. If i'm right u should really give me the 10 points as it would of been the best answer

Answer 26

if the world ends then so be it. we wont know about it anyway

Answer 27

Glad you told me, there is a few women I must see before Saturday then
