"However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to pose a threat. At these energies and distances, gravity is not the dominant force in a black hole.


Well, let's be careful anyway, guys. The world has lasted so long, it would be a pity.....

Maybe I read too much Sci-fi, but when those folks at CERN get their thingamajig fired up and running, I'll be a tad less certain that the sun will rise next morning...

Whew...had me worried there for a second. Glad to know people playing around with black holes aren't a threat.

Big deal, I created a fireball and a 'black hole' in Electronics class in high school using a high voltage outlet and a length of solder bent in a horseshoe. :)

I want to see if I can make one of these show up in my neighbors' house. It would be fun to watch when the police broke in trying to find them.

What? Oh!

Nevermind!

Lots of funny comments.

FYI: If my memory serves me correctly Grant money for similar experiments was withheld a few years ago and the experiments were ordered to be stopped immediately while a panel of physicists examined the proposed experiments.

The reason why? What if a group of scientists working in particle acceleration lab created a BLACK HOLE that was above some level of stabilty (ie. large enough that it didn't immediately dissolve because of Hawking Radiation)?

Would it "run away" and devour the Earth? In other words, one minute I'm tying this message and the next mi.......................

The human race disappears without any warning. Poof!
