It is extremely unlikely that a "black hole" could be created that got out of containment.

Mind you, the possibility of that happening is not zero, just very close to zero. Wink

The tiny almost mass less black holes they create
disappear straight away.
It's those stable strangelet particles that work the same way as
a black hole that worry me.
And - they want to make the LHC, 4 times more powerful!

Bob , these energy levels are infinitesimal on a cosmic level. they wouldn't tickle a black holes hymen Cheesy

But they don't appear on Earth except for the occasional
high energy cosmic rays in the form of protons colliding
with our atmosphere.
Yes - some of them have been recorded with 7 times the energy of the LHC.

Did you watch the video above?

Demon Core: The Unused Third Atomic Bomb of WW2

Scientists were playing around with an atomic bomb core of plutonium.

If you stand around watching a chain reaction that spews high energy particles at you... you will die. There is no "demon" about it. It was just a case of "shite happened".

It goes to show that scientists can be wrong about the dangers of
the nuclear physics they play with.

Not wrong. They were at the cutting edge of a new science that was not fully understood and under pressure to win a war.

Disagreement isn't an argument.

It's not an example of a smoking gun.

Very funny -
do you actually understand what they were doing?
I repeat it below for you.

Demon Core: The Unused Third Atomic Bomb of WW2

Dark Docs
Published on Mar 14, 2019
The desert can hold many secrets. The desert near Los Alamos in New Mexico just after World War 2 held perhaps the biggest secret of them all. Learn more about the Most Dangerous Science Experiment in the World with another Dark Docs presented by Dark5.

May 21st, 1946. A top-secret laboratory. A group of scientists look on as one of their colleagues, a Canadian named Louis Slotin, conducts a demonstration. Slotin hovers over a strange object, which sits on display on a small table in front of the crowd of onlookers. The object looks like a metal sphere, nested inside a more substantial metal hemisphere like an egg in a nest. But this metal device contains a terrifying potential. Why? Because it is nothing less than the exposed core of a nuclear bomb, and the egg at the center is an orb of pure plutonium. Imagine being in that room. You probably would have heard a pin drop, such was the intense atmosphere. Slotin’s demonstration was a risky one. The operation he was performing had an ominous nickname among the group – they dubbed it [quote] “tickling the dragon’s tail.”

CERN’s Ambitious Plan to Build the Largest Particle Smasher Ever.

Published on May 30, 2019

The LHC is the world’s largest particle collider, but has it hit its limit? An international community of physicists are calling for a new CERN “discovery machine” that can reach even higher collision energies and potentially unlock the biggest mysteries of our universe.

Next-generation LHC: CERN lays out plans for €21-billion supercollider
https://www.nature.com/articles/d4158...
“The document offers several preliminary designs for a Future Circular Collider (FCC) — which would be the most powerful particle smasher ever built — with different types of collider ranging in cost from around €9 billion (US$10.2 billion) to €21 billion. It is the lab’s opening bid in a priority-setting process called the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update, which will take place over the next two years and will affect the field’s future well into the second half of the century.”

How to make a Higgs boson
https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/arti...
“It doesn’t seem like collisions of particles with no mass should be able to produce the “mass-giving” boson, the Higgs. But every other second at the LHC, they do.”

The Physics Still Hiding in the Higgs Boson
https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-ph...
“But physicists understand little about the omnipresent Higgs field, or the fateful moment in the early universe when it suddenly shifted from having zero value everywhere (or in other words, not existing) into its current, uniformly valued state. That shift, or “symmetry-breaking” event, instantly rendered quarks, electrons and many other fundamental particles massive, which led them to form atoms and all the other structures seen in the cosmos.”

CERN's Large Hadron Collider will NOT destroy our planet. But many of you asked about it - and the "scenarios" are a good excuse to discuss some cool physics.

Dr Tony Padilla discusses a few doomsday theories from the very centre of the famed accelerator ring. Stand back and keep an eye out for black holes and strangelets!!!

Cern's LHC clearly affects the Earth's magnetism what sort of ramifications this has on planet Earth its weather and all the other cycles is anybody's guess.
