Just in case anyone thinks I'm being serious about the world ending:

One reason the LHC has gotten a lot of press recently is that word started to get around that it was technically possible that when the device turned on for the first time, it could create miniature black holes. You hear the word “black hole” and you immediately think end of the world, but any black hole the LHC could create would likely be so small and destroy itself instantaneously that no one would ever notice it.
The likelihood of the LHC creating a stable black hole that could destroy the world is 10 to the negative 25th power, according to Cosmic Variance’s list. For some perspective, the likelihood of finding God is 10 to the negative 20th power, according to the same list.

The Large Hadron Collider was tested this weekend and a black hole hasn’t destroyed the Earth…yet » VentureBeat
