The End of the World or Just a Wrinkle in Time

Today, the world's largest particle collider opened at the CERN.
By late fall, scientists will have begun to collide particles at 5 trillion electron-volts, working up to 7 trillion electron-volts.
The director of the CERN lab assures us that the world is not about to end after numerous studies.
The director of Fermilab, the world's now-second-largest collider, tells us that "That there are many theories [about what happens in these collisions] means we don’t have a clue," said Dr. Oddone. "That’s what makes it so exciting."
Hmm, reassuring...kind of like a comic book mad scientist. In fact, doesn't this kind of sound like the plot to Spiderman II?
Just in case, it may be time to stop procrastinating on contacting that long lost friend or that reconciliation with your sibling....after all, if things look like they are going wrong, expect the European Union to get working on it about 4 years after the end of the world.
