Worried about cel phone radiation or plastic bags destroying the environment? Fuggetaboutit. A recent article on the New York Times debunks 10 recent fears. Can you believe people were worried about random wormholes appearing?
The list kind of got weak at the end about dark matter and wormholes. Dark matter is still an issue for astronomers, but they now understand the universe is actually speeding up in expansion, and will not collapse in whatever zillion years.

Seriously, 8 things people fear just doesn't carry weight like 10 things do.

I put up a big front, but I'm still terrified of sharks.

If I accidentally fall into a wormhole tomorrow and end up in an alternate reality I'm gonna sue the writer of that article for convincing me to lower my guard against such things.
