The Big One!

Have any of you heard about what’s going on with the Large Hadron Collider machine? You know, the machine that will one day collide two atoms at almost the speed of light. The machine that a lot of people think could cause a black hole on earth and destroy us all. The same machine that has cost a few countries just over $10 billion to build and fund the project. Oh, yes, that machine. Well know some people are calling the machine a big black hole, because of wasteful speeding. From what I read the machine so far has ran for a total of 9 days, and as yet to collided an atom. That’s because right after start up the machine had a power surge and destroyed 51 piece’s of the collider. Which by the way each piece cost over $1 million, wow. I read that it takes months to reassemble just one piece. Anyway, when they get the mounts, pieces back in place they hope to fire the machine at half power sometime in November. If everything works out a full power collide of 2 atoms could be right around the corner. And if some people are right we may all be gone in a second.
