Tomorrow they will be firing up the Large Hadron Collider and will create the Higgs Boson for the first time since the Big Bang. But what they don’t realize is – the Higgs boson IS the Big Bang! The moment it is created our entire universe will be sucked into a quantum singularity creating a new Big Bang and creating another new universe out of this one.
Have you ever wondered if Humans will ever develop the ability to time travel into the past? If that is possible the people from the future should be visiting us now. But they aren’t. Why is that? Because we destroy the universe before we invent time travel. And that’s going tp happen tomorrow. So enjoy the last day of existence because tomorrow it’s all over!
that certainly is ONE theory…
Do you happen to work for a credit card company????
Goodbye cruel world. I glad the world is ending because I’m sick of living. This will spare me from a slow and painful death. So long suckers.
AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Why do taxpayers keep giving money for these physicist boondoggles? A billion dollars for FermiLab so far.
… and I feel fine.
I guess there is no need in checking Dvorak/blog tomorrow.

Scroll down for Gregg Easterbrook’s rant against this funding.
Scientists Discover That If You Slam Members of Congress Together Under Pressure, Money Is Released: High-energy particle accelerators cost taxpayers large sums but stand little chance of discovering anything of practical value. Promoted as quests for understanding of the universe, particle accelerators serve mostly as job programs for physicists, postdocs, and politically connected laboratories and contractors.
There’s more.
I have a rather limited grasp of particle physics, as I suspect the other does as well :). Just to state that ‘they don’t realize is – the Higgs boson IS the Big Bang! The moment it is created our entire universe will be sucked in to a quantum singularity creating a new Big Bang and creating another new universe out of this one’ in reference to the scientists at CERN is kind of a kicker.
I’d sooner worry about the cell replication story, a couple of entries below…
#7–thanks Mike. I wanted to say exactly what you have posted, but didn’t have the words. You can’t really say such investigations are “wrong” but there is so much more elsewhere with better and real returns. Electrical Storage Technology just ain’t sexy enough.
In as much as they are trying to recreate the big bang, I would say it is wrong.
What a worthless Prediction….. No way to gloat or receive accolades if you are right…. The only outcome is you look like a moron…
Except it wasn’t U.S. congressional money used to build it. .. The U.S. is a third rate scientific nation today, because science and mythology can’t exist in the same mind. .. We made our choice with electing the shrub.
This is what CERN has to say about these fears.

I don’t know who’s right. Maybe I will not spend all the money I have in the next hour. But I will try to look around and appreciate life a little more than I would on any other day.
#10 – you do know I’m kidding – right?
Actually, they’re just shooting light through it. The end of the world doesn’t happen until October.
I guess when the aliens show up over Alabama on October 14th there won’t be any Alabama.
Nice headline Mark.
But you forgot a couple of things… an ellipsis after “the”, underlining “END OF THE WORLD” and finally you are a few exclamation points short on the end of the headline.
Damn, and I just bought a Prius.
#4 – “boondoggles”?
ROTFLMAO
Just because it didn’t come to you in a dream from Jesus doesn’t make it a ‘boondoggle’. Fermilab (and likely this accelerator) are fantastic and have added greatly to our knowledge about our universe. I know heavy science seems abstract and silly because it can’t instantly be put into a “product”, but get over it.
I’m glad they’re doing this early in the month. I won’t have to pay the damn bills.
#15 Maybe Alabama will go careening towards the aliens.
Everyone who think the LHC will destroy the Earth tomorrow, please wire me your money so you won’t be burden with it in the after-life.
Seriously, nature creates more energetic collisions with cosmic rays everyday (damn Nature… who’s suing her?)
Maybe I will not spend all the money I have in the next hour.
I will. A couple of double cheeseburgers and a big Coke. Nice knowing you all!
Hey, will I feel anything, or will the first thing that goes through my head be my office furniture?
“The moment it is created our entire universe will be sucked in to a quantum singularity creating a new Big Bang and creating another new universe out of this one.”
Oh well….
It was time for a re-boot anyway.
At least Sarah Palin will never be President.
Tomorrow someone will install and launch IE8 over Vista on a 4 core box. So many resources will be consumed up that a local black hole will be created eventually engulfing the entire planet.
Embrace and extend.
Has anyone considered a micro-big bang that we can lord it over? We’ll be the boss of the new mini universe!
Anybody read “Cosm” by Greg Benford? A great novel about a physicist who accidentally creates a mini (to us) universe in her lab and the philosophical questions thus engendered.
Hey John, that’s what this blog is – your personal universe where you are lord!

Because its “boondoggles”, like the ones at CERN, that are responsible for every piece of technology you use on day to day basis. The things we can discover with the LHC could help us develop a reliable source of energy, for the entire planet.
It only took 24 replies before some ignorant liberal fool brought Presidential politics into the mix.
bravo bravo I am amazed that it is the republicans that are supposed to me mean spirited and evil but it is the libs who always throw the first punch.
It seems where liberals are involved you just cant have a discussion on any thing that they don’t bring up the so called “evil” or “stupid” republicans or associates
