We are undoubtedly doomed!

Sounds like a sci fi flick starring Ice Cube with Martin Lawrence as comedy relief.

Are We All Going To Die?

No.

Physicist Stephen Hawking worked out in the 1970s that black holes evaporate, shedding their gravitational energy as so-called Hawking radiation. Smaller ones evaporate faster, and any made in the LHC would last a tiny fraction of a split-second, producing a burst of all kinds of subatomic particles...

"Are We All Going To Die?"
Yes, eventually. But it is better to go out in style, and with a bang. What would look better on a tombstone: "from the liver cirrhosis" or "by a black hole"?

In 3D, a black ring is impossible

Not true. Any spinning electrically charge black hole is going to be a ring singularity. Under the event horizon of course.

The black Saturn can only exist in a space with four dimensions, rather than the three we inhabit. In 3D, a black ring is impossible, so there are no big black saturns out there for astronomers to spot – but at a microscopic level, they might really exist.

Oh, thank heavens, now I can put the gun down. We're talking about pimples...

Strange I thought we lived in four dimensions at the macroscopic level as well, 3D + time. It's that pesky 5th dimension that you have to watch out for (no, not the singing group).

Is it just me, or do you all think they shouldn't be screwing around with that stuff ?
