Funny.........I was thinking exactly the same thing...........must be 'Leo telepathy'

Actually, they'll find the LHC is an epic waste of money.

Yes, if you had a very small, widescreen monitor.

Scientists do have some idea about what will happen. The black hole will "evaporate" due to Hawking radiation or something like that. What they don't know is what they will see before that happens
This is true...I was oversimplifying Newtonian physics for the benefit of those of us educated in the American educational system...hehehe. 
What I should have done was put a whole lot of 'IFs' in there.In the spirit of the article...IF scientist somehow created a small STABLE blackhole(artificial and 'tuned' somehow) and it managed to gobble up the moon...its effect on the Earth would probably be negligable...so long as it inherited the moons rotation.(so those nasty spumes of radiation at the poles wouldnt be pointed at the Earth)(after a while that might build up to a dangerous level along the Earths path) 
Its event horizon would be too small to gobble up the Earth(a blackhole of the moons mass would be teeny tiny)and it would get any closer for the same reason the moon dosnt fall into the Earth now...they are essentially orbiting around each other at a point in space(somewhere near the Earth)fast enough that they simultaneously are pulling at each other and attempting to fly apart...its balanced.(tho I suspect all orbits are decaying orbits due to entropy and the slow acretion of mass over eons...eventually attraction would overcome velocity) 
I think I read somewhere that even something as massive as our sun wasnt even large enough to form a neutron star.(if it could it would end up about 10 miles in diameter I think)So I dont know what the minimum mass is for a blackhole is...not sure if the entire mass of the solar system would be enough...I doubt it would be. [e digicons](\
(\[/e]
Heres something I never quite understood about blackhole theory...they form an acretion disc just outside the event horizon...made up presumably of things that where moving too quickly(or too far away) to get sucked in so the settle into an orbit around the hole.Anything crossing the event horizon is doomed,even light.Yet they always show those jets of radiation spewing out from the poles...I can only guess that it is accumulated energy drawn in by the hole but never crossing the event horizon.Possibly built up to impossible levels and self 'ignited' before it can be drawn in all the way. 
However it happens...it would make for one hell of a pseudo-science,star trek technobabble doomsday weapon.

Plus,I'm no physicist,college dropout...most of my space physics comes from Larry Niven novels.

I was hoping to wake up in another dimension this morning. I was really looking forward to having Bill Gates as my younger Brother. Looks like today is the typical grind as always....

Night Train and just how do you know that you are not in another dimenstion this morning? 
Maybe the signs that things have changed may not be all that easy to see. I wonder.

To all the retards that said the world would cease to exist when they fired this beast up...

They ran two beams today but did not crash The protons yet or whatever there trying to colide. That wont happen for a couple of weeks or so.
Your Day with Bill Gates as your brother may still come. OR Not

And, it'll take an entire year for this monster to spool up to full power!
