'The case for mini black holes' - CERN Courier: "...the 14 TeV centre-of-mass energy of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) could allow it to become a black-hole factory with a production rate as high as about one per second." 'Physicists Finally Find a Way To Test Superstring Theory' - New York Times: "In fact, it might be possible to concentrate so many heavy gravitons into a tiny volume of space that they would collapse in on themselves and create miniature black holes, those cosmic sinkholes from which nothing can escape. Experiments like this will be on the agenda when the Large Hadron Collider begins operation in five or six years at the CERN accelerator center in Geneva. ''These black holes should be quite safe,'' Dr. Giddings said,..." Micro Black Holes @ Wikipedia: "Accordingly, it remains a possibility that a stable micro black hole could be created at the LHC..." RHIC 'Fireball' 2001 Collider Incident: ""We argue that the fireball observed at RHIC is (the analog of) a dual black hole.” The RHIC fireball as a dual black hole, and Nobel laureate Dr. Eric A. Cornell, does not rule out the possibility of stable micro black hole creation after an unexpected bosenova implosion at the university of Colorado." "According to other reports, close to half the atoms could not be accounted for, suggesting that if a micro black hole was the explanation for the missing atoms, then the micro black hole was a STABLE micro black hole AND the cold remnant was far larger than could be explained. Dr. Cornell does not have a good explaination for what happened, and he thinks a stable micro black hole is a less likely explanation, but he does not reasonably rule this possibility out, that a stable micro black hole might have been created." 'Implosion and explosion of a Bose-Einstein condensate "Bosenova"' - NIST.gov(Natl' Inst. of Standards and Technology): "The condensate first shrinks as expected, but rather than gradually clumping together in a mass, there is instead a sudden explosion of atoms outward. This "explosion," which actually corresponds to a tiny amount of energy by normal standards, continues for a few thousandths of a second. Left behind is a small cold remnant condensate surrounded by the expanding gas of the explosion. About half the original atoms in the condensate seem to have vanished in that they are not seen in either the remnant or the expanding gas cloud. Since the phenomenon looks very much like a tiny supernova, or exploding star, the JILA team dubbed it a "Bosenova." The most surprising thing about the Bosenova is that the fundamental physical process behind the explosion is still a mystery" 'Capturing the "Holy Grail"' - NIST.gov(Natl' Inst. of Standards and Technology). "In July 2001, Cornell and Wieman were part of a CU-Boulder/JILA team that was able to make a BEC shrink—an event which was followed by a tiny explosion. The team said the phenomenon was similar in some ways to a microscopic supernova explosion and dubbed it a "Bosenova." About half of the original atoms appear to vanish during the process." 'Maria Spiropulu; Other Dimensions? She's in Pursuit' - New York Times: "If they don't find extra dimensions, physics will find something just as ''crazy,'' either at Fermilab or at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, which will turn on with seven times as much energy in 2007, and may produce miniature black holes, if the theory is right. Dr. Spiropulu said she would move back to Geneva and CERN early next year, where her career began, to help prepare for a revolution she says ''will blow our minds.''" CERN Safety Page: "Microscopic black holes will not eat you..." 'Asking a Judge to Save the World, and Maybe a Whole Lot More' - New York Times: "...anything created when the beams meet head-on in the collider will be born at rest relative to the laboratory and so will stick around and thus could create havoc."
