Sure that's troubling enough, but here's the beautiful part: They're turning it on tomorrow. Yeah, and Gordon Freeman is there, so there's absolutely no way it's going to go well. We just want to be the first to say: We called it.

Guys calm down.
I've checked the numbers, and a resonance cascade is highly unlikely.
In all seriousness, no matter how safe you think the LHC is, do you think a handful of governments should have the right to create a machine that could theoretically obliterate the entire planet?

I wanna play LBP, and Gears 2 before I die =(
This is MetalGearsOfSolidWar and its unfair that I got banned for simply saying Jap. I didn't mean it in a racist way. I was to lazy to type out Japanese. Also the other guys who took it out of context didn't get banned.
Somebody is being a bad mod. =/

I've never seen a resonance cascade of that magnitude before!

If they ask him to move any wedge into place we are all DOOMED!

You know what's going to happen when they fire up the LHC don't you? The researchers are going to be buried in a flow of single socks returning from wherever they go wehen they vanish from dryers.

Ok, Valve now knows what to do with the Half-Life Eps. 3. Gordon Freeman vs. the little black hole. And Alyx is in it. HOT!

Funnily enough, I was building my own HEV suit earlier today :P for a costume party. Accurate molded replica, not some cardboard cheap crap :D guess I'll be prepared when they open a portal to Xen ;)

Haha! All he needs is a crowbar and we will be good - even if a horde of crazy aliens come popping out. Seriously though, being a physics student, its pretty interesting. The LHC is incredible. There was actually a special on History channel yesterday about it. LOL yeah I'm an uber geek - science nerd and gamer. Heres to hoping we unlock some universal secrets...or at least lets hope it works (billions of dollars were sunk into that project).

wow..... perfect..... its great to think that scientists spend hundreds, thousands, evn millions of dollars constructing this THING nd theres states that just got hit by a hurrricane that could really use that money for the damage that was done. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is f**kn ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See how he's eyeing that huge wrench that guy is using? Oh ya, he knows what to do with that. Not exactly a crowbar.

Its not the end of the world... is just the beginning of an endless war against aliens...

Hehehe.. Gordon never screwed up. Gman did... And the rest of the ones in the office, pushing things through, despite the fact that there had been major damages to important machinery only minutes before testing.
So don't blame Gordon.. He's a good fella (AND FUCKING KNOW YOUR SOURCES BEFORE POSTING STUFF)
Also... If shit goes wrong, I know Gordon'll save us... And I'll join him.

As funny as this article is trying to be, it is really stupid. The LHC is going to create "Micro Blackholes." I want any of you to try to distroy the planet by sucking through a straw. Terrible analogy I know. It is people like the ones that think this will bring about the end of the world that hold back progress and cause dark ages. Let your fear and what you believe to be right to keep us from learning.
