Quote:The concern was that these particle accelerators —specifically the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, NY, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which straddles the border of France and Switzerland — would accidentally produce a particularly dangerous form of matter.
This “strange matter” as it would come to be called would quickly convert all normal matter on Earth to strange matter like itself in mere moments, a kind of particle zombie apocalypse powered by exponential growth that would leave the Earth and all life on it reduced to a relatively tiny ball of quarks about 100 meters across.
Strangelets. Of course, the whores for science assure us this could -never- happen.
