NYT’s 10 things to scratch from your worry list
After discussing the Artic’s missing ice (don’t worry, it is not missing - there is more ice there this year then the last year), NYT pointed out two more things that we can scratch off from the worry list:
9. The universe’s missing mass. Even if the fate of the universe — steady expansion or cataclysmic collapse — depends on the amount of dark matter that is out there somewhere, you can rest assured that no one blames you for losing it. And most experts doubt this collapse will occur during your vacation.
10. Unmarked wormholes. Could your vacation be interrupted by a sudden plunge into a wormhole? From my limited analysis of space-time theory and the movie “Jumper,” I would have to say that the possibility cannot be eliminated. I would also concede that if the wormhole led to an alternate universe, there’s a good chance your luggage would be lost in transit.
I wished they had included the worry about blackholes from LHC - yes, you can scratch that off your worry list too.
