The 5 Scientific Experiments Most Likely to End the World

Isn't it similar to "a bit of a fizzer". Or have I got the wrong one. :dunno:
Simon:
Depends what you're thinking about, MB! ;) ;D

:lol: :naughty:

What, speaking on the internet? From what I remember the first web browser didn't cost out the ass and take researchers years building the first testable prototype. Even the military networks didn't take that long and cost that much to produce. Either way, mostly everything that came out of building the first academic networks was known ahead of time. They knew they were paying for a network to share information. I don't remember hearing any people predicting a catastrophe from the creation of the first internet browser
sam:
but the crazy people did still predict that CERN would end the world then - creating antimater... scary stuff! I think you are also giving the scientists of CERN a huge discredit there.
It won't end the world. You only have to know some simple physics to figure out that all these things are not going to happen. Like the black holes... the size that would be created are less than the Plank length and so would evaporate rather quickly. Unless we are majoirly wrong about physics...
