dude....seriously....remember Y2K?

[cool hand]

nobody was ing with bosons in Y2K.

I dont give much weight to this since people have been talking about the end days since human civilization began.

Even if it does end tomorrow, I'll be in a better place.

A much better explanation:

[Wild Cobra]

Well, they threaded it today. The experiments begin in October.

Look on the bright side...

Those of you doom-dayers don't need to worry about the November elections.

Will we feel it, or will it be, like, lights out, nothing exists anymore?

Assuming there is a danger, and a quantum level disaster occurs, I would assume the enegy and interactions would at a minimum, create a crater in the area large enough to send shock waves across the world and global cooling due to the expelled dust. If it were to create a chain reaction at the gluon level similar to the chain reaction in a fussion reaction, I think the entire planet would be gone in under 300 milli-seconds.

However, I don't believe any of that will occur.

So this is just planetary? Not universal apocalypse?

@ people seriously worrying about this. Don't you have anything better to do??

EDIT: Obviously not... dumb question

So, crossing the streams is bad?

I felt gay just watching that man.

We know so little about quarks, gluons, etc. It would be impossible for me to say what the limitations of a quantum disaster would be.

I have no fear of the project.

I just thought I would play with that 'panic button.' Afterall, one of the particles they are looking for is the "God Particle!"
