That’s right. The Large Hadron Collider gets flipped on tomorrow. Incase you don’t know, the LHC will create subatomic black holes that will last a tiny fraction of a second before collapsing. Thus helping scientists understand how the universe began and what it is made up of. Just click the link and watch the video of a Ted talk at the top.

Some folks think that this machine has the potential to create a black hole that doesn’t collapse, but may persist and destroy the world. It has been shown to be all but impossible. This is just the initial firing up of this colossal machine, they are not scheduled to start smashing protons until October or November. All I’m saying is they better not ruin Christmas, I will be pissed!
