Okay, so it’s got not a damn thing to do with gay romance. Unless some of the scientists are experimenting with more than atoms.
Hmmmmmm…….
**strokes the plot bunnies**
Anyway. Even if there is no super-smart scientist manlove going on, this right here is just waaaaay too interesting to ignore.
I have to say, I don’t really understand all the actual scientific concepts involved. But it’s fascinating anyway. And, yes, it does spawn those evil, evil bunnies. What if the experiment really did produce micro black holes? And what if those black holes really did threaten the very existence of the planet? Furthermore, what if the brilliant young theoretical physicist who’s new to the team realizes the true dangers of the project, takes his finding to the project head and is ignored? He’d despair at first, but then he’ll manage to convince the sexy mathmetician he’s been lusting after for weeks that the world’s really in danger. The two of them will embark on a dangerous quest to stop the project. And of course they will fall in love along the way and have mad hot sex on a lab table or something. And, since this is a ROMANCE, they will save the world and live happily ever after.
Hm. I guess this story was related to manlove after all. Ha! Science is fun *g*

Alas, those teeny, tiny black holes (which won’t be an option for a while, since they’ve not started that bit of the collider yet) are far too small and will be moving too fast to be a problem if they’re even ever created.
Black holes the size that could possibly (maybe, the physics are still a little unclear from what I understand) be made by the LHC would actually evaporate away into nothing shortly after they’re created, through the joys of quantum physics. For the duration of their very, very short lifespan their gravitational fields would be miniscule (like you’d not notice if you were a micron or two away) and if by some bizarre chance they actually did fail to evaporate they’d take eons to eat enough matter to grow large enough to notice.
That, of course, assumes they’d stick around. Which, alas, they wouldn’t. The black holes would potentially be created when they have two beams of protons spinning in opposite directions at near the speed of light and then smack into each other. Since the proton beams are moving at about the same speed, the resulting hole would be nearly stationary relative to the beams. Since they’re moving at nearly the speed of light (186,000 miles/second) ‘nearly stationary’ is still pretty damn fast. Escape velocity is 7 miles/second, so if the speed of the beams differs by more than .003% the resulting holes would go flinging into space. (Where they’d evaporate, if they even made it that far, which they wouldn’t)
So, y’know, in actuality it’s really safe, especially since the whole “LHC could make black holes!” thing is desperately unlikely.
Fictionally, of course, the thing should tear a hole in the space-time continuum and Hilarity should ensue. ;)

You know, that’s pretty much what Steven Hawking said too. When it comes to black holes, you really have to trust what he says, don’t you? Which is fantastic news for the world at large. Not so great for the bunnies, who don’t much like to defy the laws of physics. Sigh…
Of course there’s always the “something goes horribly wrong” plot device. Kind of obvious, but hey, whatever gets the boys in bed! Or on the lab table. Or wherever *g*
