PARTICLE ACCELERATORS COULD CREATE MICROSCOPIC BLACK HOLES

When the Large Hadron Collider was switched on in 2008, there were concerns among scientists that the particles, travelling at close to the speed of light, could theoretically produce miniature black holes. So far, no such holes have been created, but it’s definitely possible in theory. Even if a microscopic black hole was created, there would be little to worry about. The black hole would be so small that it would take billions of years for it to consume just one gram of matter.
