Deep underground beneath the Swiss-French border, the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, is used for the very first time. At modest power levels first, the plan is to gradually increase the power while the device and its enormous particle detectors are calibrated.
14:47.23PM (CET)
Initial results are encouraging and the team increase the power for the third collision experiment.
14:48.06PM (CET)
A microscopic black hole is formed from the incredible energy density in the collision proving that gravity is much more powerful over tiny distances, a prediction of the multi-dimensional hypotheses of String Theory.
14:48.07PM (CET)
Contrary to the less than compelling predictions of Prof. Stephen Hawking, the black hole does not immediately collapse in a shower of photons. It is stable and because it doesn’t destroy itself the LHC’s particle detector has nothing to detect. The tiny black hole shoots invisibly out through the walls of the detector’s cavern.
14:48.20PM (CET)
After penetrating tens of kilometres of earth the speeding black hole weighs a few milligrams. It emerges from the ground and like a tiny hypersonic bullet passes through a row of houses on the outskirts of Lyon, on its way upward.
14:50.54PM (CET)
Up through the atmosphere the black hole sucks in ever greater numbers of air molecules. As it grows it slows down.
14:54PM (CET)
The black hole arcs silently out into space. It has slowed too much to escape the Earth’s gravity. Under the influence of the Earth and Moon the microscopic singularity is in a highly eccentric and unstable orbit. The first collision could happen in a few weeks or it could be years, but it will happen. The most likely target is the Earth but the Moon may be first.

An earthquake and a devastating explosion destroy the city of Chicago. Survivors see a comet-like object shooting into the sky.

The object is tracked by telescopes as it curves ominously out into space. It is Christmas Eve. Helpless to change the inevitable, the wise men of science look to the eastern sky and realise what shall come to pass.
Thursday, 25th December 2008
Too slowly now to slice through our planet, the growing black hole falls into the atmosphere and begins to gorge itself. Our world is eaten in the space of a few hours, bathed in the glorious light of its own annihilation.
It could happen… Merry Christmas.
Of course, you could always find religion. If it wasn’t EVIL that is!
I was hoping we’d make it to 2012.

if anything dramatic like this actually happens, id be very surprised
heres my plan:

Told you all. You wouldnt listen. I made one of these at home. Yes i did, a small one and it produced a black hole which was able to sustain itself for 1 second. The scale of this will kill us all. I told them. They wouldnt listen. CURSE YOU ALL!
