According to a Live Blog from a UK Radio station, there's a chance of a collision today

So if all we're waiting for, before we're crushed into oblivion, is a collision, we may get one sooner than we think :)

It amuses me that some people on here are still convinced that the LHC will kill us when it actually starts doing collisions. Read about it some more, and you'll find there's little chance at all of everything getting 'destroyed'.

I'm sure the majority of the people posting here know it's a pethtetically insignificant chance of "Doomsday" happening.
But it wouldn't be fun if we didn't make fun of the people who do believe we're all going to die now, would it?

I guess so. Some people do seem pretty convinced though ;)

I hate redundancy too. In any case, I'm fairly certain we're not going to die.

I don't see why they are bothering.

They could end the world by trying to find out how the world began.

Many scientists have died because they thought they knew what they were doing :P. anyway stephen hawking is in on this whole LHC thats why im not going to worry bout it. Hes a pretty smart guy,and if he says nothing bad will happen then its good enough for me. unless he despises everyone because we can all walk,and he knows it will destory us :( than bad mister hawkings!!! bad!

I think hes got a bet on, if he loses (the LHC doesnt blow up the world) then he gets a noble peace prize but if he wins (the LHC does blow up the world) then hes gets £100.

Anyone who is seriously worried about the LHC, please read this article by Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer.

His bet is actually $100 over whether they will find the 'Higgs boson', which is a 'particle that gives mass to all other particles'. Not over whether the world will end. In regards to the Nobel price, he stated that he would surely recieve one if the LHC creates a black hole that showed the properties he predicts, although he says the chances are probably around less than 1%.

if they knew exactly what was going to happen when they started doing collisions there would be no point in building the thing and actually doing it. the whole point is to explore the unknown.

This thing COULD create a black hole and even open a door to another dimension. Imagine "The Mist" happening for real. That would be fun.
