to be honest, I'd be laughing myself to death at anyone who actually thinks the world is going to end

Yeh yeh, I’ve heard the interviews with the loonies, and with the scientists.

However, Conspiracies aside, every now and then someone intelligent does something without knowing the outcome.
Scientists in particular have done this before. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes not.

Cane toads come to mind, but every now and then it can have worse consequences if it goes wrong.

A few years back one of the people who built the first atom bomb admitted that at the time they set off the bomb, they were unsure if it would cause a chain-reaction involving every atom on earth. – they still pressed that ultimately attractive little red button.

Personally, I don’t think there is a down side to the black-hole thing.

Scientists right: new and exciting knowledge for earths current plaque animal to play with.
Loonies right: global warming problem fixed for good.
