Ever thought about catastrophic scientific experiments before. I have recently after reading a book which outline several possibilities for the end of the world.

Experiements by definition, always carry some degree of risk, expecially those which delve into areas unknown. Many experimental tests have unwittingly cause harm to those who perform them. For instance I'm sure the symptoms of radiation sickness we observed before a link between radiation and poisoning was established.

These days many experiements are carried out, some of which test against well defined and studied areas, other which plunge straight into things we don't yet understand. Some experiments may involve looking into the time-space continuum. Now my knowledge of this area is admittedly pretty minimal, but could it be possible that our intrepid scientists accidently play with something that shouldn't be played with? Could our universe be irrepairably damaged, to the point where mankind could be wiped out? Could my broadband connection, due to arrive in a couple of days be lost?

Who knows? Lucky we possibly live in a world when multiple universes are abound, and will never need to know the fear of instant death via apocalyptic time-space continuum disruption....
