This reminds me of the kook who got interviewed multiple times by the international media. He was terrified that the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would create a black hole and swallow the Earth. He wanted the whole thing shut down and he was pretty hysterical about it; very upset nobody was taking him seriously. Was he a physicist? Nope, just some guy who the press covered fairly well and, with apparent seriousness.
This was one of the many times where it was obvious that the news was drama and drama is conflict. Disgusting, really.
Disgusting, really.
During the first test atomic blast at White Sands during WWII, they were afraid it might set the atmosphere on fire, but they did it anyway.
As for micro black holes, it’s my understanding their gravity pull fades quickly with distance and they would be unlikely to grow. Unlikely...
And IF the LHX does create a black hole in that massive magnetic field, what happens to the radiation in need of exiting it so that it disappears without growing?
As I suspected this experiment did not create an actual black hole. It created something that mimics it in a way that suggests what a Black Hole would do.
The amount of energy it would take to create a mini black hole is way beyond the ability of any of our current devices to produce. This is a good thing because as the hole shrinks the rate it dissipates its energy increases and it essentially explodes at the end.
