Comments on: Abe vs. the LHC http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/09/09/abe-vs-the-lhc/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I have information from a <a href="http://qntm.org/?board" rel="nofollow">reliable source</a> that assures me the world has already been destroyed. The scientists at CERN apparently destroyed it prior to starting up the LHC as a safety measure to prevent the LHC from destroying it when it is started up. I know quite certainly that the source is reliable because up to this point it has been completely accurate regarding whether the world has been destroyed, although I will withhold final judgment on the matter until they finish checking their instruments.

It started when scientists decided to build a Large Hadron Collider about 13-14 billi0n years ago to find out what the origin of their Universe was. Thus, we repeat not ourselves, but history. ;) I think I know how the big bang began.
