Doomsday prediction of the week - TEOCAWKIAGWHNTDWI.
Submitted by rick on September 10, 2008 - 11:31am
Almost seven years to the day since a wacky science-fiction plot unfolded in the skies of New York, comes the event that will suck Switzerland into the centre of the Earth (or so we can hope), or it will be The End Of Civilisation As We Know It And Global Warming Had Nothing To Do With It.
Follow all the excitement of the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN website, or read the New York Times' infamous typo of their March 29, 2008 edition. (Or do something dull like read Slashdot.)
CERN, the former workplace of Webmaster Primero, Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, is also the home of one of the world's first cricket websites. Can it be any coincidence that CERN CC lost their quarter-final of the Swiss Cricket Association League knockout on August 17, thereby avoiding the prospect of forfeiting the rest of the finals due to the end of the world?

You can't help but be
You can't help but be reminded of stories from when the atom bomb was being tested- some people insisted that splitting the atom would cause an uncontrollable chain reaction that would destroy the universe. It didn't happen. Of course, that doesn't mean humanity won't get it right next time ;)
What I find to be a more interesting than the prospect of destroying the earth instantly is the earth slowly coming apart. I read a scientist's commentary somewhere that if we see a huge beam of light shooting from the middle of the earth, we'll know we've broken something and bad things are to come.
