Doomsday machine?

Naw, it would not be a real good thing to just wipe out a substantial proportion of humanity, such a catastrophic event would just leave the rest of us/them(?) with a seriously screwed up planet -- and how would you choose what chunk of earth gets swallowed up?

The cleanest solution is total annihilation, nobody left around to worry about it.

BTW, I do not subscribe to the theory that this machine can cause such an event, mostly because these types of sub-atomic reactions occur regularly in the upper atmosphere and for better or worse, we're still here.

Makes for a neat movie plot though.
