Oh no this isn't good; lhc black hole?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider


After the first year of data collection, the LHC experimental collaborations started to release their preliminary results concerning searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model in proton-proton collisions.[54][55][56][57] No evidence of new particles was detected in the 2010 data. As a result, bounds were set on the allowed parameter space of various extensions of the Standard Model, such as models with large extra dimensions, constrained versions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and others.[58][59][60]

->>>>>> On 4 october 2011 it was reported that mini black hole; has been created at the LHC.

Between July and August 2011, results of searches for the Higgs boson and for exotic particles, based on the data collected during the first half of the 2011 run, were presented in conferences in Grenoble[61] and Mumbai.[62] In the latter conference it was reported that, despite hints of a Higgs signal in earlier data, ATLAS and CMS exclude with 95% confidence level the existence of a Higgs boson with the properties predicted by the Standard Model over most of the mass region between 145 and 466 GeV.[63] The searches for new particles did not yield signals either, allowing to further constrain the parameter space of various extensions of the Standard Model, including its supersymmetric extensions.[64][65]

Answer 1

Gamma rays hit our atmosphere and moon all the time, with high energy far beyond what the LHC can create. If they don't create a black hole, the LHC can't.



Sleep tight.

Answer 2

Do not worry. As has already been made known, the LHC is no threat to the existence of Earth. Even if it did make a black hole, the hole would be so tiny that it would very quickly evaporate via Hawking radiation.



As a reassurance, check this website every now and then:

Answer 3

If you had read the National Geographic article you would have known they are talking about creating a quark-gluon plasma particle, which is the densest matter known, besides a black hole. They weren't talking about a black hole itself!



No, a mini black hole was not created! Learn how to read.

Answer 4

On 4 october 2011 it was reported that mini black hole; has been created at the LHC.

Someone is trying to post this to warn the rest of other people;



The people who do that (unfortunately, anyone can edit Wikipedia) are nothing but scaremongers who delight on preying upon children's innocence and causing tragedies like this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7609631.stm



If you had bothered to correctly read and quote the article,

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/05/110524-densest-matter-created-lhc-alice-big-bang-space-science/

you would have realized that they were speaking of a quark-gluon plasma,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark-gluon_plasma

which lasts a fraction of time shorter than it takes light to cross an atom.



Next time you read Wikipedia, check the sources and confirm against other reliable sources.

Answer 5

Lol relax. There are probably so many tiny black holes surrounding you right now, they have no noticeable effect on macroscopic objects. It's only regular black holes that you should be worried about, but it's impossible for a particle collision to create a proper black hole.

Answer 6

People are removing it because it's wrong. If you actually read the national geographic article you would know this. They created a quark-gluon plasma, not as dense as a black hole.



Now stop trying to use Wikipedia to spread your misinformation.

Answer 7

I'm afraid your post can only be described as "ignorance induced panic". Stop worrying about a fantasy and get on with your life. The LHC is several orders of magnitude short of the capability of doing what you seem so afraid of.
