The beams have not yet been run continuously. So far, they have been stopped, or "dumped", after just a few circuits. By Wednesday evening, engineers hope to inject clockwise and anti-clockwise protons again, but this time they will "close the orbit",

    So, no black holes sucking the earth into another demission? That sucks, I was kind of looking forward to the end of the world. I guess this means I'm gonna have to show up for work next week after all. :lol:

    Hmmmm,....the stars are all different, I can't find the familiar constellations. Have we already been sucked through a black hole into another universe??? :?

    :lol: Nah, that just means you're drunk and have fallen down and are still on your back with your head down-hill. They will reorient themselves once you stand up again. :lol:

    We are not out of the woods yet. The high energy experiments are not for a couple more weeks. Pleanty of time for the doomsdayers to have their fun. :)

    You guys are expecting to much all at once. The old fella I saw, that was trying to have this stopped said it would take 55 days for the Earth to rot from the inside out.

    So we still have lots of time.

    It's happening near France so the rot ought to spread fast. Anyone seen the movie based on Stephen King's novella The Mist? All I know is that if any gunslingers show up i expect some fat broad to start crooning.
