Because they say they might create one.mistermack wrote:Seth wrote: Well, the gravity we know about, here, outside of black holes appears to be predictable in this region of space, assuming only four dimensions and no extra dimensions or universes. Then again, as Einstein suggested with respect to the speed of light, these conditions may only be a localized phenomenon. You have no idea what goes on with gravity inside a black hole. In fact, you don't even know what gravity actually is. Neither does science.
By the way, nobody has "seen" Hawking radiation yet. It's still all theoretical.So are micro black holes, you dunderhead !. So why are you shitting yourself?
If the theory might lead to the eventual total destruction of the planet, yes, I'm inclined to "believe" what they say for the purpose of arguing that they should not be permitted to do anything that comes anywhere near creating that risk. By the way, did you read about the tiny particle accelerators that have been invented that are smaller than a pencil point that use light to accelerate the particles and therefore don't have to be huge? Great, now we can produce deadly gamma radiation at home, and maybe create our very own pet black holes to play with in our living rooms.You are very selective in what you choose to believe. Scientists are right, that they can create micro black holes, but wrong, that they would evaporate in a tiny fraction of a micro-second.
You accept theory, when it suits you, and rubbish it when it doesn't.
Evidently science has forgotten about Pandora and her box.
Yes, I know, and the operative word there is "claim."Actually, people DO claim to have seen Hawking radiation, by creating an event horizon in the lab, using powerful lazers. Like all science, it's not formally accepted until it's been repeated over and over, and every other possibility has been eliminated. And even then, nobody claims 100% certainty.
