POPSLARGE HADRON COLLIDER. Will it destroy the universe? The idea dates back to Einstein's explanation that spacetime can be deformed by large energies or masses. Since the Large Hadron Collider is a twenty-six kilometer ring of superconducting magnets designed to do nothing but give a particle as large an energy as possible, that sounds like it could be an issue. Small deformations in spacetime (like Earth) give us the force of gravity, severe deformations give the cosmological trash compacting black holes, and an extreme case could cause a wormhole - a link between two points as spacetime folds over to touch itself (no sniggering).

POPSPHOTOS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD II. More of the best and the worst of us, some are shocking, but should not be ignored. Explanations for each are on the website. Thought about flagging this as mature due to the graphic nature of some pictures, but I don't think you should censor history.
