It's The End Of The World As We Know It!

The World Is About To End!!!!! Well, sort of, maybe. There is an experiment about to take place in Switzerland in which scientists will try to create the same conditions that existed in the Big Bang. They are going to smash together tiny particles of matter in giant underground tunnels at almost the speed of light. The temperature will reach 100 000 times hotter than the core of the Sun and it's possible that the energy created will destroy the Earth. If it does, there will be no homework next week.

You can find out more by watching the video on the BBC site.
