Turn It On!

The Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland is about to be turned on. I'll let your read the article to see the scientific merits of such a project. The interesting part is that there is a small chance that once it turns on all sorts of crazy physics phenomena could occur, most notably the creation of black holes that will suck up the Earth. I really doubt this will happen, but maybe a bunch of random people across the globe will get some superpowers. That would be pretty interesting.
