I don't know. There is the notion of risk. Probability not certitude. I think Warren posted about this.
Is it really clever to tinker with these very high energies ? What we know about these state of matter? Not very much , and it is obviously the reason d'être of the LHC.
As for me I don't believe in black holes , so I don't think the LHC is actually dangerous in this way. But i could be wrong and why take the risk of a disaster when there is so much more usefull things you could do with all the ressources , money ,people invested in this project. I think there are things more urgent than to find a new boso(n) ?
