Typo http://2012hoax.wikidot.com/forum/t-195369/typo Posts in the discussion thread "Typo" - Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

Space is mostly space. Even when it is sub-atomic space.

And that's ALL that would happen. No implosion. No Planet Earth being crushed to the size of any sort of sports equipment.

The way "it's" is written is correct. It is a contraction of "it is", so the apostrophe is used in this case. I see some cases where a space is missed, and as Seen said, it is likely that "properly" was meant to be "probably".

Basically[,] [it's]

Properly was misspelled and reads like it was supposed to have been probably even a bad idea.
