The Large Hadron Collider starts up, more or less

<snip good reference to the LHC>

I guess the Luddites and their tame ambulance chasers (or
should that be "black hole chasers"?) weren't able to stop
it; good thing IMHO. My only real regret is that the US
didn't build the SSC.

Yeah, I read it when it came out. An even more relevant one
is...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrice_Upon_a_Time

....which actually deals with quantum black holes (produced
in a kinetic fusion reactor, not a collider, but still
close).

But we know a good bit more about quantum black holes now,
including the effect of Hawking radiation on their
lifetimes.

If Hawking was wrong, we'll find out the hard way.

At least all those "the Earth sucks" t-shirts would make sense.

And we could *finally* justify the standard practice of running around
like headless chickens, and waving our hands above our heads screamming
"We're all gonna die!"

Which, by the way, was what I got my staff to do every time we had a
fire drill at my last place of employ. Given that I was floor fire
warden, this was not widely approved of.
