I guess that millions of people are worried that the world is going to end thanks to the Large Hadron Collider.
According to Ethan Seigel over at Starts With a Bang we don't have to worry. He has done the calculations to figure out how massive a black hole would be created, and how much of the Earth it would consume if it fell down into the planet. He also calculates how long it should last before evaporating away. Check the numbers on his website. Apparently, we can plan our holidays for the rest of our lives without the fear of being swallowed while laying on a beach...
