I saw a French scientist on the Science Chanel the other day talking about the black holes. As an off the cuff comment he said that it was almost certain that the black holes would last only a tiny fraction of a second. ALMOST CERTAIN. You know when dealing with the end of the world I would really appreciate if they would check the math just one more time. But seriously this thing is one monster of a machine.

“Almost certain” was about the same answer that J. Robert Oppenheimer gave when he asked if the nuclear bomb tests he did for Project Manhattan would set off the entire world.

"Almost certain"
I wonder if that certainty is of the same type that spawned the electrical problem. Imagine that a simple 10 cent capacitor might go out and "almost certainly" destroy the planet. Talk about save the planet? Global warming What? SAve us from the scientists.
