This seems to be wrong, from what CERN has said. There are some head on collisions which do produce low net momentum bits and pieces a la road traffic accidents.

There is really no argument with the possibility admitted by all that mBHs will be produced. The issue is what they will do.

And kindly don’t forget stranglets, which are fully expected judging from the detector set up to see them. though in a rather unhelpful location blinded by radiation.

Is there anyone here who can read, and is willing to do so, apart from Houston?

The discussion should continue as long as people realize that.

Meanwhile Houston’s selective citation is merely the product of an attentive reader’s detection of important admissions. By CERN safety experts authority (G and M) we know that mBHs will linger on Earth. Therefore the risk has to be addressed, unless we all sink into the tra la la stupor some people apparently like to bury their heads in, rather than question the distinguished leaders of the field.

How naive they are. The truth appears to be otherwise ie those who lead almost any field are often the worst read of all experts. Their specialty has to be politics.

Those who defend them also appear to favor playing politics rather than show open minded objectivity about an important question. Apparently they have never lost the tendency to ingratiate themselves with power that possibly proved so successful in their schooldays.

Gentlemen, this is a scientific question. If you have no interest in science per se you shouldn’t discuss it.

:D

The few hypotheses (they are not really theories) predicting them are also predicting the decay of this particles…

Rössler has never shown any theoretical sound argument for the formation of this hypothetical particles called “micro black holes”. I am sure that he is not even basically familiar with the few models predicting this particles.

The commentator “Nicolai” above says that 1 in 100000 black holes made by CERN would be moving at less than 7 miles per second. Where did he come up with this estimate?

Did any CERN physicists come up with an actual calculation?

Furthermore the proton is not a hard sphere but a particle composed of many subparticles (lets simplify it this way) so that together with the very high speed a perfct symmetrical collision with is very unlikely.

I would recoommend to you to read a proper book about the experiment.

What is his background? Physicist? Engineer?
