~Dec 12, 2012 the LHC will have been expanded and dubbed the Super Large Hadron Collider,
Also in December 2012 we have the BUT the Galactic Alignment in which we are lined up with the Galactic equator
so in Dec 2012 if they fire up the SLHC time and space will collapse.

Or we just may have the game Half-Life on our hands.. (srsly there are pictures around and 2 of the workers on the LHC look exactly like the GMan and Gordon Freeman...

Gordon Free
man ala GMan..
in fact the gman kinnda looks like a older Gordon Freeman..
(and they are building teleportation devices, in the future they could build a time machine and that the gman IS gordon freeman from the future...)
I over think too much...
