Well, At Least It Would Solve Global Warming

Thanks a lot, New York Times, for ruining a perfectly good Sunday by adding to my short list of "Things which cause existential dread." Now I will be fretting in the back of my mind about not only climate change, loose nukes and the Middle East but also whether some scientists are going to accidently create a small black hole. Great.

I remember this guy sowing fear before:

"This is not the first time around for Mr. Wagner. He filed similar suits in 1999 and 2000 to prevent the Brookhaven National Laboratory from operating the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. That suit was dismissed in 2001. The collider, which smashes together gold ions in the hopes of creating what is called a “quark-gluon plasma,” has been operating without incident since 2000."

Don't worry about it. [Dons quamtum-proof tinfoil suit, begins eating preservative-rich Twinkies.]

my mother mentioned this to me today and is TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. I didn't know how to comfort her. I will try the "don't worry about it" approach.
