Wait a sec... I just thought of something.
So lets just say that the LHC will end all life (maybe existence) as we know it. Will it all be over instantly? Is it going to slowly spread and we have to run? If this thing goes off, are we going to miss out on zombies? I would kinda prefer zombies as an option for the end of the world.

Wouldn't it be awesome to realize that every civilization only gets to create the Higgs Boson once, then is annihilated...that's as far as it's possible to go.
So the first race that creates it off of their home planet, or perhaps out of their solar system is actually the winner!
But then we wouldn't know it any more

Just in case you missed the post.

Then it will be time to test one of the most bizarre and revolutionary theories in science. I’m not talking about extra dimensions of space-time, dark matter or even black holes that eat the Earth. No, I’m talking about the notion that the troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.
Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, Japan, put this idea forward in a series of papers with titles like “Test of Effect From Future in Large Hadron Collider: a Proposal” and “Search for Future Influence From LHC,” posted on the physics Web site arXiv.org in the last year and a half.

yeah, it'll be fast I think - either a primordial mass that essentially multiplies the gravity, or a black hole, that will render earth uninhabitable in a few seconds, or possibly a chain reaction to a "strange matter" earth, which would be molten hot due to the speed of transformation. All relatively cool. haha...

But if you don't go with tat notion... then all of the above ideas are just as plausible.
