The Christian Science Monitor is presenting the case that
the LHC (currently under construction in Europe) may be
able to create Black Holes (small ones) to allow the
study of their evaporation via Hawking radiation.

Makes me wonder -- if you can create a black hole *and*
put enough matter into it sufficiently fast, shouldn't it
grow faster than it evaporates?
Looks like our toys are potentially becoming more dangerous.
