...there is only 12 days until they fire up the world's largest supercollider.
From Wikipedia...
"Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the LHC might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles."
And here are some hi-res pics...

I think it is both cool and scary. Who knows what will happen.
