ZapperZ said:You need to keep in mind that creating black holes is something they WANT. This isn't the issue. If GR is correct in this energy scale, then creating these micro black holes would not be surprising. I know of many people who would LOVE to be able to create AND detect them.
The issue is (i) the nature of such black holes and (ii) that they become stable and can create a catastrophe. This is the scenario that is creating such a brouhaha in the media. This is what has been argued to be extremely unlikely. It is as likely as you spontaneously vanishing.
Zz.
ok thanks for your response. i take it that the odds are way against these stable BH's then?
well it still makes me feel a bit uneasy that we might be creating these black holes whatever the size to be honest.
are the scientists at all aprehensive? becasue didnt one of them say they don't actually know what will happen in this experiment?
