The Large Hadron Collider has been in the works for years - I can't believe it's almost ready to be charged up. This unbelievably powerful particle accelerator could potentially figure out why particles have mass and whether it can be explained by a theoretical particle called the Higgs Boson. The existence of the Higgs Boson could potentially lead to the elusive Grand Unified Theory.
Of course, the power needed for such an experiment may cause a worldwide explosion, implosion, black hole, or other physics-bending mass cosmic devastation. However, a new study says that we don't have much to worry about.
Interestingly, it's the only safety study done since 2003 on the safety of this ginormous atom-smasher, and it was only conducted by five physicists.
In any case, we'll find out next week if all of known existence winks out. In the meantime, be sure to tell your parents you love them, and I'd recommend scoring some hot sex (these two recommendations are unrelated).

I'm pretty sure the Large Hardon Collider will open a portal to Gozer.
