By The Time Your Read This We Could All Be Dead

Apparently. Well, if you believe some of the stuff being spouted about CERN's new particle accelerator called the "Large Hadron Collider".

CERN are about to spin particles around a 27km long tunnel in opposite directions at massive speeds. The point of which is merely to see what happens when the particles collide. Read the press and you quickly realise that CERN don't actually have much of an idea about what may or may not happen.

Some people are warning that it may create black holes that could swallow the earth. At the other end of the spectrum people are saying that nothing will happen at all. The safe view lays somewhere in the middle, that they may get glimpses into how the big bang took place without it causing the schools to shut.

There will be a couple of people who will be popping open the champagne corks right now I would imagine. Dan Brown, author of 'Angels and Demons' and Ron Howard, Director of the upcoming film of the same name and sequel to 'The DaVinci Code'. Angels and Demons zips along with a story about secret CERN experiments that create dark matter, which is subsequently stolen and put under the Vatican City to blow up. Brown, Howard and anyone who will benefit financially from their work must be secretly hoping that something dramatic, but not *too* dramtaic happens. End of Switzerland, fine good publicity, end of the world, not quite such good news for the spending of the profits....

I'm not going to Wed Bed or Dead this one. We are close to releasing the new version of the site, a world-class Social Networking site called JEMPLE. Jemple.com launches in October so watch out for that, much smaller explosion!
