Thanks for the welcome!

I can't point to one. I suppose one could make the claim that the nuclear bomb is science gone awry, but that logic has a major kink in it. These fears, I think, are heightened by science fiction. It's the old chestnut: Scientist creates machine that will bring about change, discovery and power ... and the next thing you know, you have Doc Ock. Trust me, that's where these fears are born.

I shudder to tell you what I do ... but ... I'm a journalist. Though, lately, I'm starting to question my profession. That aside, I did read through the threads, and I have read scholarly articles, and I have read news reports, and I have talked to people I know who understand science and things involving math (which because I am a journalist, I am predestined at birth not to understand <--- sorry, inside joke), and I'm satisfied that the "they know not what they have done" scenario doesn't appy here.

And if the world did get sucked into a black hole, well, I can't stop it and I wouldn't have time to lament my fate ...
