The only dangerous thing about a black hole is it's enormous gravity, and gravity is the weakest force in the universe. By an order of billions and billions. And gravity is directly related to the mass of the object.
Indeed. But your critique assumes without evidence that the only place a black hole can get mass is from the universe in which it is created, and from the dimensions that we humans can perceive. What about mass from all those other dimensions and universes? What if a quantum black hole can connect to mass somewhere else? "But there's no evidence of that" you say? Well, yes, but then again humanity has never been within a hundred light years of ANY black hole, and we know next to nothing about all the other dimensions and universes which are, or may be out there, so in the absence of evidence it's prudent not to create black holes anywhere near Earth until we know exactly what will happen through actual experimentation, not theorizing.
I'm billions and squillions of times more massive than a couple of protons, or whatever they use at Cern.
But I'm not sucking in matter due to my gravity.
Actually, you are. Any object with mass will "suck in matter" to some degree or another.
The gravitational force exerted by a couple of protons is almost infinitely small. There's no chance that it could have an effect on another particle.
And you know that how, exactly? Are you God? Do you have perfect knowledge of this and every other universe and dimension?
Also, as Jim said, a black hole of that size would evaporate in a squillionth of a second.
Or so the scientists think. Then again they've never been anywhere close to a black hole and have no idea what actually goes on inside one, so their predictions are just that, predictions. That being the case, I'd prefer if they would create their quantum black hole somewhere else, so that if something does go wrong the whole planet isn't at risk.
Anyway, if Seth is prepared with the risk to people's lives by giving everyone a gun to carry, he can hardly protest about the "danger" of creating a micro black hole. They have the "right" to do what the fuck they like.
"Gun control" is hitting your target. Nobody knows how to control a black hole.
