    Seems impossible to have a black hole that is "small". Aren't ALL black holes small being that they are supposedly giant stars crushed down to the size of something smaller than a pin head?. I think what they mean to say is creating a "weak black hole". And it better be weak. Probably, the best way to tell if they get this thing off the ground is, when they'd create it, you'd suddenly feel like you gained a million pounds, and, when you looked at the ground, you saw your lips at your belly button, like when riding the "Hammer Head" at some cheap amusement park.

      Nah, Mut... not all black holes. Super massive black holes aren't so small, if I remember correctly. Then again the extra mass of the black hole may not be contributing to its size. But I'm pretty sure it does, if not as much as that much mass would contribute if it was the density of the Earth.

    I think they should think this over a little...

    What are the benefits of proving this particle exists? If it can lead to some amazing breakthroughs in technology and such that are really that incredible than maybe. But I don't think risking the end of life is worth it if they're just trying to prove it for the sake of proving it.

    Small black holes do have as small chance of occurring and are actually hoped for. Such black holes would last for a nanosecond or so and have an infinitesimal mass. The real 'danger' is a one-in-a-googol possibility that the LHD will trigger a cascade that will nullify the entire universe.

  Strange that an atheist would refer to his particle using the adjective "God".

  If he doesn't believe in the existence of God then is he also saying his particle doesn't exist?

    I think it's one of those paradoxes, like saying, "Thank God I'm an atheist".

    Einstein used the word 'God' on occasion, usually in reference to something 'ultimate'. The search is for a particle that may unify theoretical physics. 'God' in this sense designates something really, really important.

    In short, if scientists find the 'God' particle, it doesn't mean God exists. Sorry.
