The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a 17-mile-long heavy particle accelerator being built near Geneva (CERN). Once it's up and running, its designers believe it will take particle physics to a new level. Its critics think it may create a black hole that will swallow the universe.

The button will be pushed sometime on Wednesday, Sept. 10. You can watch it all happen at www.cern.ch/lhc-first-beam

However briefly.

Well, given that there are black holes at the centre of every galaxy (supposedly), I think the universe will be ok. Earth, on the other hand.......

Our extraterrestrial visitors managed to survive (surely, they would have done this before), so I think we'll probably be OK. Barring, of course, some anomalous event causing some sort of chain reaction. But what could possibly go wrong?


Well, probably not this......
