It's gonna be a litte outdated question but why when CERN

What? It is possible to create a black hole, but I don't think that it will suck the world in. I'm laughing hard right now xD

theoretical physics not even once

black holes evaporate due to hawking radiation
one the mass of our earth or larger lives practically forver and increases in size (as long it has enough interstellar gas to suck in)

one that weights 1000 tons will evaporate in under two minutes, expelling such mass in such a short time obviosly will produce a huge outwards flow of energy which will prevent any matter getting sucked in to feed the black hole (also its size would be only 10^-12 nanometers)

now they only collide atoms in the LHC, not trucks, so the mass of the black hole would be much smaller, but even at 1 microgramm its radius would be theoretically smaller than a planck length and the lifetime less than the planck time.

So while theoretically it could create mini black holes, there is no way of registering it, even if you collided bricks instead of atoms

>1 in 50 million chance that they might create a black hole, it might bring the end of the universe?

It was 0 in 0 chance, it was never going to happen.

No, blackholes radiate away. Blackholes created in LHC dissipate in nanoseconds

They were talking about the Higgs particle. It's a theoretical particle that would unzip matter in a chain reaction style. It would create a bubble expanding outward at the speed of light that would destroy the entire universe. It's even possible some alien species have achieved this, and there's a universe destroying bubble heading our way at the speed of light but we'd never know.

If the multi verse theory holds true, then CERN really did destroy the universe, in some alternate universe. Consequentially, if you could recreate the Higgs Boson doomsday particle with 100% certainty (not possible BTW, but for arguments sake say it is) then you could effectively create a quantum immortality machine. All you'd need to do is get the machine ready to create the doomsday particle at any moment and set it to a deadman switch that only you can deactivate. In the event of your death, it would simply erase the universe in which you died, making it so the only universes that exist in the multiverse are ones where you are alive...or where the machine fails to activate.

wew lad that's a lot of popsci in one post
