News that CERN's Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland has been a success so far pleases me greatly. I am a big fan of the Big Bang theory of the universe, if only because proof of an expanding universe means that one day I will be able to put even more distance between me and the sort of egregiously platitudinous humanoids who runs for public office. What an immense relief it would be to witness the repulsive faces of O'Bummer and McPain hurtling away from me at incalculable velocities.
If they could be observed being sucked into a black hole that would be even better, although I'm sure creationist Sarah Palin would be spat right back out again. Even anti-matter must have some standards, right?

How can we be certain that CERN hasn't in fact generated a black hole into which all matter has been drawn, seeing as we'd be drawn in along with everything else? Maybe the effect is for everything to look mostly the same, but for a few fundamental inversions of logic. I'm getting the creeping feeling that some appalling surprise is awaiting us. Might explain a few things. I'm going to go compare timelines.
