My last post was about a super massive black hole in the Milky way galaxy.This post is about a possibility of creating tiny little micro black hole on our Earth. There are many interesting discussions going on about the safety of LHC(Large Hadron Collider) in Geveva, world largest particle accelerator. A recent article tittled as "The end of the world at the Large Hadron Collider" gives the summery of speculation theories.
Even though physicists are NOT denying the possibility of creating micro black hole at LHC, they say its not dangerous since it will undergo self destruction immediately by emitting Hawking radiation.
I would also like to record my point of view in this regard. The main purpose of LHC is to verify several theories mostly particle physics and quantum gravity theories. Until now most theoretical models were accepted because of two facts. First they could explain the phenomena in a correct way, second there is no counter example which means its NOT disproved. The reason for the second fact is that we don't have enough experimental facilities to do controlled experiments in quantum scale in order to verify a theory. So for the first time they are going to test and verify their theories at LHC by doing some quantum mechanical experiments. We believe that our theories could better explain the nature, but the non intuitive outcome of quantum mechanical experiments always surprised the mankind several time.
As a bottom line, I would like to mention one thing " The only thing predictable in the nature(I mean in quantum world) is its UNPREDICTABILITY". Let us hope and wish safe experiments at LHC and I am looking forward to see mBH at LHC.
