Irish online bookmaker putting odds in LHC discoveries.

What will be discovered first?

http://affiliate.paddypower.com/blog...n-dark-matter/

God is an outsider at 100/1.

Very uncomfortable with black holes offered at 8/1.
(Makes further discoveries unlikely .)

Regards

Steven

Hey, my favorite outcome isn't listed, which is; another particle zoo explosion and 30 years of head-scratching refinement for the Standard Model.

I put the odds at 20:1

Not really, we can all discover 'oneness' along the way!

Literally!

8:1 odds on black holes suggests a particle implosion.

If they're big enough, we might not see anything at all

I'm pretty confident we're gonna hear the words "who ordered that" all over again.

So in the words of Clint Eastwood, "do you feel, lucky?"

Reckon we should we have a wager on this...AUS$1 perhaps?!

No...the black holes will suck everything in and you won't see any particle tracks

No...you see, if I'm right Steven pays me, but if he's right I don't get the chance to pay him...

You should always look for the positive in the negative.

You forgot about God. He/she might make sure the bet is paid.

Steven, when you say God, do you mean God-God, or a God-like metric???
