What do you guys think, will this create a black hole and kill us all?

Question

I hope not.

Answer 1

no. im honestly really sick of these questions, so im giving the same answer to every one.

NO.

ENERGY NEEDED FOR A PARTICLE TO CREATE A BLACK HOLE = 1.22 x 10^19 GeV

MAXIMUM ENERGY THE LHC CAN PRODUCE = 1.22 x 10^6 GeV.

DIFFERENCE = 1.22 x 10^19. its actually 12 199 999 999 998 810 000, but there was really no change. so the LHC doesnt have nearly enough energy to create a black hole. in fact, the energy needed to create a black hole is 10 252 100 840 336.135 times more than the LHC can produce. thats 10 trillion. the LHC would need to multiply its current maximum power by 10 trillion to create a black hole.

a particle accelerator powerful enough to create a black hole would need to be larger than the solar system, and thats the lower bound. some have even gone as far as it needing to be a thousand light years in diameter.

Answer 2

If a black hole could exist and an atom sized one could exist.

  When it came into existence it would develop a gravitational field that would expand radially at the speed of light.

  This would have the effect of a small particle of matter hitting the earth's surface at the speed of light and destroy the earth in a fraction of a second.

  But it won't and can't happen.

Answer 3

While the particle created might have the same density as a black hole, it won't have the same mass. Unless it has enormous mass too it isn't a black hole and will evaporate in an instant.

Answer 4

Probably not, even if it did make a black hole it would be small and transient.  Don't Worry!!!

Answer 5

I feel that there isn't a possibility to "create" a black hole of significant proportion to actually harm anyone, or swallow anything.  I feel that you, nor anyone else, needs to worry about it at all.  

The Universe, it is thought, was created by the "Big Bang" and it created huge "black holes", some so huge that they can even "swallow" actual stars, which are huge in their own right!  However, no matter how it's been tried (and it has, I think somewhere in New York and also in Switzerland) a black hole of significant proportion can't be produced by man, not even for study before it actually disintegrates.  I've heard that there are scientists who would love to study the properties of these tiny, tiny black holes even though they disintegrated.

Answer 6

Particles from space sometimes collide with greater energy in earth's atmosphere than they every will at the LHC; therefore, if such collisions were likely to destroy the world, it would have already happened.
