10/09/08 My Birthday and the End of the World?!

The Large Hadron Collider by CERN
On my birthday the world might end, this is what doom tellers think when CERN fires up it's Large Hadron Collider on 10/09/08.
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva will fire subatomic particles into a 27-km long loop, making them travel it 11,245 times a second, and then smash them head on to seek answers to the birth of the universe.
Last week, Prof Otto Rössler and other naysayers of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment had hoped that the European Court of Human Rights would block it. They believe that the chances of a black hole — an intense gravitational field sucking in everything including light — being created by the experiment is very high. Rössler says that the worst case scenario will have the Earth sucked inside out “within four years of a mini-black hole forming”. The Court, however, dismissed the petition.


And this is what that might look like.
