Remember that we're talking in terms of particles colliding here - and they are absolutely tiny. There's only so much mass being collided and the type of black holes created would be almost indescribably small - and they wouldn't exist very long - they would "evaporate" almost instantly

Maybe.

Lol love the tiny maybe at the end. All of Hawkins work is based on theory though so if one of his calculations is wrong then a major Catastrophe maybe? Many scientists around the globe do think he is talking crap. Thing is though eventually the machine will be turned on and used at some point so I better get my hard had on and wait for it to happen. *runs off to dig a black hole proof shelter*

Hehe

Oh, scientists don't think Hawking radiation is rubbish, some of his newer stuff perhaps.

Christ all might this is the future of sustainable energy. It'll work, you'll all look like mugs. Your great great grandparents probably agreed when people said the human body couldn't travel faster than 30mph.

Is this the right room for a Hadron Collider?

Some pretty cool webcams of it here:

Ah, amazing what can happen if you own Apple Motion and you're bored.

It cant have ended - there is no story about it on news.bbc.co.uk

I was all set to fill in one of those 'Tell us how the end of the world has affected you' boxes...
