I'm excited beyond words on the commisioning of the LHC! 3-4 months before the first collision event takes place.

IIRC aren't the odds of a black hole or singularity occuring astronomically high?

Pretty much a guarantee. So yes is the answer to your question.

Sooooo...what you basically have here are a couple of guys in tinfoil hats
What I like was the the bio bits on the second page at the end of the piece on Sancho "he probably lives in Barcelona said Mr Wagner" ,He does a joint suit with the guy and he doesn't even know where he lives

Take a step back and think about it like this.

They really don't know exactly what will happen when they do the first collision(s). If they did know, they wouldn't need to do them. Right?

There's a ton of articles, videos, and whatnot on this topic out there. I've been reading and watching for a couple years. For me it's a coin toss. There's a 50% chance it will destroy the universe, and a 50% chance it won't. There doesn't seem to be anything in between.

We'll know in a few months, or not. If it does all go to hell, I wonder how much time we'll have to point fingers and say "you bastards were wrong".

Has anyone ever seen one of these Black Holes? Have we detected one and measured one or are they still in the realm of theoretical mathematics?

Have we seen a Black Hole being "made"? Do we know what makes Black Holes?

How do these scientists know how Black Holes are formed and whether we puny pathetic humans can generate anywhere near the energy to grow one?

I hate when scientists use the word "possible" Pretty much anything and everything is possible. It is really a useless scientific term and only serves to stir up emotional responses.

It is possible for Sandra Bullock to come over to my house and give me a nice snarlin.

Possible yes. Probable? Alas no

Pain in the Arse Reporter: Dr. Distinguished Scientist, please tell me, is it possible for this nuclear reactor to spring up, propel itself through the air and insert its reactor core up my butt?

Dr. D.S.: Uh well, I never thought about that. but yes I guess that would be possible.

PitA Reporter: There you go, our leading scientist claims that this nuclear reactor is a potential threat to our anuses.

Dr. D.S. : Uh that's not what I meant.

PitAR: Sorry, Dr, we are out of time. Thanks for your expert advice.
