It has been theorised and agreed by the physicists at CERN that mini black holes could potentially be created by the LHC , but they theorise that will be tiny and will just evaporate , however , there is also the possibility that they will not. If a mini black hole were to be created and it doesnt evaporate by hawkings radiation (which it's existance is actually debatable) , then a mini black hole has the potential to grow and by swallowing all matter around it , which means the earth. This experiment has the potential to create a black hole that will swallow the earth and everything in it, why is this experiment being allowed to take place ? And on top of that , the LHC cost 6 billion dollars to make. All this danger is just to find the higgs , a theoretical particle which physicists say exists in a effort to explain how energy somehow turns into matter/mass. But is finding this out really worth risking our planet and the live's of every single human alive ? Is scratching the where do we come from itch that important ? Well to most of us , of course not , some could care less , we are alive , and enjoy living our lifes , many of us have families , and spending our time with them is more than enough to satisfy our being. Is it ethical to have a few individuals decide for the whole world weather or not the risk for this experiment is worth taking ? Shouldnt the people have a say in weather or not we want our scientists conducting such dangerous experiments ? What benefit will come from finding the higgs ? The LHC goes on in May 2008 , there is less than a month to stop it , but it shouldnt be allowed to continue. Spread the word.
