If such a mini blackhole turns out to be a threat, the inhabitants of planet earth probably will not even have enough time to just take note of that, but will be gone as soon as the phenomenon jumps into existence, or not!?

I should imagine that it would take some time for it to completely destroy Earth... if it needs to grow. However, if it does start to grow, then we can all be assured that we, our planet, and even our solar system are doomed to be broken down atom by atom, piece by piece.
It's a risky thing. We can't be sure of what is going to happen, but we can't be sure that this won't unlock secrets regarding the universe's coding and help us greatly in the scientific field. Perhaps instead of doing this on Earth, we should try to do it on another planet in the future... say after we colonize Mars?
