Nah, not really. The scientists at the massive European physics lab CERN say when they switch on the Large Hadron Collider this August nothing more than groundbreaking research will result.

But some of the nerds at Wikipedia say the LHC could create "micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles," none of which we understand--but all of which sound terrifying!

If you don't fear science and like wearing hardhats on tours, you can actually go visit CERN. Make reservations at least three months ahead of time by filing out this form.
