So you really think the LHC is going to swallow up the Earth by creating a black hole or a quacking duck with X-ray super powers? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Not to be confused with other famous black hole bets.

The Milky Way has a roughly 3 million solar mass black hole at its center.
The nearby M87 galaxy in the Virgo cluster has a roughly 3 billion solar mass black hole at its center.
How much more massive do black holes get?
“Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope,tied between beast and overman - a rope over an abyss.What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
Why do black holes stick around in galaxies despite their violent dynamical history?
A brilliant young postdoc has an answer!
Why is it that on hot days, the Free-Ride offspring take up the question of how animals stay warm on cold days? Does this kind of consideration make the heat seem more desirable?
I'm counting on quantum immortality saving me.
Personally I'm more interested in quantum immorality :)

Is that immorality in waves or discrete instances of immorality? And can you be affected by immorality somewhere else in the universe (you know, "spooky immorality at a distance")?
"Spooky immorality at a distance" somehow reminds me of war and of the opening of "Gravity's Rainbow"
Dave, all this quantum talk has inspired me and made me realize that I may have missed an entrepreneurial opportunity all this time.
I bet if I combine my love of music with QM (which I know nothing about) language I could do well. Imagine a line of instructional books: "Quantum Guitar", "Quantum Piano", "Quantum Music Theory for Chromatic Scales".
All that needs to be done is an introduction about "the connection the quantum music consciousness." The rest is just the same old crap from every other book. I think I'll start today. ;-)
Watch out JohnQPublic, I may decide to sing the "Schrodinger's Cat" song for you :) Or the song about Cohen-Tannoudji ("Cohen-Tannoudji does quantum mechanics...his books in two volumes, I think it's Satanic.")
Ok I know nothing about Quantum anything but if the LHC can destroy the world I know what I want for my birthday.
