If a single black hole forms, won't it collide with other protons?

And wouldn't that effect be additive since it's a black hole?

I'm convinced this black hole nonsense
was invented by CERN's PR department,
to make a boring and excessively expensive experiment
sound interesting and worth-while.

I'm convinced it has been created and found its way to the stock market.

Didn't Fermi have a big safe on a rope whose purpose was to swing
down and smash the reactor if the reaction got uncontrolled?

Is that the kind of "science" we're dealing with here?

Weren't there concerns that the first H-bomb might start
an uncontrolled chain reaction in the atmosphere and destroy
the Earth?

Some of the scientists had feared that the temperature of the bomb may
start the oxidation of nitrogen, e.g. N2 + O2 -> 2 NO, in such an
extend, that this reaction may go on to burn the whole atmosphere.
Studying historical sources it seems, they hasn't been sure that this
armageddon wouldn't happen.

Probably somebody said "get real" and that allayed their fears,
so they went ahead and proved it wouldn't happen by trying it.






How did they resolve that? By trying it?

It's a sad fact that "science" is replete with such nonsense.
Maybe the anti-science trolls are just taking advantage of
that fact, but it certainly doesn't help when dumb-asses
like Dr. Ivan D. Reid try to dismiss legitimate concerns.

They have a responsibility to explain why such concerns are
deemed unnecessary and not simple shout "get real".- Hide quoted text -
