Could that machine actaully suck us all into a black hole?
I hate to piss on the techno-phobic fear monger parade (saw a parade, had to pee), but… Any black hole created by slamming sub-atomic particles into each other will have the same mass as the particles involved (minus the energy radiated by the impact). Having the same mass, it will also have the same gravity (the most sensitive scale in the world would not register the change in weight if right next to the collision). Having such a tiny mass would also mean that any black hole created would also likely evaporate in a tiny fraction of a second (by radiating it’s mass as electro-magnetic energy). Even in the extremely unlikely event that such a black hole becomes stable, it will still only have the mass, and thus gravity of the particles involved (minus energy radiated), aka: no one will ever suffer adverse affects from this experiment. In fact we would probably gain a fantastic source of environmentally friendly energy from any stable black hole created. Any mass sucked in would be in
