Wasn't that the point? You only need a small one. A small one grows eating everything around it ....

LHC sounds more like an illegal substance. Should be handled by the Interpol. Anyway... Carry on.

No, one as small as the LHC would be able to create would collapse very soon after it was created. Such a small hole does not have enough force to pull in matter from around it before it collapses.

Anything is dangerous if you don't use it right.

Oh, so they already know that fact for sure? Or it is just some guessing?
Once they were sure the Earth was flat ........ they even could prove that fact.
Once they were sure something heavier then air couldn't fly .... they even could prove that fact.

Etcetera etcetera etcetera .......

REPENT I SAY!!! TeH EnD iS NeAr.

You do realize that even micro black holes usually have a diameter of 24 KM or larger?

I don't think CERN would have made the LHC if they knew the risk of a destructive black hole being created was high. Stop worrying, guys.
