It's the end of the world as we know it...
...and Michio Kaku feels fine.
Actually, Wednesday's launch of the European Nuclear Research Centre's Large Hadron Collider will not be the end of the world, according to Dr. Kaku and, er, everyone else who knows what they're talking about.
But that hasn't stopped some paranoiacs from making death threats against the scientists involved, nor from filing frivolous lawsuits in Hawaii (I blame Obama!) and Switzerland, trying to stop the project.
Nor has it stopped me from adding Sept. 10, "the end of the world," to my countdown sidebar at left. :)
For more on what the Large Hadron Collider is actually all about, see this Guardian page and this Telegraph article. (Hat tip: Becky and my dad.)
