Have you proven it false?

Assuming it could happen, the only way to change the outcome is not to continue trying to create it.
Everything should be taken with a grain of salt and some caution.

He said himself that we'd have to create a machine as big as our planet to generate the energy necessary to cause this reaction, which is a statement on par with claiming that you'll be shown there is a god after you die - it places the possibility being proven wrong off into territory nobody can explore.
If I need utterly worthless theories about the end of the world I'll consult a street preacher.

..and other things should be discarded immediately.
I'll file this under his warnings about an alien invasion and move forward.

Well, he might still be wrong about it taking a machine as big as the planet to cause all that. If he was absolutely sure, he wouldn't have to add the warning. Besides, if the tiniest bang could create/destroy the universe, maybe we're smart enough to create one that could only destroy the planet.

The truth is out there.

Rather like 'this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!'
So that's how it worked.

It's somewhat unlikely to happen.
We'll all die because the universe evolves, not devolves.

QA is having a referendum to see if it wants to stay in the site.
Pro-SO separatists shot down the Tips section with a site-to-site missile.
Nothing new, really.

We've been a bit depressed, missing you. The first million years were awful, then we went into a bit of a decline. The next million were the worst, and then got worse from there.
Nice to have you back. I need chocolate...

![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) is sacred, second only to ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) in the devs' food sources.

In my opinion that is more of a sales pitch than an article.
It is even structured as a commercial: First of all he tries to scare you and show you the error of your ways.
In the end - by the way this is a book I wrote and I am obviously a successful individual.
Seems legit.
EDIT: Of course coffee can be bad, but moderation tends to fix that.

Moderation? I do not know this word, what does it mean? Copious quantities?
|
|
|
|

Well that depends on the person. I used to drink copious quantities of coffee, can't do it these days as my
stomach begins to malfunction if I drink the same quantity of coffee as I used to. 
But there were other involuntary changes in my diet as well.
