whee theoretical particle physics!

A reminder to anyone who was worrying--they have yet to destroy life as we know it.

I'm sorry to report that no black holes have been spotted. Not even tiny ones.

....okay, hands up. Tell me that you totally would not have run outside, looked into the theoretical shape of our fate and the end of all humanity, and thought, "Awesome."

Cause I gotta say. Black hole created by accident is not like, the most embarrassing way our species could end here. Think hairspray.

I return everyone to people who didn't hear the words "microscopic black hole" and think "I wonder if they will sell keychains."

Well, when I was reading it I understood his explanation as to why the whole paradox is irrelevant, but now it's gone a bit hazy. Maybe in ten years' time I'll read it again.

*rubbing forehead* I went back to read again to remind myself why I hated relativity (I always relate this one to time dilation as approaching the speed of light). I feel like physicists are trying to write a proof for the sound of one hand clapping while a tree falls without an observer in the forest.
