First, NASA debunks 2012 end of the world theories with calm, reasoned arguments like:

“Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012.”

And now The Discovery Channel shoots holes (sorry) into the theory that the Large Hadron Collider will create miniature black holes that will consume the Earth.

What a bummer. The Earth won’t be destroyed in a particularly cinematic fashion worthy of Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich. That is, of course, unless they are lying to us while they set up their Himalayan arks or colonies on Mars for the rich and elite…
