As I discussed a few blog posts ago a serious hole in our apocalypse protection network was about to be compromised with the non-renewal of the website http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/. But it seems that Domenic has come to the rescue! See comment in the above blog post and the RSS feed update:
Domenic (a true fan of this site) was so distraught at the thought of missing out on further reassurances of the earth's continued existence that he's ponied up the registration cost for another year. So, we're not going anywhere after all.
1. The world has not ended. 2. The website is still going. Hence 3. Keeping the website going is what is keeping the world from ending. Err.

One RSS feeds I subscribe to is the one at http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/. I mean, if the world is going to end, I certainly want Google reader to be the first to tell me. But today's RSS update is, instead of the traditional "no", different:

You may have noticed an ad running on scienceblogs which says "Has the LHC destoyed the Earth?" If you click on it you find a webpage that says in big letters simply "NO". What's up with that? Check out the webpage source for the page (http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/).

When BEST first came out I said it was boring, because it just said what everyone knew already "Summary: the global temperature record is just what we thought it was". There was some soap opera thrown in for fun, but that didn't affect the science.
But now (New Global Temperature Data Reanalysis…
There's a thread on twitter, started by "@JacquelynGill" noting "The Day After Tomorrow", "@ClimateOfGavin" replying that "it was that movie and lame sci community response that prompted me to start blogging", and continuing "Spring 2004 was pre-RC, Scienceblogs, etc. Deltoid was around, Stoat, @…
I and likely others have suggested that because of "quantum suicide" (look that up), we will never experience the world being destroyed by the LHC as long as there is some chance the world survives. Why? Well, if MWI is true, then the few branches that survive "carry our consciousness" and only they can have us knowing what happened. So let's say LHC destroys 99.99% of multi-world branches, so what - the "yous" that survive will know they did and that's what "you" (ie, any of you) must experience! It's hard not to survive anything, you only need a tiny chance of getting through ...
I ridiculed this idea, with "quantum stupefaction": read about it at http://tyrannogenius.blogspot.com/2008/11/this-is-adapted-from-my-comme….
Of course! It's saving us all via the quantum Zeno effect!
Maybe we should try to persuade them to send more RSS updates though, just to be on the safe side.
"Of course! It's saving us all via the quantum Zeno effect!"
I for one plan on using the quantum Zeno effect in the seconds right before I die.
Hmmmm.... If that worked, then we would never sleep, at least not when we are trying to stay awake.
