a group of scientists in europe have built and are going to be switching on a machine that could potentially open a black hole on this planet. the large hadron collider (LHC) is the largest device of its type ever constructed and will send protons speeding around its 17 mile circumference eventually smashing them together to simulate the big bang. thats right, theres a group of people out there who think its reasonable to try to simulate a explosion so fucking huge that it supposedly created the universe. besides a cataclysmic explosion and a black hole there is a chance the machine will turn all nuclei in the planet to strange matter. sorry dudes but even the smallest possibility of any one of these fucking things happening should be enough to deter you from turning this thing on. science needs to stop being about “can we?” and more about “should we?”
