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. |
Its actually kinda scary reading that. Hell what if they do turn that shit on and the world evaporates. We will never know when it actually does turn on, because im sure it will be classified.
What if one of the scientists miscalculated, or cut a corner, or they paid off the inspectors, or a million other concerns?
Do you really need to create one that big, or could you maybe have gotten by with creating just a regular sized one. Seriously that thing is massive.
