I’ve listened to a few crackpots talk about their theories on the LHC. My referral to them as crackpots should give you an idea of how seriously I take their opinion.
Anybody that thinks the world is going to end tomorrow is gullible, and should talk to me about advertising rates on this, the most popular blog in the world.
I have thought, however, about what my own personal hopes are for the LHC. Besides learning more about the beginning of the universe, surely there are some fantastical things the scientists involved in the project haven’t accounted for.
For example, I hope everything on earth spontaneously turns purple. Surely the odds of that are less than the earth ending.
I also want everyone’s left hand to be switched with their right. Oh, boy. That would be funny.
The ocean should be turned to donuts as well. Complete with donut-breathing aquatic life.
What are your hopes?
