Don't worry, you can see for yourself that it's safe...

A black hole in Switzerland is less of a problem than your signature, firth.

No doubt. That is annoying as an imaginary place of eternal damnation and torture :lol:

Luckily there's not an anti-thread, for if there were and a mod combined them, we could wave good bye to ...um, waving goodbye or anything else..

Is it wrong that my first instinct was to take a screenshot so I could show others?

... and our entire universe will have existed within an infinitesimal amount of time in a single geometric point in that other universe's LHC... and when we fire ours up, for an unimaginably brief period of time, another universe will exist within ours...

I'm going to keep thinking about this... this is a pretty awesome (if incredibly unlikely) concept.

EDIT: ahh, that was meant to imply that the former universe was destroyed, wasn't it... Well, now you see the difference in how a scientist thinks...

Heh. If it makes you feel any better, I was thinking the same thing when I first saw it.

Some people jump to the most negative conclusion, some always assume the most positive. But some people... we instantly think about the most interesting ideas. :)

Yes: my first thought was, "Wow, they've invented neckties in that universe too"
