It, in fact, does not have a "25% of creating a Black hole"

I don't get why people can't just leave well enough alone and stop trying to play God.

I don't get why you would characterize trying to get a deeper understanding of the universe as "playing God".

Nothing worth noting will happen. LHC isn't going to create a black hole that will destroy the world. And it will take many, many years before we get final results from the LHC experiments. So yeah, it will be like any other day.

25%? Yeah, OK. I'm pretty sure people would be joining hands around the planet to protest if there was a 1/4 chance we were all going to die.

You know what does scare me?

A small black hole wouldn't really do anything.

But I do think it is very stupid to spend that much money on something like this.

They could've invested it on a research to cure diabetes, cancer, AIDS, and things that do matter.

Look at all the problems discovering the electron has caused....god help us if we discover the cure for cancer, that would just be terrible...

Im pretty sure it isn't a 25% chance. If it was that high I don't think they would risk it. I think it is something like a 0.000034 chance:?

Anyway, I think it is going to be very astounding and interesting what they discover. Science amazes me so much sometimes:P

it's actually more like 0%, seeing as the exact same thing happens in our atmosphere countless times per day.

They said its a 1% chance of a black hole forming,Even if it dose,it would be microscopic and die out in less than a second,CERN said.

It cannot create enough power to generate a self-contained blackhole. The arguments against it are a joke.

Actually I think it would disappear quicker than that. From what I red, if a black hole was about the size of car it would evaporate in one nanosecond. I couldn't even imagine how quickly a microscopic black hole would evaporate.
