You guys know the Large Hadron Collider In Switzerland? The machine that was supposedly going to create a black hole and destory the earth? Well, no chance of that, we're always in safe hands!

Anyone else got photos of people who look just like game characters?

I don't think thoughs hats are really going to help much IF the Hadron implodes... But, damn, thats kind of amazing.

Hang on... who built it? They wouldn't call themselves Black Mesa by any chance... if so, we're doomed.

Somebody give that guy a crowbar!

The collider is in Sweden, near Geneva, not switzerland. Is it a large collider of hadrons, or a collider of large hadrons?

the 2nd picture looks like subtle photoshopping....

there's no danger to the large hadron collider... unless you expect the same astral radiation that we deal with every day to be dangerous.

how did that black hole rumor start anyway?

I think it's because the scientists themselves have stated at some point that it might cause miniblack holes, however they also stated that they wouldn't have any effect.

Can you tell because of the pixels and that you've seen a number of photoshops in your time?

When the scientists working on it said it would create black holes

:/


To be fair, they did say "|micro black holes" that would be managable. But the fact that it will make black holes at all is somewhat worrying

Well, it's not really that hard to just put a little burn around the eyes, you can make anyone look like a sunken eyed weirdo.

No. It's not. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole]

To quote directly "According to the standard calculations these are harmless because they would quickly decay by Hawking radiation."

I don't pretend to understand the physics, but I'm not really worried about microscopic black holes.
