So they are back to trying to destroy the world. Maybe they'll be successful in 2012.

Destroy the world?

...

Anyway, this is great news, obviously we wont see results until some time in 2011/2012. But it will be interesting no matter what the results are. If we find the Higgs boson then that's great (which I believe we will find it), and if we don't find it then that makes things a lot more interesting. Hopefully it may also tell us an extra thing or two about string theory... It's all good.

Anyway, I await the first trickles of information to come.

Obviously you don't remember the big hubub about how the world might end when they turn it on.

I do, I remember people saying it would cause black holes, etc... The truth is that it most likely wont.

I also seem to remember most of the problem queries people brought up were quelled back then.
