The only way for this experiment to go wrong is for hawking to have wrongly predicted the decay rate of a black hole, which in my mind is highly possible but I'm not that smart of a person. If it did go wrong many stray particles could get sucked into this black hole where it would sink to the center of the earth and if the event horizon of the black hole got to be large enough for an atom to get sucked in the united states as well as France would be gone.

Sorry folks, I was just being playful. Hope it doesn't go awry.

Yup. I expect we'll see protest marches next year in an attempt to stop this experiment.
