I love where "Rees calculated that the probability of the Large Hadron Collider to produce a global catastrophe or black hole is 1 in 50 million." That's amazing. We have better odds of all being sucked into a man made black hole than we do of winning the US or Australian Power Ball.
I don't know whether to buy a ticket or build a black-hole-impervious-bunker. Either way the protons are ramping up to the speed-of-light and we should all hold our breath until Oct 21st (when the first protons collide). After all, with odds that good, even Captain Kirk would worry.
