well, fractions of a second after the big bang, anyway. Kind of interesting, really, really trippy.

Some scientists believe this will validate the "string theory"....for those of you who don't know what that is it's a theory stating that there are more dimensions than just the 3 physical dimensions of space and one dimension of time that we cannot observe.

Others believe that small black holes will be created in the collision, while others believe it may cause the end of the world due to a chance the collider "may cause a breakdown of a metastable vacuum state that our part of the cosmos might be in, converting it into a 'true' vacuum of lower energy density. This would result in an expanding bubble of total destruction that would sweep through the galaxy and beyond at the speed of light, tearing all matter apart as it proceeds."

Simply put, we're fucking with the birth of the universe, and nobody knows what will happen. Crazy.
