DEEP ARCHIVE: TRY WAYBACK MACHINE

EDITOR: Worried about saving the spotted owl? How about opening a white hole in Chicago, summoning primordial energy, and blasting a supernova to zap everything eighty light years out?

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Fermilab is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory for research exploring the fundamental nature of matter and energy. The bird's eye view of Fermilab, above, shows Tevatron, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, and the oval of the Main Injector, a new accelerator that will begin operating in 1999.

CONVERSATION:

Astrophysicist: that is a very powerful,very nasty accelerator!

Phikent: those guys could open a white hole

Astrophysicist: in fact I am just now on your webpage I see the reference to Fermilab

Astrophysicist: yes, that is called an Einstein-Rosen bridge in physics terminology

Astrophysicist: Imagine what the SSC could have done!!!

Phikent: but...but....what kind of energy release is this? Isn't there....er....a slight danger? Like maybe an itsy-bitsy supernova? Wipe out everything for 100 light years, stuff like that? I'm way outta my league now.

Astrophysicist: a white hole is the positive pole in an Einsten-Rosen bridge...I suppose one interpretation is, given sufficient energy a mass of 2.5 times that of the sun could be collapsed else where in the galaxy and pour in here through Illinois.

Prof. Paul W. Dixon: Supernovas in Chicago

Puncture the fabric barrier between Einstein-de Sitter space: unleash a supernova to disintegrate earth and the solar system, turn the sun into a neutron star and spread the explosion 50 light years out into the Cosmos.

FERMILAB'S "DONT WORRY CITIZENS" LETTER

Editors note: If nature blankets this amount of energy anyway, why the expensive accelerator? Just watch the play of sunlight on the average eggplant . . .

A COINCIDENCE?

WASHINGTON (AP) Eighty camouflage-dressed Marines are planning an invasion of Chicago next week not to fight but to start learning how to wage war in an area cluttered with skyscrapers, sewers, rail, tunnels and lots of people.
