• Question: I know that some of you work with the hydron particle accelerator and i was wondering, If you can make black hole with it will you in the future be able to condense it into a smaller version and create a black hole launcher, i feel this would be a great addition to science and would help us advance further into the future and discover the true devestation and a smaller scale of blackholes.

      Some experiments on the Large Hadron Collider do produce “micro” black holes. These are tiny droplets with very high gravitational force. As with other discoveries, we might eventually be able to have a micro black hole factory where we can produce them in order to study them better. This is something we do with Antimatter. We have an Antimatter Factory here at CERN and we are able to produce anti-hydrogen whenever we like 🙂
