Forget asteroids and global warming, because new findings from Europe’s Large Hadron Collider suggest that the end of the world may be more abrupt than you’d think.
As NBC News reports, the proposed doomsday scenario rests upon a particle believed to be the Higgs boson — the so-called “God particle” that CERN scientists discovered last summer. Scientists are still reluctant to confirm that the particle is indeed the elusive Higgs boson, a particle believed to give other subatomic particles their mass, though early results show that it fits all the requirements. According to a theoretician at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, these findings may also provide clues about how the universe will meet its end.
