This morning's New York Times brings "Asking a Judge to Save the World, and Maybe a Whole Lot More." A taste of the article:
[T]wo men pursuing a lawsuit in federal court in Hawaii ... think a giant particle accelerator that will begin smashing protons together outside Geneva this summer might produce a black hole or something else that will spell the end of the Earth — and maybe the universe.
But, don't fear: "Scientists say that is very unlikely — though they have done some checking just to make sure."
This will be a fun article to talk about in remedies! Really puts to the test the sliding standard for granting an injunction: the likelihood of harm is tiny, but, wow, the harm is enormous!
