Today on Sci Fi there was a movie called "Black Hole". The theory was that they were working on the creation of a Heavy Ion Collider. More info about what a HIC is here.

The scary thing about this movie was is that we ACTUALLY do have labs and universites working on creating a HIC which in theory MAY result in a black hole.

"Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000" is working on creaing HIC.

The scary theory is that this construcion may result in a heavy ion collision. To sum it up they collide heavy ions together. Heavy ions are infact atoms which have had their outer cloud of electrons removed.

What RHIC does (the link i gave above) is collides two beams of gold ions head-on when they're traveling at nearly the speed of light (what Einstein called relativistic speeds). So in theory this is very dangerous experiments.
Heres a link that explains more of which RHIC does.

To sum this up, what they are trying to achieve is new extreme energy for possible space crafts.

Now my question is this, do you think according to the Sci Fi movie, Black Hole, this is a reality, and if so do you think this could result in a real black hole?

It has already been done....In my opinion

news.bbc.co.uk...

Other researchers will be doing experiments in the creation of black holes as well. though they aren't quite sure in the article above all the math indicates they did this.
