The world will end... erhh... any minute now.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Dr Brian Cox who works at CERN, and also co-wrote Things Can Only Get Better went to the same school as me. He's a couple of years older.

I think I'll trust him not to blow up the world.

This is just another case of physicists imagining themselves far more important and capable than they are.

We probably could live inside a black hole without noticing. :wink:
My only concern is: That black hole would be in Switzerland initially. I hope the Switzerians don't mind a couple of billion of visitors in their country.

That's much rather "People with no clue of physics believing physcists are way more powerfull than they are". :wink:
To sad that the bastard public still prefers Science Fiction to Science. Stephen Hawking's "History of Time" is such a good read. Especially the illustrated edition.

Well, at least until the sun explodes. But that's not for, ooh, months yet.

Nostradamus apparently predicted the black hole:

Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturn will be converted from gold to iron,
Raypoz will exterminate all who oppose him,
Before the coming the sky will show signs.

See? That proves it. And there's an enthralling "video" discussing it too. The narrator really makes it interesting.

So the world ends next Wednesday. Can we bring sandwiches?

James Ray's gonna eat Geneva? He can have my sandwiches if it'll save lives.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

What I particularly like about this post, Christophe, is your very chipper attitude toward the end of the world; as if you're really looking forward to it... ;D

Wednesday you say, before or after I go to this demo of the latest Adobe Acrobat? If it's after, I'd be as well not bothering and just get pished up in the Solid Rock, since I'll be in Glasgow.
