Are scientist creating a black hole?

A teacher of mine told me that scientist in switzerland were launching a machine on september 10 thats supposed to disprove the theory that 2 objects cannot be in the same space at the same time.He said if something goes wrong than a black hole will be created and everyone dies.Is this true or a myth?Are scientist creating a black hole?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator complex, lying in a 17-mile loop under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics.





The collider is currently undergoing commissioning. Initial particle beam injections were successfully carried out August 8-11, 2008. The first attempt to circulate a beam through the entire LHC is scheduled for September 10, 2008. The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after October 21, 2008 (so, if any, Oct. 21 will the date to be be concerned, not Sept. 10).

Though I am not a physicist, and do not claim to understand half of what's been written about the LHC, a number of very intelligent scientists say that any strange effects (black holes, antimatter, etc.) should be miniscule and short-lived. That said, scientists have been wrong before, so I'll be hiding under my desk oct. 21 8-)





Are scientist creating a black hole?
It's partly true. There is a large machine in France and Switzerland (it straddles the border) which will be boosted up on September 10 and will collide proton streams in order to produce very high energy levels in a small area. It is possible that this device, called the Large Hadron Collider or LHC, will produce black holes, if not on September 10 then maybe later. However, the chances of these black holes destroying the Earth are very, very small; Stephen Hawking showed mathematically that black holes of this size should explode almost instantly before being able to suck in more than a few nearby particles, and even if his equations were wrong, cosmic rays bombarding our atmosphere have been creating similar energy levels for billions of years anyway. In other words, if the LHC was capable of destroying the world, nature would already have done so long before we came into existence. As a matter of fact, scientists would be very excited to make black holes in the device, because doing so would allow them to take measurements to further our understanding of the Universe. They are also hoping that they may detect the Higgs boson, a particle which theoretically should give other particles mass but which so far has never actually been observed.
The LHC has the potential to create micro-black holes but the odds of that happening are super remote, the micro-black holes will be about as small as a photon and can't even eat a speck of dust so there is nothing to feed the black hole inside it's magnetic containment, beside they would only exist for a fraction of a second and would disappear into nothing.
