Caution Standing Too Close May Result In Singularity
 
They think that they have produced a Black Hole in the laboratory.

"A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the characteristics of a black hole, a physicist has said"

They say that it isn't dangerous. Somehow producing the most destructive force known in nature seems a bit risky but what do I know.

I hate it when that happens. Pesky black holes. ;-}

Did you hear about the recent experiment where they used sound waves to collapse bubbles in a sulfuric acid solution, producing temperatures of 10 to 24 thousand degrees, hotter than the surface of a star?

They say they may even have induced microscopic amounts of fusion with this method.

Not exactly a desktop fusion generator yet, but a fascinating step towards one.

it doesn't pose a threat until they try to make a bigger one and it slowly starts sucking the earth in, and of course they won't know hot to stop it either
