[edit] Just because it's a fun fact to know, the probability of a black hole actually being created is 1x10^-32 (or 0.00000000000000000000000 000000001 to 1).
[edit] Holy crap in a hat! Front page! Thank you. I appreciate all the support!
[edit] Yay! Daily 2nd! Thanks everybody!
A music video for "Scientist" by The Dandy Warhols that I made a few months ago (back when the Large Hadron Colider was actually topical). Enjoy.
One day while working on the Large Hadron Collider a (now broken) machine with a 0.000000000067% chance of creating a black hole and a 99.97% chance of kicking it old school, The Professor noticed a fluctuation in the Higgs Boson field, so he did what any scientist worth his salt would do and pushed the inexplicably large, glowing red button.
The machine calmed down, but then suddenly began shaking violently. A particle shot out of the LHC and created a rift in the space time continuum. Out stepped a velociraptor with a jaunty vest, monocle, and a fondness for Earl Grey tea.
The Professor was overjoyed. He imagined all of the fun he would have with his new friend. They would roll down the streets of LA with the top down, win big at the craps table, sip top shelf liquors in neon lit nightclubs and nod to each other in slow motion as if to say "Damn right".
Meanwhile, up on the catwalk, science supervisor Veronica Stiletto looked down and saw what manifested itself on the floor below. She had her own plans for the creature.
Who will win?
