Is that how it would read if someone (thing?) stumbled upon our remains?

Lotsa energy. Ya need that speed of light stuff if you're gonna create that black hole.

Ever see the space compression pics of particles going around one of those things? Einstein was right.

Brought to you by the same scientific community that can't agree on whether or not they got climate change figured out. Yeah, I'm real comfortable with those guys. What're they going to say? Oopsie?

It was believed, by Edward Teller in particular, at the beginning of the space race that one could control earth's weather from space. That was part of the impetus to lobby Lyndon Johnson to push for a space program.

Let's all don our tin foil hats and pray to "God" that it doesn't break everything.

Maybe. But keep in mind that scientitsts thought a human being wouldn't be able to breathe at speeds greater than 30 mph in the early days of the mechanization age, too.

"The safety of the collider, which will generate energies seven times higher than its most powerful rival, at Fermilab near Chicago, has been debated for years. The physicist Martin Rees has estimated the chance of an accelerator producing a global catastrophe at one in 50 million -- long odds, to be sure, but about the same as winning some lotteries."


Anyone play Lotto today?
