Beijing Olympics have finished and the winner is China

Apparently the Olympics have finished. Can anyone remember if Tibet is still occupied and being colonized by non-indigenous people, who have nothing to do with Tibet historically, ethnically or culturally? Just curious.

Curiousity may kill the CERN

It has been reported that tests being performed by the Large Hadron Collider at the European Nuclear Research Centre (“CERN”) will result in the creation of innumerable mini black holes. Most physicists have ascribed to the theory that these mini black holes will vanish in an instant.

However, others suggest that one of the black holes may expand rapidly and swallow the Earth, and other surrounding matter. CERN are reported to claim that the test is crucial to revealing the secrets of universe’s very existence, and that the test will recreate the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang. Why is it so vital to understand the mechanism of existence? Is it worth risking our existence, even remotely, to know how it happened in the first place? This exercise reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babel but hopefully we can discuss this further in the future.
