Well, I think it's true that there have always been dangerous times, except the game has simply changed.
Speaking of dangerous.
In the paper I read about a recently built "Atom Smasher" in Switzerland I believe.
It is a ring 17 miles in circumference under ground built to try and prove the exsistance of alternant dimensions, theoretical particles, etc. However, some theorists and other scientist say it may cause a danger to us and the planet or destroy Earth entirely.
Some time ago (about two years) scientists reported that they had created "strange matter" in a laboritory. This annomilly lasted for 1/100 of a second and took up a space of 1/1000 of an inch. This was the result of smashing two atoms together in the right conditions.
(edit) This article was in some science magazine. Popular Science perhapes. I apologize, but I didn't think I'd have to site at the time.
Scientist opposing this "Atom Smasher" say it could create a black hole or release harmful 'particles'.
The Smasher is due to be tested in August.
Anyway. Don't get upset. Life is to short.
BOOM!!!!!!
