A lab-grown black hole allows scientists to miscalculate and destroy the entire Earth.
Anything is possible, but the question is whether it is likely. Still, it’s not that weird at all. Earlier, in the thirties of the last century, there was also such a moment. Then physicists working with Einstein on the atomic bomb wondered whether exploding such a bomb would eventually set the Earth’s atmosphere on fire and destroy the entire planet. According to their own calculations, this was not the case and they moved on.
Scientists Destroying the Earth
The same thing happened when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) went online in 2008. Scientists sparked the media’s curiosity by stating that the lab may be able to create microscopic black holes. But aren’t we playing with fire here? Can’t these kinds of small black holes cause us big problems?
The answer to those questions was and remains: almost certainly not. Maybe the LHC will eventually create microscopic black holes and maybe not. Also, earlier already described in a Forbes article that we live with much bigger threats.
Opportunity
So the chance is very small that we will be sucked in by a black hole. If these black holes existed, they would have bombed the Earth (and all the planets) throughout the history of our solar system, as well as the sun, and there is absolutely no evidence that any body in our solar system was ever a black hole or was eaten. by a. So the scientists are happily continuing to artificially create tiny black holes.
