      Hi, so in science and experiments, scientist do predict things. Particle physicist at CERN expect that, when particles are accelerated (move) at very high speeds close to speed of light in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and highest energy particle accelerator, collision of such high energy particles may produce tiny black holes. It is a may be thing. But do not worry about getting lost into those black holes, as their size would be very small, and our lives will not be affected by their experiments. 🙂
