How will we know if the worst case happens? Or will it all be over before we even sense anything?

I’m not ready for the world to end today, thank you very much.

Think of where you will be in the twinkle of an eye.

The CERN LHC isn't considered to be nearly large or powerful enough to create a micro black hole. If one did manage to get created, it would almost certainly disintegrate immediately. If a micro black hole somehow defied these odds, it's effect on the earth would take a relatively long time to become noticeable - long enough for all of us to realize what was happening.

But it's worth noting that particle collisions equal in power to what the LHC will achieve happen in our atmosphere regularly due to cosmic ray activity - and we're all still here.

The fact that the world didn't end, means that the Cubs will not win the World Series.
