Certain Doom Postponed Again

The asteroid hitting Earth story reminded me about the LHC! This thing was supposed to fire up in Spring '09 (quickly approaching) but it looks as if they've pushed the restart date back to September of this year as they "add additional safety features."

It's already running. Why do you think this magical asteroid was mysteriously drawn to Earth? LHC blackhole!!!

Where's that damned "It's a conspiracy!" gif when you need it.

Just checking, I know someone who is that paranoid. They actually believe its going to destroy the world...to the point they have protested and done letter writing campaigns trying to get it shut down for good.

And yes I have openly laughed in that persons face and called them a tin foil hat wearing retard.

but yes, something about the Myan calendar only going up to 2012, and a few other signs point to it being the apocalypse.

Have you all made your peace yet? LHC is supposed to be ready next month.

Due to the time required to repair the resulting damage and to add additional safety features, the LHC is scheduled to be operational in mid-November 2009.

I was reading an article somewhere that quotes some of the LHC physicists saying that they believe that "the future" was tampering with it. Seriously. I'll try to find it.
