In theory you could harvest Hawking radiation from a black hole or feed it stuff and used the radiant X-rays and heat for power. Sure, everyone would be in terrible terrible danger, but you could still do it.
It is true that large black holes are commonly formed by the collapse of big, dense stars but the star's ability to produce energy is irrelevant. Microblack holes require large amounts of energy but hardly the energy of a star.

A juvenal prank.
don't believe the hype. If risk associated with this, and your desire to avoid it, were applied to life you would never get out of bed, as it is way more likely that you will fall and break your neck as you get up.
You are then posed with a strange conundrum, as getting into bed would prove far more dangerous than the LHC...
**** your sources. Black Holes aren't giant batteries, people. It's a huge ass void in space that sucks up and presumably dematerializes anything it takes(though that is debatable). Making a Black Hole is like making a giant gun and aiming it at earth.
You're trying to make a point, but in a roundabout way you're saying that they're creating a black hole, which was the discussion in the first place.
On the grounds of common sense? No. I have met someone who, scientifically, was beyond and term for smart ever created. However, the guy didn't know when to stop.
No, that's exactly what you said. You just didn't mean it like that, even though THIS ENTIRE THREAD IS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD MAKE A BLACK HOLE.
And why does that matter? Your entire argument is ridiculous. I know enough about science to know that a Black Hole is bad news, and they know that too. They just want to make 'discoveries' at the cost of people.
hence the entire thread is based upon a misconception of how the LHC works, meaning that I am not saying they are trying to make a black hole, but in fact that the people discussing the issue are not well enough informed about the science
aside from the unscientific tone of that statement, it is entirely incorrect. Black holes, as impossibly unlikely as they are from this experiment, would not pose any danger to anyone on earth
And that right there is what's wrong. You have no idea what the argument's about.
That doesn't mean that it is harmless. The amount of quarks, a stabilization when it comes to certain particles(believed to be what stabilizes Black Holes into existence to a small extent), can't be measured on our planet. He is only giving a hypothetical result on location and timing.
Says the pot to the kettle, considering I just explained to you a form of black hole stabilization. You only say this insult because you have no argument against my proof.
Dumbass.
