Should we be scared? No. In June, CERN published a safety report, reviewed by a group of external scientists, ruling out the possibility of dangerous black holes. It said that even if tiny black holes were to be formed at CERN - a big if - they would evaporate almost instantaneously due to Hawking Radiation, a phenomenon named for the British physicist Stephen Hawking, whose theories show that black holes not only swallow up the light, energy and matter around them, but also leak it all back out at an accelerating pace.

"Eighteen days after we released it, we'd exceeded the number of known species on Earth," he says. "I thought that was a nice metric." Wright also discovered that he'd inadvertently created a new art form: Spore-nography. People were using Spore to create creatures that looked like, well...
...fall. It proposes no less than a complete overhaul in cancer policy. "We need to integrate our current fragmented and piecemeal system of addressing cancer. Front and center in our current system are the troubling divisions that separate research, prevention and treatment," Kennedy said in a Senate hearing in June...
