i won't ever mention the sheer hilarity of that sentance....

* The risk is calculated at about 10 to the minus 40 - a 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000 chance.
well then, i certainly feel safe now...some scientists who want to open a portal to another dimension not only tell me the chance of destroying the planet is "extremely low", AND they go to the trouble of calculating it! let's get these guys a f***ing FRUIT BASKET!

EXACTLY. It's so funny, it makes it easier to pretend it's not true...

If this was a book from Preston and Child there would for sure go something horribly wrong with this experiment. Still, it's 'comforting' to know that they took the danger of destroying the earth into their risk calculations.

"Science: Accidentally destroying the world in pursuit of knowledge since 2006."

Actually, they said next year.

But that is totally going in my sig.
