Oh, please... we completely debunked that idea in my physics class last week. For anyone who’s interested, the Schwarzchild radius of a black hole is 2GM/(c^2), where G is Newton’s constant for gravity, M is the total mass of the two particles in question, and c is the speed of light (I’m currently too tired to look up the specifics of the particles being smashed together, but if anyone’s interested that’s the math). Heck, if the Schwarzchild radius is smaller than the radius of the particles, I don’t think a black hole would form at all.

Thats what I’ve been trying to tell everybody.

Tev is the lifetime of a black hole
Mo is the mass in Kg of the black hole

Tev = Mo^3 * 2.66x10^(-24)(yr/kg)

a black hole of mass 2.28.10^5 kg
would have a life time of 1 second
and detonate with a peak wattage of
6.84.10^21 watts

A particle with 10^12ev energy would not last
the time for a photon to go across this room

Except - electrons are black holes that have finished evaporating - and - nobody can explain why protons don’t split into smaller particles. So actually, the universe is *more* stable than theory would imply.
