The Earth and Its Fate

Update! Check out the live webcams of the LHC!
There’s been a lot of talk on the Interwebnets about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) lately. Neatorama found a great YouTube video that explains what the LHC does, and some other people are worried about what might happen (or already has happened) to the Earth as a result of the thing.
Me, I’m not worried. Even if the world is destroyed I’ll be made aware of it almost instantly thanks to a handy website and RSS feed that tracks the status of such things. Besides, there are so many other ways the Earth could be destroyed, being destroyed by a human-built collider seems almost too boring to actually happen.
But, if you’re looking to consume a bit of obscure trivia about the Earth before it’s destroyed, Kottke links to some interesting tidbits.
Earth-destruction or not, there should be some interesting stuff happening in the next few months.
