the only black holes they have the power to make are ones identical to the trillions of them appearing in the upper atmosphere right now from cosmic ray collisions with atoms and particles in the atmosphere. Those cosmic ray collisions are more energetic than the best man made collider can hope to provide. such blackholes have so little energy/mass that they cannot exist long enough to eat something. so they evaporate harmlessly. they starve to death. there is no way to extend their existence at all either accidentally or by intentionally trying to do so. they are doomed from the very start. so any accelerator black hole is perfectly harmless.

As an uninformed person i do not like it when they make mini black holes .
Lol and most of them on ats

Eventually atoms are formed, then molecules, then finally after a few years we get dimwits sitting in front of a computer all day!

a cosmic ray is typically a heavy nuclei with a lot of velocity.
the stuff they use in the colliders is typically a heavy nuclei or else just a proton or electron or similar particles. anyway they bang their machine produced heavy nuclei into a target usually compose of a specific element in order to get collision between heavy nuclei or else the run two beams of accelerated heavy nuclei at each other.
Amazing stuff - didn't know that those collisions were considered black holes. Do you have a few references or a slow motion example of how it happens i.e. how the energy of the collision forms the black hole? Is it possible for several collisions to "merge" as a function of the atoms and particles being close to each other giving more energy to the black hole? What type of detection equipment is used to observe the events? Thanks.
it is either that or black holes cannot be created that way at all. yeah. a black hole loses energy by a process analogous to evaporation. so the idea is that since it is born starving (with a miniscule mass) and with so little time to have a meal they all die.

Thanks for the explanation. So the black holes are created as a function of energy - would these black holes in the atmosphere be considered mini black holes that are of minimum mass? Is that why they're unstable and disappear instantaneously?

yeah, they do this a lot already with satellites, instruments on the ISS and balloons and sounding rockets with detectors to detect cosmic ray events.

This is probably a real stupid question, but why wouldn't they conduct these experiments in space - say from a satellite that was equipped with similar detectors as the LHC? Would it be impossible due to the huge energies of the cosmic ray collisions with nuclei? It seems as though you would get a lot more information from the actual collisions rather than mimicking them on Earth.
