Large hadron collider Definition and 105 Threads

I understand that if black holes were created in the LHC, they should evaporate in 10^-100 seconds and be created at 1 black hole per second. The collider produces 10^8 collisions per second. The lifespan of a black hole increases with mass^3. I was wondering whether it would be possible for a...

The highest energy particle collisions ever attempted will begin at LHC at CERN near Geneva later this year. Are there any possible risks, even at an extremely low probability, from these experiments? Could we accidently trigger something like fusion? Could micro-black holes fuse and become a...

Two Russian Mathematicians claim that the Large Hadron Collider (being built in Switzerland) has the potential to "tear holes" in spacetime. Here is their paper written from the http://www.mi.ras.ru/index.php?l=1" http://arxiv.org/pdf/0710.2696 Just curious on people's thoughts.

Today's issue of the Science Times features a long article by Dennis Overbye on the Large Hadron Collider. It includes some pictures credited to Physics World, Sept. 2004, from which credit I presume the "particle sprays" are in fact either simulations or else do not depict ATLAS data--- my...

I've read here http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/general/gen_info.htm about the LHC buing under construction at CERN and they say that it will collide protons and other ions at very high speeds , but they don't say what new particles are expected to appear ,or what theories do they expect to be...
