"Micro Black Holes

"Although the Standard Model of particle physics predicts
that LHC energies are far too low to create black holes,
some extensions of the Standard Model posit the existence
of extra spatial dimensions, in which it would be possible
to create micro black holes at the LHC [24][25][26] at a rate
on the order of one per second. According to the standard
calculations these are harmless because they would quickly
decay by Hawking radiation. The concern from opposing civil
society movements[27] is that, among other disputed factors,
Hawking radiation (which is still debated[28]) is not yet an
experimentally-tested or naturally observed phenomenon.
Thus, the above mentioned opponents to LHC consider that
micro black holes produced in a terrestrial laboratory might
not decay as rapidly as calculated, or might even not be prone
to decay and, if unable to rapidly evaporate, they could start
interacting, grow larger and potentially be disastrous to
Earth itself.[29]"

"Legal Challenge

"On 21st March 2008 a complaint requesting an injunction
against the LHC's startup was filed before the US District Court
of Hawaii[30][31] by a group of concerned individuals. This
group includes Walter L. Wagner who notably was unable
to obtain an injunction against the much lower energy RHIC
for similar concerns. See: RHIC - Fears among the public
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativ...g_the_pu blic

"The restraining order[32] is a demand for an injunction of
4 months to review the LHC's most recent safety documentation,
after it has been issued, and a permanent injunction until the
LHC can be demonstrated to be reasonably safe within
industry standards."
