Large Hadron Collider maybe not as harmless as first stated...

Three physicists have reexamined the math surrounding the creation of microscopic black holes in the Switzerland-based LHC, the world's largest particle collider, and determined that they won't simply evaporate in a millisecond as had previously been predicted.

Rather, Roberto Casadio of the University of Bologna in Italy and Sergio Fabi and Benjamin Harms of the University of Alabama say mini black holes could exist for much longer — perhaps even more than a second, a relative eternity in particle colliders, where most objects decay much faster.

Seems that the Collider technicians and creators have been less than forthcoming about the truth in relation to the dark matter released. Dark matter is not something to play with, but that seems to be irrelevant to scientists at this point. Besides, if they screw up, we won't feel a thing. It'll all be over pretty darn quick.

Hey, there is a post about this already, started earlier today:

Contrary to popular beliefs it's not going to be that quick. I can't find the links right now but if anyone had the patience to do research...

A micro blackhole surviving outside the LHC will drop down to the ground, to the Earth's core without encountering any resistance. It will accumulate matter on its way down, creating a tunnel that progressively grows larger in size. Then it will pass by the core and reach the other end of the globe. Then it will drop again back to the core, repeating the process until the tunnels have grown significantly wide and Earth starts collapsing to a smaller sphere.

The tunneling won't stop until all the Earth is consumed. And the rate of consumption accelerates as the BH gobbles up more matter. All People will probably die when the Earth starts collapsing. But we won't be flashing out of life in an instant, we'd be killed by falling debris like in an earthquake. All this is gonna take a while so it may hurt

Ahh. Thanks for the info. I'm even more excited now.
