Maybe it's all about getting to the apocalypse soon. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
apocalypse_kree just has wonderful timing.) Last week, we were looking outside as the sun was setting, and everything looked distinctly yellow. The sky was this weird yellow-gray. I really wish I had grabbed a camera, because it just looked like we were all so very screwed. (DMark, of course, asked if I had my crowbar handy, just in case the resonance cascade from Half-Life happened. Because, well, it's DMark.)
Today, on MetaFilter, the LHC made the list, with a link to everything you wanted to know about the Large Hadron Collider. And yes, it does address the question of if turning on the LHC will destroy the world as we know it. (Answer: physically no. Hawking radiation causes micro black holes to collapse under their own mass. In the "revolutionizing physics by proving or disproving a deeply-held theory about the existence of the Higgs boson" sense? Hopefully yes.)
The countdown is also awesome in any case.
