You are in no position to throw accusations considering the amount of misinformation you are spreading.

You could have spent two minutes to find out the actual arguments from scientists regarding the safety of the LHC, but chose not to.

Here it is: https://home.cern/science/accelerators/large-hadron-collider...

> Although theory predicts that microscopic black holes decay rapidly, even hypothetical stable black holes can be shown to be harmless by studying the consequences of their production by cosmic rays.

Note that the article cites critics as well as technical refutations. Your claim that critics were dismissed is baseless.

I believe a healthy dose of humility would be in order.

If you actually would read the discourse more than a google search it was that:

Cosmic ray black holes are likely to have a momentum and would probably fly out to outer space. While LHC micro black holes would stay on Earth and the potential LHC black hole could eat it. (Assuming Hawking radiation does not exist)

The crits were dismissed because LHC is working.

		They're addressing that: > Those produced by cosmic rays would pass harmlessly through the Earth into space, whereas those produced by the LHC could remain on Earth. However, there are much larger and denser astronomical bodies than the Earth in the Universe. Black holes produced in cosmic-ray collisions with bodies such as neutron stars and white dwarf stars would be brought to rest. The continued existence of such dense bodies, as well as the Earth, rules out the possibility of the LHC producing any dangerous black holes.

So it's safe because of a strawman you set up and knocked down without experimental data?

Ironic.

No, the claim was that critics were painted as "anti science" and that Hawking radiation was taken as granted. The link I shared shows that critics were taken seriously and confronted with formal arguments, including the scenario in which black holes are stable.

I made no statements about the safety of the LHC itself.

		What experimental data supported the safety conclusion?
