Today, some 25 years later, the Large Hadron Collider at Cern has just been switched on, prompting fears in some quarters that the
collisions it produces could
generate a mini black
hole that could swallow the earth.
As early as 2021 it will be joined by the Einstein Probe, a wide - field x-ray sentinel for transient phenomena such as gamma ray bursts and the titanic
collisions of neutron stars or black
holes that
generate gravitational waves.
Gravitational waves detectable from Earth are
generated by
collisions of massive objects, such as when two black
holes or neutron stars merge.
A fraction of those
collisions could
generate microscopic black
holes, which Goldberg and Anchordoqui think would produce a unique brand of particle showers.
By hurling protons together at 14 trillion electron volts, it will create the kinds of high - energy
collisions that are supposed to
generate microscopic black
holes.
The first two detections of gravitational waves
generated by the
collision of two black
