A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Maybe not the actual referenced article, but its close:

While the study was testing for a specific kind of energy radiated by an artificial micro black hole...
What's being glossed over is the broad concept and implications of Hawking Radiation.

Simply put, a tiny micro black hole will evaporate itself out of existence quite rapidly.
There is no danger of such a thing growing and consuming everything like an expanding katamari damacy ball.
Damn.
Disappointed beyond measure. :(
Yeah, until we get a micro black hole that's piloted by a competent Katamari player, then it's over!
If only it could suck up a few specific people before evaporating itself out of existence.
