The more I've read about the LHC black hole theory the more unlikely it's seemed and at this point it just seems downright ludicrous. For a microscopic black hole to be formed breaks the laws of the standard model of particle physics and even if the model is wrong the chances of a black hole being created are very low. Should a black hole be created the Hawking radiation means that it should disssapate immediately. In fact the main support for the theory that this microscopic black hole will destroy the Earth comes from the physics equivalent of Jack Thompson who submitted a very unproffessional paper on the matter and even looking at this paper everything he says is null and void as although he takes into account the general theory of relativity, he fails to even factor in the physics of the LHC itself. I'm no expert on the mater, but in my opinion the whole thing has been overblown by the media and internet hysteria.
