Would someone like to share information please on exactly what the LHC will help discover and what might come out of it?
Direct mass to energy conversion, instant teleportation to anywhere in the universe, time travel, a number of nifty new weapons...there are quite a lot of things one could do with a captive black hole.

One variable is known; black holes either won't be made or will decay rapidly. This is because ultrahigh energy cosmic rays far beyond anything CERN will make bombard Earth and the surface of other planets all the time and we're still here.

If there are no resulting black holes, meh, it will advance theoretical physics and probably not much else. If they can make a few and capture them in an electrostatic trap you will see all sorts of weird trippy technology.

Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.
