Oki, so maybe tomorrow the world won't end. Maybe all these scientists are right and these mini black holes and odd stuff will appear and vanish in a flurry of recorded activity. Maybe all the information gathered from the experiment will extend the boundaries of science further and help humanity to progress.

Or, as the doomsayers say, maybe tomorrow the world will start to be consumed by a mini black hole. Switzerland and France begin to be sucked in to the singularity that will form. Parts of the planets core in that region getting sucked in too along with the atmosphere spiralling down and in to the mini black hole, leaving us gasping for air a long time before this rock we call our home disappears.

Got to admit, this one does have me worried. I'm all for science, and it's progression but this is a real risky thing to do, just to answer a few geeky questions. I'm sure if I was a scientist i'd be better informed and as confident as they are that all will be well, but i'm not and no matter how many scientists are put in front of me to reassure i'll always have an element of "oh, darn, but what if?"

What I find funny is no one has a DR plan, like how on earth (arf!) do you shut down a mini black hole? Feed it tons of Doritos and hope it gets constipated and ergo winks out of existence?

Anyways who wants to dwell on the death and destruction of this lovely blue planet. Instead why not watch CERN's Large Hadron Collider web-tv and see the amazing event taking place on the day. Here's some great links, first is the LHC Start-up webpage, technical information for the media, and finally a link for Geneva timezone information (CEST) so you can loosly confirm the time we're all going to vanish, cough I mean discover some fascinating scientific facts!

I think it works out to around 08:30am BST on Wednesday 10th, if that helps anyone offset to their timezone (BST = UTC+1)

Don't forget to take time out to tell your loved ones how much you loved, erm love them and don't get all shaken up if you hear a rather large BANG!

Oh and also you can check my blog for a countdown to the big event (top left!) See, I do think of you all!
