Is the Earth doomed?

The Earth Doomed? Speak of the Devil, look what I found.

These dumbf*cks are gonna try to recreate the Big Bang. Gonna get a bunch of particles, bring them to light speed, the collide them, by nuclear means i think. If they're successful, great. But if they fail; it will produce small blackholes around the world that will suck the entire planet in. Proving a theory on the creation of the universe, with the risk of death to the entire planet. So worth it. And they're doing it tomorrow. So this could very well one of my (hell, our) final posts.

What do you guys think of this?

Well the earth is not doomed, yet. But humans are putting a not so welcomed hand in help speeding it up. Such as global warming, partially our fault but the earth was going to heat up on it's own. Just like how it will cool down after the heating. Plus with all of the weird experiments we have done or are going to do it's about time we screw ourselves over trying to help ourselves. Also at that I want to bring up the aztec calender saying December 12, 2012 is the end of the earth if the crystal skulls are not collected. I'm not so sure the skulls will help but the aztec may be on to something. Another thing I heard is in a couple of years a comet is supposed to pass between the moon and Earth, possibly colliding with the Earth and pulling another possible dinosaur predicament. And for the black hole thing atleast if it does go wrong we'll prove blackholes exist.

Well technically they aren't trying to recreate the Big Bang, they are trying to recreate the conditions after the Big Bang...which, I guess means that they are going to have to recreate the Big Bang first...oh well. We will know on Wednesday whether or not the world will end...just imagine it, the world ending due to a EPIC FAILURE, and we all get sucked into a small black hole...

I've been reading about it, creating a black hole which sucks the entire earth in seems just a bit too fantastic for me given the technology we do have.

Given the history of the earth, we're due for a major collision with an asteroid/meteor sometime in the next few thousand years. The magnetic poles are also due to flip sometime soon. And then there's the natural expansion of the sun, which in millions of years will engulf the earth before it goes supernova, though life will be impossible long before that. Will humanity be around still at that time? Dubious. We are, after all, just a spec in the timeline of this planet.

Thousand? more like 35.

There's always a margin of error in these cases, and those usually stretch it to a thousand years or so. There is always a possiblity of it within the next 35 years of course.

Today is the day the Earth is going to go boom... If this was an unconventional universe, ofcourse.

For the anxious, here is how it turned out:

I think humanity will destroy the Earth sadly earlier or later. I can see so much weird things in my country for example the weather is changing too much and I only lived 18 years but I can say that like the old grandmas and grandpas when I was young the world wasn't like this. I have heard many theories how will the Earth end and why are these changes. I think of sometimes when I will be a granny 60-70 years later how will the Earth look, will I see the end of the world?

well no black holes. In the event that one is even created, it'd be so small that it wouldn't even have the energy needed to suck in the protons around it, or so they say. All the scheduled testing for it is set at such low levels that I doubt they'll be tinkering with our solar system quite yet. but hey, in the event of a failure, the closer you are to france the sooner you'll find out what happens when you pass through a black hole!

You guys got some points, Here is how I guess the world is gonna end eventually!..., and Im being optimistic :P
With hydrogenbombs!( several times more powerful then Neuclear bombs)
