Actually, there's a much scary/interesting possibility than what's mentioned in that article (though the chance is much smaller and they aren't even sure if these things exist).

There's a theoretical type of matter (sticky matter maybe? I'm drawing a blank on the name) that when it touches any other kind of matter it instantly converts that matter to sticky matter and that bit of sticky matter converts all other matter it touches and so on. Some scientists say that this thing could possibly make some of that matter so the universe would be blinked out in an instant according to them.

They're called strangelets, and they're like...beyond theoretical.  It's like one guy just said, "What if there are things called strangelets, and they could convert everything else to stranglets?  Think about that one..."

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Let us hope the G-Man does not make an appearance at the LHC.

October 21st is my goddamn birthday!



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Being sucked in by a black hole has to be one of the coolest things ever. I always wondered what's in a black hole If the experiment goes wrong, we'll be sucked by one and we'll be able to see what's inside! (of course we won't be able to actually see anything, and we'll all die, and the human race will be extinguished, but it's cool nonetheless)
