So the Large Hadron Collider went online today at CERN, and since the world was not destroyed, we can safely assume the doom-mongers were wrong, and it's not really going to cause the world to be destroyed. Then again, it's going to be several weeks before it's fully up to speed, so it's not over yet.
And then there are the plan to upgrade it at some point in the future to the "Super LHC", so you know.
Apparently, not everyone was informed of the fact that the doomsday predictions made were total crap, and the Indian media even made some big predictions of they're own, even to the extent of causing suicides. Which is a worrying state of affairs. I mean, everyone has a particle accelerator in their own homes these days in the form of a microwave, or a old one of those bulky TV's. You don't see people screaming about how your TV could cause a mini black hole and destroy the world.
