The ignored new knowledge (derived from Einstein\u2019s 1907 equivalence principle, Pauli\u2019s quantum mechanics and Poincar\u00e9\u2019s chaos theory) implies that the experiment has by now accumulated an approximately 1 percent probability of \u201cearth evaporation\u201d with a 2-cm left-over called a black hole forming in a few years\u2019 time. <\/p>\n<p>Worse: If CERN continues as planned for the next two months, the risk rises to 3 percent according to the best currently available knowledge (three times higher luminosity). <\/p>\n<p>If \u201cthree percent\u201d does not look like a large risk to you, imagine your child not returning from the boarding school to which you sent him with a probability of three percent. No parent would accept such a risk.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, dear Security Council: please, do allow for a public hearing of the un-disproved danger entailed by CERN\u2019s refusal to double-check. <\/p>\n<p>Take care,<br \/> Sincerely yours,<br \/> Otto E.
