"If the LHC were to make microscopic black holes, it would be tremendously exciting — and no danger," quote from on scientist on an NBC report on the LHC. - The first thing they'll be looking for is the Higgs boson, the theoretical very large particle, for the proposed Higgs field. I wish the larger Texas collider had been finished, with a 27 mile diameter. It would have found a lot more particle beasties that the LHC will, but this is a great advance, and the results will take years to sort out.
