Why the Earth could end when this thing fires up (Chicago Tribune)
When European physicists bring their monstrous supercollider to life, will it swallow up Fermilab? Could it even spell doom for planet Earth? Tribune science reporter Jeremy Manier explains Sounds like the premise of a bad sci-fi movie: Big-time physics experiment accidentally destroys the Earth. What might happen when the Large Hadron Collider goes live at the Swiss-French border on ...
