Apparently when they were going to run it for one of the first times, a bird dropped a bit of bread into a critical fans vent and caused them to abort.

@Keith Mowz  
Tell me more about the bird story

@Eeveeinheat  
Well, I’ve reassured myself of this discovery now.

@Deon Miller  
Science is just a tool to discover knowledge. If that scares you, then you might need to rethink your priorities. The only scientific field that should scare you is anything to do with self-replicating machines.

@Eeveeinheat  
sighs It’s just…….science sometimes sares me. I was worried the first time I heard about this to tell you the truth.

@Deon Miller  
Your comment doesn’t seem to relate to my comment in any way. I’m a bit confused by your thought process. Care to explain why you think I needed to be told we should be safe?

@Deon Miller  
Plus, again, that’s having a laughably ignorant idea of how black holes work. In oversimplified terms, ‘creating a black hole’ that could do that would mean grabbing an entire goddamn STAR’S worth of matter and squishing it into a tiny ball. It’s not like “whoops, I poked a hole in space”.

@Eeveeinheat  
We should be safe. No human being would be that moronic to make a black hole that would suck up the entire planet. That’s like the President stupidly pressing the nuke button.

@Deon Miller  
That is the process by which said black holes evaporate, yes.

@Keith Mowz  
Unless…..Hawking radiation.

@Keith Mowz  
Yep.

@Keith Mowz  

Black holes work by having so much mass in such a small space, the gravitational force overcomes the nuclear forces and not even light can travel with enough velocity to escape from it once it enters it’s gravitational field. Even if you compressed the entire mass of the earth down into a singularity, it would only have a schwartzchild radius of less than a centimeter. Any black holes you could theoretically create by banging a couple atomic nuclei together is going to be mind-bogglingly insignificant in mass and therefore size it would instantly evaporate.

@Eeveeinheat  
Sorry. Just got excited there. What was I thinking?

@Deon Miller  
No? I said it’s literally impossible with our current technology, or any technology we know how to make.

@Eeveeinheat  
So we’re going to die?

@Deon Miller  
I’m just confused on why you put impossible there at all, even in quotes. It just makes the sentence a bit confusing. With the addition of impossible with quotes, the intention of the comment becomes slightly more vague than I imagine you intended.
 
But yeah, it is literally impossible, as any black hole that humanity could ever create with any sized particle accelerator would be too weak to affect anything before evaporating.

@Eeveeinheat  
So you’resaying it is?

@Deon Miller  
I don’t know why you put impossible in quotes when it is impossible.

You do know they’re not making a black hole that will “impossibly” swallow up the whole planet, right?

Wasn’t a person shot by one?

Damn. You guys already beat me to everything. XD Nice!

“Can this thing open portals to other worlds?”  
“Yes, but we’d rather not talk about that. Not after the incident a few years ago.”

“Supercollider? I hardly know her!”

My name is Wesley Weasel, and I am the fastest Weasel alive. When I was a kit I saw my mother killed by something impossible, my father went to the pound for her murder, then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world I’m an ordinary scurrying Weasel, but secretly I use my speed to fight animals and find other Weasels like me, and one day, I’ll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am the THE WEASEL!

I hunted down the weasel that killed my mother but in doing so I opened up our world to new threats, and I am the only one fast enough to stop them. I am #THE #WEASEL!
