lol oh noes its going to destroy us all <rolls eyes>
You fail at both physics and life if you seriously believe that the LHC could create a black hole that could swallow the earth.
“CERN scientists say that a black hole is “virtually impossible.” Martin Rees, a U.K. physicist, has put the odds of a CERN black hole at one in 50 million.”
“While supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our galaxy, do gobble up stars and planets, microscopic black holes, like the ones the LHC could create, would look and act completely differently.
“It’s like we only had one word for every animal out there,” said Wilczek. “It’s like they had elephants in mind when they came up with the word ‘animal.’ But little amoebas are animals too.”
“The word is the same but the object is very different from the standard image that people think of.”
If (and that remains a big “if”) the LHC creates a black hole it will be extremely tiny, much smaller than a single atom, said Wilzcek. Its mass will be the same as the two protons that created it. Its range will be small—only a few times the diameter of the two protons.
According to Wilczek, that’s too small for the baby black hole to eat enough particles to grow to any real size. With no food, the black hole will simply wink out of existence in a fraction of a second.
To create a stable black hole, one capable of consuming the Earth, the black hole would have to be several hundred tons. A LHC-generated black hole would weigh a tiny fraction of a gram.”
