Anybody else slightly worried about the final and biggest experiment by CERN falling on December 21 ?
I have no time for these theories, but this has got to me :s
Comfort me....
The Mayan "Long Count" is merely a division of time.I have no time for these theories, but this has got to me :s

Representation Long Count subdivisions Days ~ solar years
0.0.0.0.1 1 k'in 1 1/365
0.0.0.1.0 1 winal = 20 k'in 20 0.055
0.0.1.0.0 1 tun = 18 winal 360 0.986
0.1.0.0.0 1 k'atun = 20 tun 7,200 19.71
1.0.0.0.0 1 b'ak'tun = 20 k'atun 144,000 394.3
The 21st of December takes us from 12.19.17.19.19 over to 13.0.0.0.0. It's a day for celebration in Mayan culture, much like the millenium was for us.

I'm more inclined to believe the boffins rather than the brain-dead scare mongers.

Isn't the 12 b'ak'tun the last though? So it's going to hit 0.0.0.0.0 and all the aeroplanes will fall out of the sky, nuclear missles launched, Elvis back from the dead just like in 2000?Representation Long Count subdivisions Days ~ solar years

NB -some of that might not have happened in 2000 but given the state of my memory these days I can't be sure which.

I took the radical step of actually looking at the LHC schedule for 2012 :-
https://espace.cern.ch/be-dep/BEDepartmentalDocume...
No tests schedule for the 21st. Whole thing seems to have sprung from an April 1st blog post at Categorists.com, although the links are now dead. The alternative media, being the open minded truth seekers that they are, completely failed to check the CERN schedule and just went straight into panic mode. Classic example of blog posts using other completely uncredited blog posts as "evidence" and ignoring actual research. Some of the forum threads are brilliant, if completely insane.
Wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

The problem with cern is that insurance is futile as there will never be a payout. Are they realy going for full power 2014/15?
Describe, using Brian Cox where appropriate, the circumstances leading up to the collision...Be interesting to see what they find when they turn it up to eleven.
"Long Shutdown 1" is now happening for upgrades over the next two years--> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-2142...
