"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

May nabasa akong sci-fi novel series noon, yung "Hyperion" ni Dan Simmons and it was about how humanity has spread across the universe through "Hawking Drive" spaceships and that the Earth was destroyed by the "Big Mistake" - a scientific accident wherein a black hole swallows the Earth!

In August, CERN will switch on this humongous thing which, in my opinion, is "humbly" called a "Large Hadron Collider". I could only understand a nanobit of what this thing can do so I mix this knowledge with fiction and voila, I can imagine these scientists rejoicing at their discoveries that would shake the very foundations of Physics and then they would confidently move on to create a black hole and then ... OOPS!

Ika ng ni Alexander Pope,

"A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again."

So will the revolution be televised, downloaded, or will it be sucked in by a powerful vortex that even light could not escape from? Read more about it, here.
