We aren’t going to be sucked into a black hole! http://roubalot.com/blog/2008/09/congratulations-we-arent-going-to-be-sucked-into-a-black-hole/ http://roubalot.com/blog/2008/09/congratulations-we-arent-going-to-be-sucked-into-a-black-hole/#comments Tue, 16 Sep 2008 03:35:19 +0000 nick roubal http://roubalot.com/blog/?p=24

Since the Large Hadron Collider was fired up a few days ago, speculation once again that it could potentially cause a black hole ending the universe as we know it, is now generally agreed upon to be an impossibility.  Actually, they declared the odds 1 in 50 million, so essentially like winning the mega millions…?

The more I contemplate the possibility, out of all apocalyptic scenarios, black holes are definitely the best route.  Just imagine watching everything around you sucking into the sky and disintegrating – better than an ice age or a-bomb anyways.
