I think that the major danger is that they will find the Anti-Christ particle instead.

(Assuming that the scientist is actually a reincarnated Crocodile Hunter, who had foresaken crocdile hunting in favor of astrophysics.) - "I thought you guys said this was going to cure Herpes. This does NOT look like the cure for Herpes!" - "This is JUST like that REM song, right guys? Oh man I love that song. And seriously, what IS the frequency Kenneth, am I right? Guys?" - "We should have used more beakers!" - "Dude, this Black Hole better have a shitload of beer and ladies, cause the T-Man is ready to party! Woo-HOOO!" - "Who let my cousin Ted in here?" - "We thought he was with you. He told us you said he could accelerate some particles." " No I did NOT say that my 19-year old frat boy cousin Ted could accelerate some particles. Why would I say that? He's wearing a Babe-ology T-shirt for Chrissakes." - "Time to accelerate the particles in my PANTS! Yeah!" - "I really hate you Ted."

It grabbed my attention (possibly because some German scientist said it would bring about the apocalypse). This doomsday scientist said that we wouldn't notice anything different at first. Then he said 4 years later, a beam of light will appear over the Indian Ocean, which will be the beginning of a series of events that is the apocalypse. So, of course, I put on my quantum physicist hat and googled the topic (Big Bang Theory worked best). A physicist wants to use a 17 mile circular tunnel particle accelerator/collider to accelerate 2 sub-atomic particles to the speed of light and then cause them to collide. Why? To prove that he is right that the Big Bang Theory did create the universe and smite all those God lovers! Mwu-hahaha (evil laugh). Which is all well and good except that my understanding of the Big Bang is that eventually everything in the universe starts to come back inward, colliding again, and creating black holes. So, travel to Europe may be a bad idea in the next year. Maybe the physicist's comments will go something like this, "I can't see a damn thing in here," or "Well that can't be good."
