Of course they need a bigger one. They haven’t spontaneously created a world-ending black hole yet.

(Actually? They should build one looping around the meridians. Maybe build a turret at each pole. You know. In case aliens show up. )

Unironically, getting to watch short-lived black holes explode could be really, really useful.

But no, the larger one on the picture isn't anything near big enough for that.

Didn’t stop some fearmongering from the last one that went operational.

“The new supercollider could cause BlAcK hOLeS; ExPeRtS SaY!!!1!1!1!1!2!?3!!4!!!”

Honestly, I would love a slow-mo guys style video of a bunch of ~~nerds~~very professional researchers smashing microsingularities into random ~~fruit~~ targets.

I assume it would be fairly boring without some massive magnification… but ya know….
