The papers are blowing this out of proportion, cause they're calling it the end of the world next Wednesday. Yes, there is a large amount of energy being used, and at a very fast acceleration, with potential to cause this, but that is only with a major major fuck up. Am I right?

a black hole will NOT be created... i think they said that there's more chance of somebody getting hit by lightening 20 times than something going wrong :/

Micro black holes, are a high possibility

The strangelet thing I guess is also unlikely, but if it were true, then we've already been in contact with those too, from what I understand.

Anyway, IF a micro black hole were to collect matter (which is unlikely and would only happen if it failed to escape gravity, which is unlikely and would only happen if it were to move unnaturally slow, which is also unlikely and would only be noticed if it survives Hawking Radiation, which is also unlikely, and would only happen if the LHC were even capable of creating micro black holes, which is impossible unless you agree with an alternate model than the standard model of the LHC which, as far as I understand, is only an idea at this point) Then it would not destroy the planet, but cause a massive explosion.  Still devestating, but HIGHLY unlikely and not planet-threatening.

Not only that, but they kind of WANT them to be created, gravitons are a possible outcome of those micro black holes, and if gravitons are found, it will pretty much prove M-theory.
They are also looking for Higgs bosons [that make up the Higgs field], which again, would basically prove M-theory if discovered. Not only that, but can you imagine what kind of discover that is? That no where in space is there nothing.
That the universe is totally filled, and that we are moving through an ocean of particles, similar to the idea of the Luminiferous Aether.

The possibilities of this catastrophic explosion aren't really what concerns people. They are obsessed with the fact that there is a possibility of the micro-black holes being created and then stabilizing. They are also afraid of the fact that we really don't know what will happen. Kind of like one of those lone red buttons in a room, you just can't NOT push it.
