I am lead to believe that Mr. Wagner flunked out of physics and then pursued law, and this is the result of him watching too many episodes of Eureka.

I thought it was the oscillation over-thruster being improperly modulated with 1.22 Jiga-watts.

@BadNick:
My thoughts too. As an engineer, scientific progress gives me hope that a better world can be made.


@ Tophat665:
Amen.

@Martian:
Thank you!


@MSD:
We don't know what a strangelet would do. All heavy particles that we have created thus far have decayed into their base particles in a matter of microseconds, however if we create particles that are more stable than our own.. who knows? The Shadow knows... Muwhahahahaha!

Also, a black hole would not be bound by anything to stay in the "containment field" of the accelerator, because a black hole does not retain charge/magnetic properties (as far as I have read, I may withdraw this later). Any microscopic black hole would just fall into the Earth. Evaporation is just a theory (one I thought was proven 8 years ago in the Fermilab... must have been a different discussion I had in nerd club).


@Ustwo:
Don't worry. If Oh-My-God particles have collided with the Earth and we live, I don't think we need to worry about this. Yes the particles are being created at rest with the lab... but...
