Is it plasma yet!

 

That's what the black hole is for.

 

You laugh about a black hole, but what if they really do create one sometime?

 

wtf can you do, throw a blanket over it?

it's a BLACK HOLE!

 

It would evaporate.

 

Does it matter?

get it? Matter....

seriously tho, if it did happen you wouldn't even know. So quit fretting.

 

Despite the ridiculous assertions of "scientists," it'd take a lot more mass than they have at their disposal to create a "black hole." Contrary to popular theory, you can't create a black hole the size of a pinhead. It takes at least 4-5 times the mass of our sun to create a black hole in "nature," under ideal conditions and left over after a supernova-level explosion. It is unclear how a European laboratory would get that much material inside their collider under appropriate conditions, mad scientists or no.

On the other hand, whenever the collective heads of Homeland Security put their heads together, the effect is very similar.

 

Cosmic rays are hitting our upper atmosphere all the time at higher energy levels than the LHC will ever be able to achieve. We simply don't have detectors up there, and have no way of knowing when and where such a high-energy collision will take place. Therefore we build machines on the ground with which we can control the particulars of such particle collisions.

Worrying about the LHC causing any issue when we have much more energetic collisions happening all the time not that far away is like worrying about concussions from sitting on the couch yet you go out and play in traffic on the Interstate.

And there's no reason micro black holes couldn't exist and aren't produced in nature all the time via high-energy particle collisions, depending on how many dimensions your model posits for the universe. They'd just evaporate very very quickly.
