The LHC has captured the public imagination, which is wonderful because scientific exploration on this scale is a prerequisite for our survival as a species in this dangerous and challenging universe, and yet a significant fraction of the population would usually rather watch The X Factor. A slight irritant is that a small but vocal faction of nutters with a Frankenstein complex and membership of the "Relativity is a Zionist conspiracy" forum on the internet think that banging two hydrogen nuclei together will fulfil Nostradamus's prophesy (Century 4, Quatrain 67) that everyone should leave Geneva in the year that the air becomes very dry. He obviously never visited Manchester.

[after the various natural phenomena of 1556 and François de Guise’s attack on Naples of May 1557] 

[In] The year when Saturn and Mars are equally close to the sun, 
the air very dry, a long-tailed meteor: 
through secret fires a large area [shall be] burnt up by the heat. 
Little rain, hot wind, wars, raids.

Did Nostradamus warn us from 400 years ago about "nuclear physicists gone wild" creating a Doomsday Machine? Could this be the cause the December 2012 Mayan calendar destruction of earth?

The main purpose of the Large Hadron Collider, we have already said, is to produce anti-matter and black holes and conditions just after the Big Bang.

However there are those would theorise that these black holes that are created and which contain the densest matter in the universe, will plummet to the very core of the earth. Then, slowly but surely they will grow, one particle at a time but at an ever accelerating rate. 

Scientists have estimated that a stable black hole at the centre of the earth would consume not only France, but the whole planet in the very short time span of between 4 minutes and 30 seconds and 7 minutes.

In the above quatrain, Nostradamus mentions Geneva, and the "contrary RAYPOZ" could refer to a "contrary positive ray".

The Collider uses rays of protons positive charged, and "contrary" refers to a collision of two proton beams. 

This ray will exterminate everything. Does that mean an earth swallowing black hole may be created? Or maybe there will be some kind of giant nuclear explosion from a black hole or strangelet particle that is created from it. 

"Saturn turns from gold to iron" surely refers to a transmutation of elements, or maybe even a black hole created that will fly off into space and land on the planet Saturn, turning Saturn into a black hole.

"There will be signs in the sky before this". We have had an unusually high amount of UFO sightings this year with no let-up it seems. Could this be a warning of impending disaster? It seems like there are messages everywhere.

Whatever the outcome, we are all hoping to wake up on Thursday. Do you think we the world will end on Wednesday? Is there anything we can do?
