The Large Hadron Collider may produce a black hole.Anything which comes within the reach of it's "event horizon" will fall into the gravitational field and increase the density and cause the hole to intensify it's strength.It is supposed to wink in and wink out.However,if there is anything within reach,it will pull it in and gain strength.The scientists say that the vacumn is greater than that of space,that is highly improbable.They say that there will be nothing for the black hole to "feed upon".

Gravity is one of the fields which scientists have not completely conquered.For them to say that everything is perfectly safe,that we can actually create a black hole within a super collider,and not suffer any anomalies is just slightly dangerous.We see "black holes" in space.Now astronomers see them at the center of galaxies.What if the various black holes which have been identified were not all formed by nature.What if each civilization throughout the universe reached the point which at which we have now arrived.And some of them proceeded towards the experimental goals.And the atomic level black hole grew out of control.Pulling in sub-atomic particles at first,and then quickly gaining density,began to pull the facility itself into the event horizon.Each atom adding mass and density to the hole,which now grows out of proportion and beyond the ability of anyone or anything to reverse the process.

True,this experiment will occur within a magnetic field which will provide a vacumn more perfect than that of space itself.Yet these black holes occur in space,after they are created,by the collapse of a star.True,this is a much greater amount of material than will be dealt with in the Hadron Collider.Yet,this mini black hole will be created within the gravitational field of the Earth.The mass of the Earth and the gravitational properties of the planet itself may cause some as yet unforseen occurance.The possibility that it may not "wink out"should be enough to cause more deliberation amongst leading physicists.This is not the loss of a facility.This is the potential extinction and erasure of an entire solar system and eventually,the galaxy which revolves at it's center.Absolute nothingness.No trace of man.No archeology,oceanography,art,poetry,religions.Everyth ing is swept away into a cosmic vortex.

References to the Mayan calender at first seem ridiculous.My imediate response is that they simply did not have a large enough rock to continue the calender onward past 2012.Yet,
