I know that the chances are said to be small for the end of the world, and thats great.

I know theres a lot of priceless information to be gained, which could even help us see my dream of much more expansive space travel in my lifetime.

Potentially we'll be able to figure out a lot more things we dont even know we dont know yet.

But none of the above stops me from feeling uneasy.. if only because the scientists are basing their statements on hypotheticals, about things we assume to exist (ie dark matter) and we know nothing of the nature of them.

I know we need to do the experiment as a species, thirst for knowledge and development and all that, but im still uneasy..

consider that the containment of microfusion by a quantum singularity
in a unit the size of a chevy van is the eventual possibility.

It may not be "impossible", but that only because many aspects of the experiment
are a leap into the dark.

It's just a interesting story void of understanding created so that people can get
excited about the project with out investing any real time or effort into learning
what is really going on.

I'll be expecting your $10 at some charity the moment they do create black holes. Probability is 99%.

Nice knowing ya if something does happen, Hopefully they have SubSim, Computers, and silent hunter on the otherside.:rotfl:

If this means I Don't have to pay my credit card bill and my home loan can be let go, I'm all for it!

Till then I'll just slave away to pay the bills!

That is an awful lot of money. Wouldn't that money be better spent in the hands of the people?

Yep it's a lot of money. Buy an unimaginable pile of shoes, booze, and things. But the hands of the people don't make it to the moon, develop new cancer treatments, and make Scotty's transporter a reality. But if all of us shell out a couple three hundred a year and let the "Eggheads" do their thing it's amazing what we get in return. I myself just cant imagine how much money that is. But good base scientific research always more than pays for itself in the log run.

Now enough of being Serious. More fearmongering! THE WORLD IS ENDING!! DRINK BIG!!!

It's underway.

I'm still here. But I wonder if you all are real, or just memories that turned into my living hallucinations!?

Don't say anything. I know I only fantasize that you are speaking.

Where am I...?
