A) Actually the scientists there are thinking that black holes will be created during the experiment, but they will be so small and unstable that they will disappear instantly.
B) You can neither see a black hole, nor will it be painful to fall into one. All your atoms will be ripped apart at the speed of light. Whether they rearrange on the other side is another matter....
C) This experiment isn't just to find the Higgs Particle. Some "spin-off" results could mean cures for cancer, plus a way to dispose of nuclear waste cleanly.
thats nice.
A. they still have no real idea what will happen. no one has ever created a black hole, so how can there be any predictions as to the outcome of having created one.
B. relevance? what does it matter if it hurts or not? you still no longer exist.
C. what if the cure is worse than the disease.
and to Ditocoaf, i say this:
there have been some "good" inventions. I don't consider the automobile, cloning or the Nuclear bomb to be considered among the greatest of man's achievements. once something is learned, it cannot be unlearned, nor can it be kept from the general populous. there are some things that should not be tampered with.
