Hadron Collider This Saturday the most advanced scientific instrument ever built will be switched on in Geneva.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been built to test current theories for particle physics and scientists will try and recreate the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang by smashing parts of atoms together at high speeds.
When activated the collider could show one of the most elusive particles in our Universe, the Higgs boson, also called the "God particle". This observation could confirm the Standard Model of physics unifying three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out just gravity.
However, other more dangerous particles will also be produced for which searches are planned, such as black holes, and never seen before particles of matter, and even now, the architects of what is being termed a "Doomsday" machine, the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab, the National Science Foundation and CERN are being sued in federal court over fears that this experiment may in fact destroy the planet.
Also our old friend Nostradamus words ring from the grave with this grim prediction:
Nostradamus quatrain 9 44:
Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you, Saturn will be converted from gold to iron, "Raypoz" will exterminate all who oppose him, Before the coming the sky will show signs.
Did Nostradamus predict the Large Hadron Collider? Will the Earth disappear into a black hole of its own making?

I'm going to be so mad if the planet is destroyed on Saturday. I've recently started my savings fund for my End Of The World party, to be held in accordance with prophecy... (the Mayan Calendar, the I Ching, Nostradamus, others)... 12/21/2012. Not to ruin the surprise on that party, but you all of course are invited.

In the event, I believe I shall attend the "going away" party on Friday for my friend Bakke... laid off after 21 years. Seems like one should have a few adult beverages just as a precaution.

It only seems appropriate to have a party for the end of the world. This is why I find it distressing that those pesky Swiss scientists might jump the gun and kill us all on Saturday. That is hardly time to plan, and I've been so looking forward to having a Calendar Round cake at my 2012 party.... if I can find someone to make it.

Can't help with the makin' of it. Bakings not really my thing. But I'll behappy to help eat it.
