Is woo-woo contageous?
Do we sometimes still get taken in when woo-woo is plastered all around?
Do we in moments of weakness succumb to superstitions or irrational fears?
What got me wondering is why am I so uneasy about the LHC coming on stream on 10 September.
I know that the energies that will be used will be far below the energies in cosmic particles which hit the Earth and the moon on regular intervals. We are still here. Even if a micro singularity were created, it would evaporate due to Hawkings radiation. Yet why do I feel apprehensive about this? Have I allowed the Woo-woos to get to me?
We do have the church town day on that day as well, so could that be it
