The end of the universe itself?

We're still alive. Now all we have to wait is wait until October.

And Hazzy, a black hole is pretty much a lot of gravity.

Having more mass doesn't decrease the gravity. It rather increases it.

Next up for the collider is cranking up the energy of the proton beams to about 10 trillion electron volts, more powerful than other particle accelerators like Fermilab's Tevatron but still short of the proposed maximum collision energy of 14 trillion electron volts that the researchers hope to reach.

Errt, wrong. They will (not hope) to get the protons up to the energy of 7TeV each, because they are spinning in opposite directions, the collision will result in 14TeV, the predicted amount.

Today they spun the protons at a mear 1.5*10^-6 the speed of light, not too impressive (about 1000mph), but it was just to make sure a proton moving 99.999% of the speed of light wont derail because of a misaligned magnet.

Also worth noting, they did infact say "Commence Primary Ignition!" when they started it, which made every nerd in the world lol.

Either way, I'm more of the rubber band theory, that all the energy in the universe will be converted into matter via stars, thus putting great gravitational effects between matter and dark matter causing the universe to collapse in on itself. From this collapsible a new universe is born with another big bang. I also believe this has happened before, and we are simply another universe in the cycle of the rubber band bouncing back and forth.
