Looks like some people didn't even read it =P The world's not going to end on the 10th. The experiment is just going to 'begin' on the 10th.
That's probably why you shouldn't rely on journalists and religious nutjobs for your scientific information. What they're going to do on the 10th is simply try and see if a particle can be run the complete circuit. There won't be any non-chance of the world ending until they start actually experimenting with it, which isn't until the 21st of October. OK so I WILL get to see my DVD. There's 13 episodes. How long *have* I got to watch them?
I'd say on average about 60 years? Should be plenty of time. my opinon and is backed by nature of reallity is that the world will end one day!!!
Absolutely. In 5 billion years time or so, the Sun will begin it's "Red giant" phase, and swallow up the Earth. However by then life on Earth will have been extinct for millennia, so nobody is going to be around to panic about it on Interweb fora.
