Whew! The Earth will succumb to our madness long after I'm dead. I can live with that. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I suppose the size any black hole created in a lab will be constrained by the amount of matter/energy used to create it. My guess is they would be hard pressed -sorry, couldn't resist- to create own bigger than few grams. I shan't worry.

The article of the original post says these mini-black holes evaporate in 1e-17 seconds which corresponds to a mass of 0.5 kg.
