One of the LHC's objectives is to create micro black holes. These holes are so small however, they evaporate into radiation almost immediately.

Are you going to get pulled into the black hole?
no, there are no nearby, exept in the LHC, but these turn to dust in 0.0000000000000000001 of a second.
Is a hadron collider safe?
Yes, although it is believed by some that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will create a black hole that will destroy the Earth, this is an incorrect fact. Although it is possible for the LHC to create a black hole, it would be so small (due to the fact that it was made by only two protons smashing into each other) that it would only be there fore one octillionth of a second... which is not long enough for it to consume anything
What is going on in LHC now?
As of October 30, 2009 particles are back in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To get periodic updates on the LHC in the form of videos go to http:/public.web.cern.ch/public
Will antimatter start a black hole?
No, Antimatter while annihilate our matter, meaning that it will completely convert our matter to light and heat, however antimatter is highly theoretical, and the LHC probably will not create any.
Will CERN kill us all with the collider do you think?
I think it's impossible that a black hole will arise at the LHC, due to the following reasons: Firstly, what is created at the LHC at CERN are Big Bang conditions, in other words: matter spreading outwards. When a black hole occurs it's matter imploding, so the exact opposite. Secondly, the LHC works with Hadrons (Protons or Neutrons) which are so small that they have a simply to little amount of mass to implode. Even our sun which is 1,19*1057 times heavier than a hadron is to leigthweight to implode to a black hole. Additionally IF a black hole arised, it would be so small (imagine a hadron imploding, a hadron alone is just 1,672 621 777· 10−27 kg heavy - the consequent black hole would be even smaller) that it would take billions of years (longer than the remaining lifetime of our sun) to gain a size that could be harmfull to mankind in any way. That's my opinion.
Are scientists going to stop the LHC?
Its been fired i think so no
Wouldn't the large hadron collider create a black hole?
Some believe this already happens; in this case, the black hole would evaporate quickly.The possibility of the LHC creating a dangerous black hole or other dangerous stuff has been considered, but scientists don't take this possibility very serious, mainly because cosmic radiation produces impacts with millions of times more energy, on a daily basis - and so far, the Earth has not been destroyed.Some believe this already happens; in this case, the black hole would evaporate quickly.The possibility of the LHC creating a dangerous black hole or other dangerous stuff has been considered, but scientists don't take this possibility very serious, mainly because cosmic radiation produces impacts with millions of times more energy, on a daily basis - and so far, the Earth has not been destroyed.Some believe this already happens; in this case, the black hole would evaporate quickly.The possibility of the LHC creating a dangerous black hole or other dangerous stuff has been considered, but scientists don't take this possibility very serious, mainly because cosmic radiation produces impacts with millions of times more energy, on a daily basis - and so far, the Earth has not been destroyed.Some believe this already happens; in this case, the black hole would evaporate quickly.The possibility of the LHC creating a dangerous black hole or other dangerous stuff has been considered, but scientists don't take this possibility very serious, mainly because cosmic radiation produces impacts with millions of times more energy, on a daily basis - and so far, the Earth has not been destroyed.
What happened to hordon cylinder experiment?
If you mean the LHC large hadron collider they conducted many many tests but recently failed to create in minature black hole which hurt the string theory as it may unprove it.
What happens if the Large Hadron Collider produces a small black hole?
Assuming it can be succesfully detected before it dissipates almost instantly a lot of scientists will get very excited.Some theoretical physicists believe that the detection of micro black holes would suggest the presence of extra dimensions (beyond the usual three that we experience). This would profoundly change our understanding of physics. Some believe that if there are extra dimensions then there may be parallel universes existing alongside ours!Assuming however that these extra dimensions do not exist (or do not operate in this way) current theories say that the LHC is not powerful enough to create micro black holes.Micro Black holes are incredibly hard to detect as they would evaporate almost instantaneously by a process known as "Hawking Radiation." If micro black holes could be created in the LHC they must also be being created all the time in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays, considering that we've been unable to notice these in 100 years of modern physics, the people at the LHC have quite a job on their hands.There is zero probability that the LHC will create a world-destroying black hole. Actually that's not quite true, quantum theory tells us that practically nothing is impossible, just unlikely to an unimaginable degree. The probability of the LHC creating a stable black hole effectively the same chance that you will spontaneously turn into a rabbit next Thursday.Hope that helps,L
Will the CERN project create a black hole?
No, that's technically impossible. Firstly, what is created at the LHC at CERN are Big Bang conditions, in other words: matter spreading outwards. When a black hole occurs it's matter imploding, so the exact opposite. Secondly, the LHC works with Hadrons (Protons or Neutrons) which are so small that they have a simply too little amount of mass to implode. Even our sun which is 1,19*1057 times heavier than a hadron is too leigthweight to implode to a black hole.

Will LHC kill us all?
No. The micro black holes that it plans on creating will evaporate almost immediately.
Will the LHC end the world?
No but it could create mini black holes. It is highly unlikely to draw the world into itself as this requires for the black hole to be larger than the orbiting body itself. (believe me , I should know from experience, my dad's an astronaut for ESA (European Space Agency for you dummies out there LOL!
