This might be one of the worst, least-descriptive titles I’ve ever seen
I generally always have an issue with headlines that say something could happen, too.
"New research could bring about the total destruction of earth." Could have been a headline talking about the LHC making microscopic black holes.
The whole LHC making black holes topic is so silly because if something the energy level of the omg particle hitting the atmosphere doesn't create a planet destroying black hole, then nothing humanity will ever create with particle physics will.
Just the radiation from the sun going through the Van Allen belts is higher energy than the LHC and the omg particle was like 7 orders of magnitude higher.
