Micro-Black Holes Make Poor Planet Killers

astroengine writes "Physicists are getting excited about the possibility of micro-black holes (MBH) being produced by the LHC and an international group of researchers have done the math to see what kind of impact they could have on the Earth. Unfortunately, if you're a megalomaniac looking for your next globe-eating weapon, you can scrub MBHs off your WMD list. If a speedy MBH is produced, flying through our planet, it will only have a few seconds to accrete the mass of a few atoms. It would then be lost to space where it will evaporate. If a slow MBH is produced, dropping into the Earth where it sits for a few billion years, the results are even more boring."

You seem intrigued in micro black holes. Now that you are interested in girls, try the front.

Well, the "more suck" theory would probably work for men too...

Don't you hate it when you're the 2nd person to comment on a story, but the 1st comment gets replied to so many times, you're pushed so far down you get rated redundant... Thus I give you the slashdot comment system
