It sucks that the LHC isn't going online until next year. I was excited to see them create a black hole on earth.

Well the LHC may not be ready but we do have Antimatter now in the form of AntiHydron. Even if it isn't stable and blows up as soon as they make it. Make enough and the black hole on earth could be sooner than next year.

Seems as if we've become the nerds of the nerds here. :)

LHC = Large Hadron Collider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider)
27km (17 miles) in circumference and ranges from 50 to 150 meters underground.

I see your LHC and raise you an AD (Anitiproton Decelerator) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiproton_Decelerator):

Turbine Theory and Ideal Gas law and how it is applied to turbochargers or Subatomic particle acceleration/deaccelartion; both are fun.

That sounds sweet. So when are we going to have the cyborg war? Or is it the age were hackers take over that huge data bank. This is kinda scary...I think I should build a rail gun! (http://www.powerlabs.org/railgun.htm)

The rail gun is always the answer to domineering technology. Terminator is a perfect example. LOL

The builders of the world's biggest particle collider (LHC) are being sued in federal court over fears that the experiment might create globe-gobbling black holes or never-before-seen strains of matter that would destroy the planet.

Some doom sayers are scared of such notions as:

Runaway black holes
Strangelets
Magnetic Monopolies

I actually feel sorry for the lawyers on this case.
