Unless my calculations are wrong, you posted this poll less than an hour after the test was sucessfully completed.  Either that, or it totally messed up the time axis.

Edit:  Just read that this test didn't involve any collisions, so the real black hole test won't happen until sometime in the future.

I predicted that it would create a black hole and suck in our whole solar system.  This guy is an amateur.

They only let a proton run a couple of circles.

That's safe enough.

The real thing (collisions) won't be happening until a couple of weeks.

Since I'm closer to it, I'll give you a heads-up if things go wrong so you can find a safe place.....o well not really eh ;)

Ya all should be reassured that if mini black holes are created and they fall to the earth's center and grow and eat the planet.....it'll take months, maybe years....plenty of time to relish the doom.

Yeah, and we'll get eaten feet first.  More time to realize the issue.

This video illustrates why Gordon Freeman with a crowbar is a force to be reckoned with:
